Thicker coating than translucent weathering liquid. Opaque when dry. Colour forms as liquids dries. Surfaces are only slightly visible through the dried weathering liquid, depending on how much is applied.
- Great dark dirty moss colour that looks particularly good on buildings around gutters, pipework and at ground level.
- Best for moss on models, buildings and landscapes. A lovely colour and very visible on dark surfaces. A touch of moss is a great way of making models look old and neglected/uncleaned.
- Best not to apply to a large surface without testing first.
- Colour: Dark green colour.
How to use:
- Apply neat, straight from the pot using a paint brush or air brush spray.
- Thin with water or Modelmates Opaque thinning liquid.
- Apply to a non-porous surface such as plastic, let dry, and then wipe using a damp cotton bud or tissue (kitchen roll), to create great weathered effects. (Dye will permanently stain porous surfaces)
- Can be made permanent by sealing with a fine acrylic fixative spray. Apply fine, mist coats so as not to dissolve the dye. Test first because some varnishes change the colour.
- Mixes with all other opaque weathering liquids.
