Brand: Vallejo

Vallejo Pigment FX 73123 Dark Steel (35 ml) is a fine powdered pigment from the Vallejo Pigment FX line in the shade Dark Steel. Use it for soot, smoke trails, weathered metal parts, shading light areas, and subtly blending technical details.

Apply the pigment in small amounts. Dry application creates a fine dust, smoke, or grime effect; wet application helps create heavier marks around exhausts, weapons, engines, and metal parts.

Technical Information and Recommendations

  • Type: fine powder pigment for model patina
  • Volume: 35 ml
  • Uses: dust, soil, rust, soot, smoke, leaves, patina, terrain, and dioramas
  • Dry application: brush, dabbing, rubbing into the surface, and gradual layering
  • Wet application: mix with Pigment Binder 26233 or a small amount of water to achieve the desired consistency
  • Surface: Looks most natural on a matte or soft satin finish
  • Fixation: a fixative or a very light coat of varnish; varnish may darken the pigment and partially alter the final shade
  • Combinations: Wash FX, Weathering FX, and Diorama FX
  • Base colors: Model Color, Model Air, or Surface Primer
  • Tools: model-making brushes

Work with the pigments gradually and in small amounts. Dry application works well for a light dusting and to even out the surface, while wet application is suitable for thicker layers, mud, rust, or deposits. Before final fixation, it’s a good idea to test the result on an inconspicuous area, as both the varnish and the fixative can make the pigment appear darker.
