Vallejo Game Colour Paint Game Color Black Wash (73.201)
For armor, vehicles, planes, ship, figures and war game figures. All surfaces exposed to sun, wind and dust, rain and snow, experience a change in color, a loss of intensity, a dulling and general fading which however is not even or overall. For the model painter, these changes in color are very difficult to reproduce, and to achieve these effects on a model, washes or filters are the perfect solution.
Developed by experts at Acrylicos Vallejo in collaboration with professional artists, the new formulation of the Game Color range is an evolution in fantasy and wargame miniature painting.

The intuitive and easy-to-learn painting method makes it easier to start painting miniatures. The colour series was created using the BSL (Base, Shadow, Light) method. The BSL method provides colour-matched triads of hues for the base, shade, and accent. This will greatly facilitate the choice that is necessary for a particular shade. Especially the less experienced miniature painters can easily set accents and shades with the brush.
The new Game Color formula improves user-friendliness. The Game Color colours are distributed very evenly, are opaque, intense and saturated. They are easy to apply and blend with a matte finish. The selected pigments have a high colour intensity and offer a high resistance to fading due to UV radiation. The new formula with state-of-the-art resins offers optimal durability against wear and tear and prevents brush strokes from showing. Game Color is designed for use with a brush, but can also be sprayed with an airbrush if diluted appropriately.
The washes are always needed to blend the edges of the colors on a model painted in various camouflage shades. The colors can also be mixed together to achieve further variations of shade and can be used with airbrush or brush, according to the model and the effect desired.
Model Wash can be mixed with pigments to achieve a wide range of effects such as oil and flaked rust, mud, earth, dust, moss, etc. and when mixed with acrylic colors, they further help achieve the impact of heavy wear and weathering.
The washed have been formulated with a modified acrylic resin so that the superficial tension is similar to that of the traditional solvent-based washes and filters, but with the advantage of working with a water-based medium. Average drying time is around 20 minutes. If several layers of wash are to be applied, it is best to wait around 40 minutes between applications. Painting tools are cleaned with water.
