Vallejo Model Color Metal Medium (18ml)

Metal Medium is one of those clever little bottles that opens up effects you can't get any other way. Formulated with mica, you mix it into your acrylics to give them an iridescent, pearly lustre — or brush it on neat for a soft silvery shimmer. It's brilliant for non-metallic-metal work, subtle sheens on cloth and armour, and adding a touch of otherworldly glow to a scheme.

At a glance

Best for

• Iridescent and pearlescent effects on any colour
• Subtle sheens on cloth, armour and wings
• A silvery shimmer applied on its own

It's a small bottle that quietly earns its place, turning flat colours into something with real depth and movement.

The secret to that pearly, iridescent glow. Pairs naturally with the rest of the Vallejo Model Color range and a soft brush.
