Vallejo True Metallic Metal SET 77255 Amethyst Purple (4x18ml)
Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM) is a revolutionary range of water-based acrylic paints designed to achieve the most realistic metallic look on your models and figures. Thanks to its innovative formulation with ultra-fine metallic pigments and the division into four stages of the painting process (Base, Light, Shade, Airbrush), you get an authentic and scale-accurate shine and depth. The paints boast high opacity and are ideal for brush and airbrush application (special version). With the TMM range, you can take the details of weapons, armour and metal elements to a new level of realism.
💎 A metallic sheen and realism that will dazzle
The Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM) line is the result of extensive development aimed at offering modelers and figure painters metallic acrylic paints that closely resemble the appearance of real metal. Forget about graininess and artificial sheen. These paints use real metallic pigments with extremely fine grain, ensuring a smooth finish, excellent coverage, and a realistic, scale-accurate sheen. They’re perfect for detailing plastic model kits of airplanes, tanks, historical miniatures, and fantasy figures.
🎨 BSL System: Base, Shade, Light – a comprehensive solution for volume
A key feature of the TMM series is a sophisticated four-step system (BSL – Base, Shade, Light + Airbrush version), which makes it easy to create visual volume, depth, and contrast on metallic surfaces:
-
TMM Base: Primary metallic shades (steel, bronze, gold, etc.) that serve as the first layer. They offer balanced coverage and saturation.
-
TMM Light: The lightest and brightest shades for targeted lightening, highlighting edges, and the brightest highlights. They give the metal a realistic sheen.
-
TMM Shade: Darker, metallic shades with a subdued sheen. They function similarly to washes, creating shadows in recesses and giving the metal a patina and depth.
-
TMM Airbrush (Airbrush Version): Specially formulated paints with the same color tones as the BASE shades. They are optimized for viscosity and surface tension for direct use in an airbrush (recommended nozzle size: 0.3 mm; recommended pressure: approx. 1.5–2 Bar). Ideal for quick, even base coats on larger surfaces without visible brush strokes.
✅ Key Features for Modelers:
