Dark Yellow Ochre Vallejo 73103: deep golden sand and ochre earth effects

Extra-fine powder pigment designed for golden sand, clay dust and warm earthy deposits with a natural finish. Its deeper tone than light ochres makes it ideal for enhancing shadows, build-up in recesses and transitions towards browns and rust tones. The fine grain makes it easy to create glazes and smooth transitions on metal, plastic or resin; it is a non-flammable material for safe indoor use. The 35 ml jar will last for multiple weathering projects and dries without unwanted shine.

For dry application, apply the pigment with a soft brush wherever dust would naturally accumulate (horizontal surfaces, recesses, tracks and running gear). Blend with a clean brush to tone down panels or break up uniform areas. If you want light fixing without losing texture, touch the pigment with a brush dampened in a fixer/binder; for extra volume, mix it with binder to a paste and create crusts and build-ups. Compatible with water, acrylics and varnishes; tools can be cleaned with water and soap.

Suggested uses: on vehicles operating in arid theatres (North Africa, Middle East) it creates dust deposits with a warm, deep tone; in dioramas and road sections it simulates compacted earth, roadside ditches and embankments with dark ochre soil; in urban scenery it adds earthy dust on brickwork and construction areas. For extra realism, alternate layers with lighter earth tones and rust colours, sealing when needed to preserve the stratified weathering effect.
