Product overview

Violet Wash closes out AK Interactive's Wargame Washes range — thirteen colours, and this is the last of them. The range is aimed at tabletop fantasy and sci-fi, where bold colour pairings still read at arm's length. Brush it into recesses, nooks and contours and it shades and defines them. The colour targets are light violet bases, brown tones and fantasy finishes — and it is the one wash in the range also intended for metallic parts.

  • More concentrated than a filter, so it defines recesses and contours with a stronger shade.
  • You can work the effect back and soften it with a clean brush, or one dipped in enamel thinner.
  • Mix it with other Wargame Washes to build your own custom shades.
  • Enamel-based: thin it and clean up with enamel thinner.

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.
