Professional Concentrated Acrylic Wash for Detail Enhancement

AMMO by MIG\'s Acrylic Washes are specially formulated, highly pigmented water-based panel liners designed to bring out the finest details on your scale models, miniatures, and figures. These concentrated washes are versatile and can be thinned with water to achieve the perfect intensity for any application – from subtle filters to bold panel line definition. The water-soluble formula can be reactivated even after drying, allowing for additional manipulation, blending, and removal. Available in 15 carefully selected colors to suit any era, theater, or subject.

Concentrated Formula – More Control, Less Waste

• Highly Pigmented: From the bottle, these washes have coverage almost equal to paint – ideal for bold effects straight from the container.
• Space-Saving 15ml Bottles: The concentrated formula stores easily and reduces waste – you control the intensity by adding water.
• Adjustable Intensity: Because the wash is concentrated, thinning is recommended for most applications. Start with a 1:3 ratio (wash to water) for a medium tone. Experiment to find your perfect consistency.
• Reactivable with Water: Even after drying, the wash can be reactivated with water, allowing you to blend, soften edges, or completely remove mistakes without damaging the underlying paint.

Key Features & Benefits

• Professional Formulation: Developed by master modeler Miguel Jimenez specifically for scale modeling applications.
• Excellent Capillary Action: Flows naturally into panel lines, recesses, and around details without flooding flat surfaces.
• Water-Soluble & Reactivable: Easy application, cleanup, and correction with water – no harsh solvents needed. Re-wet dried wash to blend or remove.
• Fast Drying: Typically dries to the touch in approximately 10 minutes, allowing rapid workflow.
• Versatile Application: Perfect for vehicles, aircraft, ships, figures, sci-fi models, and dioramas.
• Concentrated & Economical: A single 15ml bottle lasts for many projects when thinned appropriately.

How to Use – Basic Application Technique

1. Prepare the Surface: For best results, apply a gloss varnish (such as A.MIG-2053 Glossy Lucky Varnish) before using washes. This protects the underlying paint and creates a smooth surface that enhances capillary flow.
2. Thin if Desired: For general wash and panel lining, a 1:3 mix with water is a good starting point. For subtle effects, thin 1:5 or more. For bold, paint-like coverage, use straight from the bottle.
3. Apply the Wash: Load a fine liner brush with the wash. Touch the tip to panel lines, recesses, rivets, and details – the wash will flow naturally into the recesses.
4. Allow to Dry: Let the wash dry for approximately 10 minutes. Drying time may vary based on humidity and thickness of application.
5. Remove Excess or Correct: Use a clean cotton swab, dampened slightly with water, to gently remove excess wash from flat surfaces. Because the wash is reactivable, you can also correct mistakes or blend edges even after drying.
6. Create Effects (Optional): Before or after drying, use water and a damp brush to drag, streak, or blend the wash for weathering effects.
7. Seal (Recommended for Handling): Once satisfied with the result, seal with your preferred matte varnish to protect the work – especially if the model will be handled or exposed to liquids.

Advanced Thinning Technique – Permanent Wash Mixture: For applications where you want a durable, water-resistant finish, thin your wash with a mixture of water and matte varnish instead of water alone. A typical ratio is 1 part wash, 1 part water, and 1 part matte varnish (adjust to taste). Once this mixture dries, it will have a durable, permanently fixed finish that does not reactivate with water. Use this technique on areas that will be handled frequently or where you are certain of the placement. Note: This mixture will lose the reactivation property of the pure wash – correction must be done while still wet.

Advanced Applications – Weathering Techniques Panel Line Accentuation:

Acrylic washes excel at flowing into recessed panel lines, seams, and details. The capillary action draws the wash along grooves, creating crisp, defined lines that add depth and realism. Use Black (A.MIG-0711), Dark (A.MIG-0708), or Neutral Grey (A.MIG-0710) depending on the base color and desired contrast. For lighter-colored vehicles, Brown for Sand (A.MIG-0707) or Ochre (A.MIG-0712) provides a more subtle, natural appearance.

Dust and Dirt Deposits:

These washes act like liquid pigments, leaving pigmented deposits that perfectly replicate accumulated dust and dirt. Apply Dust (A.MIG-0713), Ochre (A.MIG-0712), or Brown for Sand (A.MIG-0707) around wheel wells, lower hull areas, and suspension components. Allow the wash to pool slightly in recesses, then remove excess from raised surfaces. The pigment particles will settle naturally, creating convincing dust buildup that blends seamlessly with the base color.

Rust Streaks and Deposits:

Create realistic rust effects by applying Light Rust (A.MIG-0704) or Dark Brown (A.MIG-0705) around rusted components, exhaust systems, and weathered areas. For vertical rust streaks, apply the wash at the top of the area and use a damp brush to drag it downward – the concentrated pigment will create natural-looking rust runs. For heavy rust deposits, apply multiple layers, allowing each to dry partially before adding the next.

Salt, Rust, and Water Marks on Ships:

Naval models benefit greatly from wash weathering. Use Blue (A.MIG-0706) or Neutral Grey (A.MIG-0710) to create waterline marks and salt streaking along hull plates. Apply Light Rust (A.MIG-0704) around anchor chains, deck fittings, and hull details. For rust runs from scuppers and deck fittings, apply the wash and drag downward with a damp brush – the pigment will leave authentic-looking streaks. Use Brown for Dark Yellow (A.MIG-0700) for dried salt and marine growth effects.

Atmospheric Grime and Streaking on Spaceships & Gunpla:

Sci-fi and mecha models benefit from the directional application of washes to simulate atmospheric re-entry grime, exhaust residue, and battle damage. Use Starship (A.MIG-0709), Dark (A.MIG-0708), or Black (A.MIG-0711) applied in the direction of travel to create realistic streaking across the hull of spacecraft or Gunpla kits. For panel lining on mecha, the washes provide crisp definition around armor plates and mechanical details. The reactivable nature allows you to soften streaks or create graduated effects from heavy to light grime accumulation.

Engine Grime and Oil Streaks:

Military vehicles, aircraft, and mecha all benefit from realistic engine grime and oil leaks. Use Dark (A.MIG-0708) or Black (A.MIG-0711) applied around engine panels, transmission housings, and hydraulic components. For oil streaks, apply the wash at the source (such as an engine access panel) and drag downward with a damp brush – the pigment will create natural-looking oil runs. Combine with Light Rust (A.MIG-0704) for a mixed grime-and-rust effect common on older or heavily used vehicles. For modern vehicles, use a lighter hand with Neutral Grey (A.MIG-0710) thinned for a cleaner but still weathered appearance.

Figure and Organic Effects:

On figures, use these washes to define folds, creases, and textures in clothing, leather, and equipment. The reactivable nature allows for smooth transitions between shadow and highlight. Apply thinned washes for a stained or weathered look on fabric, or more concentrated for deep shadow definition.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Start Thin: Because the wash is highly concentrated, begin with a thinner mix (1:3 or 1:5) and build up intensity as needed. You can always add more, but removing excess is more work.
• Test First: Always test your thinned wash on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area to ensure the desired intensity and flow.
• Directional Application: For streaks and stains, apply the wash in the direction of gravity or airflow – this creates natural-looking weathering effects.
• Layer for Depth: Build up effects gradually with multiple thin layers for maximum realism and control.
• Reactivate for Corrections: If you make a mistake or apply too much, simply use a damp brush or cotton swab to reactivate and remove the wash – even after it has dried.
• Save Product: Place only a few drops of concentrate on your palette at a time, then add water. This avoids contaminating the entire bottle.
• Work in Sections: On large models, work in manageable sections to control drying time and blending.
• Seal for Durability: If your model will be handled during gaming or display, always seal finished weathering with a matte varnish to prevent reactivation from accidental moisture or handling.
• Permanent Mixture: For a durable finish that will not reactivate, dilute the wash with a mixture of water and matte varnish instead of water alone. Keep in mind that this sacrifice the wash\'s ability to be reworked once dry.
