Create Authentic Patina Effects
This specialized kit allows you to recreate stunning verdigris effects and textures on your models and miniatures. Perfect for adding that authentic aged look to copper, bronze, and brass elements in your projects.
Suitable for all types of modeling and craft applications, from military models to dioramas, steampunk creations, and architectural miniatures.
What's Included in the Kit
AK11267 - Specially formulated base paint that reacts with the oxidizing agent to create realistic verdigris effects. This paint provides the foundation for the chemical reaction.
AK11268 - The catalyst that creates the natural oxidation effect through chemical reaction. Can be diluted with water to achieve more subtle gradations of patina on your pieces.
Simple Application Process
* Pro Tip: The oxidizing agent can be diluted with water to achieve more subtle results on your pieces, allowing for greater control over the intensity of the effect.
💡 Expert Techniques
Layered Effects: For more realistic results, apply the effect in multiple thin layers rather than one thick application.
Selective Application: Use a fine brush to apply the oxidizing agent only to specific areas for a more controlled, realistic weathering.
Enhancing the Effect: You can enhance and customize the verdigris effect with other modeling products such as pigments, acrylic paints, or enamel effects.
Creating Variations: Use a sponge to dab the oxidizing agent for an uneven, more natural-looking finish.

Understanding Verdigris
Verdigris is the bluish-green patina that forms naturally on copper, bronze, and brass when exposed to air or seawater over time. This effect has been observed throughout history on everything from ancient artifacts to the Statue of Liberty.
The AK Interactive Verdigris Effect Kit replicates this natural oxidation process in a controlled, accelerated manner, allowing modelers to achieve in minutes what would take years in nature.
