View · Overview

Product overview

Sun-dried moss, algae and similar decay take on the light green character represented by AK027 Slimy Grime Light. The 35 ml enamel is suited to weathered wood, tree trunks, vegetation, rocks and terrain, where it can suggest growth faded by exposure to sunlight. Its lighter tone represents drying rather than a newly damp deposit.

  • Place the effect with a fine brush, then soften it before drying using a clean brush dipped in AK011 White Spirit.
  • Washes and filters applied over it can develop different moss and lichen effects.
  • The colour may be paired with AK026 Slimy Grime Dark.
  • Made in Spain.

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.
