NGA-202 Acrysion Gundam Assemble Color (Shade Color) - Shade Brown

The color

Shade Brown belongs among the shading shades of the Acrysion Gundam Assemble Color range. The range is divided into base shades, with which areas are painted, and shading shades; those are meant to deepen engraved lines, recesses and corners. Brown is the gentler choice of them. It does not make as hard a contrast as black, but it stays warm, so the shadow acts more like natural soiling than like a drawn line.

Where it is useful

It works best over warm and medium-light surfaces: over a sand, beige, olive or brown area, over wood, over metal parts and over sand-colored vehicles. It also serves well where settled grime and dust are meant to show, that is, around screws and rivets, in the recesses of armor parts and in the places where water runs down.

Application tips

• Stir the paint thoroughly before use, the pigment settles at the bottom when left alone.
• It is thinned with the thinner meant for the Acrysion range; residues that have not dried can be washed off the tools with water.
• The exact procedure for laying the shading shades of this range down is described in the manufacturer's instructions.
• Try the shade on a single part or on a piece of leftover plastic first, not straight on the whole model.
• Add the shadow in coats; taking it away is only possible by repainting, adding is possible at any time.

Who it is for

For modelers who want to bring a model out with a warm shadow without hard contrast, whether it is a robot kit or a military vehicle. The thinner, the base paints and the clear coat are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
