View · Overview

Product overview

Human Skin is an acrylic Deep Shade made for shading flesh across all skin types on wargaming miniatures. Its controllable formula supports successive layers, so contrast can be increased to suit the particular complexion instead of being fixed by one application. Micro-dispersed pigments in pure acrylic resins lightly tint the forms and strengthen darker areas where the product gathers, while retaining an overall matte finish. It fits AK's Base–Deep Shade–Light painting sequence for miniature armies.

  • Supplied in a 30 ml bottle.
  • Once set, the dried layer will not lift with water or the range's own medium.
  • AK13010 Deep Shade Medium can be used when more transparency or lower contrast is required.

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.
