AK-Interactive AK 048 PIGMENT FIXER

Pigments are used to add realistic effects, the effects of weathering, aging, vehicle finishes, fortifications and structures in modeling.
They are perfect for creating the effects of accumulated fresh or dried dust and mud, dirt, corrosion, ash, water stains, sooting, produced by time and natural erosion.

A pigment is simply a dust, a powder obtained from various metals (e.g. magnesium, zinc, titanium) and minerals, used to produce all colors.
The difference between a pigment and a paint is explained by a simple explanation, a paint is a pigment combined with a substance that "clumps" its particles and allows it to adhere to painted surfaces.

With the knowledge gained by AK Interactive during the long experience of developing the best pigments available for modelling, we have now developed this new basic range of the most essential colours for doing any type of effect.
Avoid getting lost in a more extensive range now that the most necessary and useful colours are here. Also, this new range offers pigments that are even finer and that have more exact colours.

Pigments are a good medium for any modeller. They can be used ont heir own or in combination with other products. The different colours can be mixed to achieve a greater variety in tone.
It’s important to avoid a uniform look on your model and pigments can be used to bring life to your model with very convincing results.
Over an enamel base pigments can be used in combination with water or with White Spirit if a protective varnish is applied. Over an acrylic base coat you can best use White Spirit to handle the pigments.
Once the pigments have dried the original colour will reappear.
