AK676 Moss Deposits is a 35 ml textured enamel effect for adding moss, lichen and other green organic growth to worn model surfaces. Applied selectively, it dries to a matt moss appearance with a slight surface texture. The edges can be softened as the material is worked so the growth sits naturally against its surroundings.
Place the deposit with a round brush on wood, concrete or vehicles.
Use AK011 White Spirit while blending and smoothing the boundary.
Keep the dried effect matt, or apply AK079 Wet Effects for a wetter appearance.

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.
