Vallejo Pigment FX Old Rust 35ml 73.120

73.120 Old Rust

A deep, brownish-red pigment representing aged, mature rust; the dark, flaky surface of metal that has been corroding for some time. Used for the deepest rust accumulations in recesses, holes, and drainage channels, and as the base layer in multi-step rust effects before lighter tones such as New Rust are applied on top. Particularly effective on abandoned vehicles, derelict machinery, and heavily weathered warship and diorama subjects where rust has developed over years rather than weeks.

About Vallejo Pigments: Vallejo Pigments are ultra-fine dry powders used to create realistic weathering and atmospheric effects on miniatures, scale models, and dioramas. Applied dry with a soft brush, they produce a matte, powdery finish that no liquid paint can easily replicate, ideal for dust, dirt, rust, and corrosion effects. Pigments can also be mixed with Vallejo Pigment Binder or isopropyl alcohol to create a paste for more precise and controlled application. Once applied, pigments can be fixed permanently with a matte varnish or dedicated pigment fixer to prevent disturbing the effect during handling.

Technical: Loose dry pigment powder. Apply dry with a soft brush for dusting and atmospheric effects, or mix with Vallejo Pigment Binder or isopropyl alcohol for paste application. Fix with a matte varnish or pigment fixer once satisfied with the result. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. 35ml pot with a childproof top.
