AK Interactive AK637 Starship Streaking Grime (35 ml) is an enamel modeling effect. Shade: a dirty shade for sci-fi surfaces.

On fictional machines, adjust the direction of your brushstrokes to match the surface orientation, operation, and the expected effects of gravity or airflow. Volume: 35 ml.
AK Interactive AK637 Starship Streaking Grime (35 ml) Creates realistic vertical streaks of running dirt and localized deposits. The "Dirty" shade for sci-fi surfaces is designed for streaks of dirt and localized deposits on spaceships, robots, vehicles, and wargaming miniatures. On fictional machines, adjust the direction of your brushstrokes to match the surface orientation, usage, and the expected effects of gravity or airflow.
Unlike a wash, this effect is not applied uniformly to all crevices. It is used to specifically depict dirt, moisture, or operational deposits, and its shape is created by subsequent blending.
Recommended Procedure
- Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed.
- Work on a fully cured painted or varnished surface. For unknown combinations of paints and varnishes, first test on a hidden area.
- Using a fine, pointed brush, draw short, irregular vertical lines starting from the upper edges and details. You can leave some of the product in the corners to simulate accumulated dirt.
- Let it dry for about 10 minutes. Then, using a clean flat brush lightly dampened with White Spirit, brush from top to bottom to soften the lines until a natural transition is achieved.
- Vary the length, thickness, and intensity of the strokes. Once dry, you can reinforce selected streaks with another thin layer.
- Allow the layer to dry thoroughly before applying another coat of paint or additional enamel effects.
Use AK Interactive White Spirit 35 ml for blending and removing excess paint. For finer work and less odor, AK Interactive Odorless Thinner 35 ml is recommended.
