Vallejo Game Color 72452 Rotten Flesh Xpress Color (18 ml)

Vallejo Game Color 72452 Rotten Flesh Xpress Color (18 ml) is a rotting flesh shade from the Vallejo Xpress Color line. These paints are designed for quick work on miniatures: once applied, they naturally settle into recesses, highlighting details while toning down raised surfaces.

Xpress Color works best over a light, smooth primer. It’s ideal for fantasy and sci-fi figures, wargaming armies, board games, and small diorama details where you want to quickly achieve clear shadows and a color base without complex layering.

Shake the paint well before use. For a stronger effect, apply it directly from the bottle; for smoother transitions and greater control, mix it with Xpress Medium. Work smoothly on large, flat surfaces to avoid streaks.
