Vallejo 73103 Dark Yellow Ochre pigment 35ml

Pigment FX in Dark Yellow Ochre shade is a loose modeling pigment designed for realistic reproduction of dirt and signs of wear on models and dioramas. The color is suitable for effects of earth, sand, dust, and light rust tones, making it easier to build natural transitions and surface variations.

Pigments can be used in several ways depending on the desired effect. Dry application allows for quick highlighting of details and areas where dust settles (e.g., recesses, rivets, edges). For effects of dried mud or permanent dirt, the pigment can be fixed with thinner or a dedicated fixer. Layering makes it easy to grade intensity and achieve a more complex texture.

The product is useful in both vehicle modeling (armored, civilian, railway) and terrain scenes. The ochre shade blends well with other earthy pigments, facilitating mixing and matching to the specific substrate (soil, sand, road dust).
