True Metallic Metal Ancient Copper paint set 4x18ml Vallejo 77253

Vallejo True Metallic Metal Ancient Copper 77253 is a professional set of four water-based acrylic paints, designed to achieve an exceptionally realistic ancient copper effect. The True Metallic Metal (TMM) series is distinguished by the use of the finest, real metallic pigments, which guarantees natural light reflection on the painted element's surface and an unparalleled, authentic glow.

The paints in this set feature a warm, coppery reflection with a delicate reddish tint. They are perfect for painting aged metals, ancient relics, rusting war machines, historical details, and as a complementary color for gold shades. The paint formula allows for extremely smooth and controlled application, and the excellent covering properties ensure that even thin layers do not obscure the finest details of the miniature.

Set Contents:

• 77.103 Ancient Copper (Light) – 18 ml
• 77.123 Ancient Copper (Base) – 18 ml
• 77.143 Ancient Copper (Shade) – 18 ml
• 77.163 Ancient Copper (Airbrush) – 18 ml

Main Advantages and Features of the TMM Series:

• Realistic Glow: a finish that fully captures the nature of real metal and the effects of the passage of time.
• Versatility of Use: the set includes a color triad (Light, Base, Shade) dedicated to brushwork, supplemented by a paint optimized specifically for airbrushing.
• Excellent Coverage: even and very thin layers that preserve model details.
• Safe Formula: the water-based acrylic composition is quick-drying and non-toxic.

Application and Tips:

For best results, shake the bottle vigorously before each use to evenly distribute the pigments settled at the bottom. We recommend applying the paint to a previously primed surface (e.g., black or dark grey), which will effectively enhance the metallic sheen. Applying multiple thin layers allows for full control and achieving natural, extremely smooth tonal transitions.
