Product overview

Blue Moon is a 30 ml acrylic shade for wargaming miniatures, a cool blue tuned to go over light, blue and green base tones. It reaches into the recesses to darken and separate them, giving fast, simple shading across a squad while the surface stays matt. The colour comes from micro-dispersed pigments — each under a micron — carried in pure acrylic resin, and it sits inside a three-step painting order: base colour first, then this shade, then a highlight.

Goes over light, blue and green base tones to shade and define the recesses.
Part of a Base, Shade, then Light sequence for quick, even miniature shading.
Dries matt and water-resistant — once set it will not reactivate.
Deepen it with a second light coat; AK13010 medium is compatible for adjusting it.

Notes · Q & A

What is a model wash and when would I use one?

A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.

Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?

A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.

How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?

Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.

Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
