MODEL COLOR
|
|
The Modelcolor
range contains 208 colors and an extensive assortment of mediums and
varnishes, designed especially for Miniature and Modelpainting. The
colors have been chosen with the help and advice of the best model
painters from many countries. Those colors which have corresponding
Federal Standard, Ral and RLM equivalencies are so identified.
Modelcolor has been formulated with
permanent pigments for fine arts; all colors are completely lightfast
and opaque, (with the exception of the fluorescent and transparent
colors, which are semi-opaque). A few metallic pigments (in an alcohol
base) are included in the range, since these give a harder brilliance
than the waterbased metallics. |
| The
waterbased formula of Modelcolor has been specifically developed for
adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but the
product is not toxic, not flammable, and does not give off noxious
fumes. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or alcohol
Modelcolor dries quickly to a matte, even and waterproof finish. Exact
drying time depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment,
on the surface which has been painted, and on the thickness of the paint
layer - although the colors are dry to the touch within minutes, the
water content keeps on evaporating, and the paint does not acquire its
true permanence until several weeks after application.

| Game Color is a
special selection of waterbased acrylic colours for players and
collectors of Miniatures Games (Fantasy Games or other War Games). This
compact range has been especially developed to contain all the
frequently used colours in fantasy figures, in a formula particulary
designed for adherence on plastics and metals, using a new resin of
unequalled durability and resistance to scrapes and abrasion. Colours brush on easily and smoothly, and dry to an opaque, matte finish. Their finely ground texture makes them perfect for the most miniature details as well as for large surfaces. |
|
| They are highly
pigmented, light fast and waterproof once dry, and are packaged in a
spillproof plastic 17 ml. bottle with eyedropper. All colours can be
mixed with one another and diluted with water. Errors can be corrected
inmediately with water or a small amount of alcohol.

The colours have
been very carefully chosen to provide the model-painter with the
references most frequently employed. Tests have been carried out for
over two years to develop the tonalities which correspond to the RLM,
RAL and FEDERAL STANDARD colours commonly used. Model Air adheres exceptionally well to all surfaces. The adhesion of Model Air to resin models, plastics, steel and white metal is extraordinary. |
| The pigments used
for airbrush colours need to be ground to the finest possible
consistency to avoid obstruction of the airbrush valves. The
revolutionary milling process of the pigments used in the Model Air
formula gives the model-painter technical assurance and finest texture
when applying the colours to the model, and produces a very superior
quality when applying the colours with a brush for miniscule details,
for washes and transparencies and layered application of diluted glazes.

| A color system
designed in collaboration with Panzer Aces Magazine for reproducing the
colors of the uniforms of tank-crews and general armed forces in WWII. In order to simplify the method of painting the uniforms of the crew of military vehicles in the Second World War, the specialists on the staff of Panzer Aces Magazine have created a series of colours which coincide with the standard shades of these uniforms. |
|
| All
uniforms consist of a base and a lighter color for highlighting and
grading. Three colors have been selected for the fleshtones, as well as
a series of colors to reproduce the design of Splinter Camouflage,
printed on many of the garments and canvas equipment of the German Army.
