Vallejo Weathering

Vallejo Weathering effects are supplied as follows:

• Vallejo Splash Mud: When a vehicle drives through muddy terrain, mud splashes are inevitable. The range of Splash Mud has been formulated so that by simply blowing air through the airbrush over a brush loaded with mud, from a short distance from the model and on the specific area, realistic splash effects will be spattered all over the model.
• Vallejo Thick Mud: has a heavy and thick consistency and a slightly glossy finish, ideal for reproducing terrain on vignettes or dioramas, as well as for texture on the wheels of a car or truck, the lower part of vehicles, and accumulations of mud on the tank tracks. The remains of vegetation included in some of the references provide an especially realistic texture to the final aspect of the model.
• Vallejo Environment Effects are formulated to recreate the effects of the elements on vehicles, armor, constructions and terrain. The Environment Effects include grass crushed under the wheels of a truck or the tracks of a tank, the remains of dirt streaking the windows of a vehicle, the humidity, the appearance of moss and lichen on stones, rust and snow, and vegetation crushed and mixed in mud on the roads of the front. The elements of nature and the effects of weather are recreated in this range to provide the modeler with the environmental setting in a quick, easy and realistic way.
• Vallejo Engine Effects: A vehicle with an engine has many moving parts -the transmission, wheels and axis, tracks, hinges and chains- all of them mechanisms subject to traction and movement which have to be lubricated to function correctly. In addition, the internal combustion engine needs fuel, and dust accumulates, while dirt forms a part of this mechanical and dynamic context. The range of Engine Effects offers the modeler a series of references to reproduce the fuel stains, the spilled oil (leaving a trail of drops on the vehicle panels and in the dust of the road), the marks left by the oil drums on the floor of the truck, the dirt accumulated in the engine compartment, all these to enhance the realistic aspect of the model.
