Vallejo Medium

Post by Jeremy »

I normally tend to thin my Vallejo’s with water, however the pigmentation often suffers and quite often air bubbles arise. When I bought my first Vallejo’s about 8 or 9 years ago, I received a glaze with one of the sets, however it was relegated to the back of the drawer.

I tried it out today and am very impressed. It thins the paint nicely, with no loss of pigmentation and keeps the paint thin for a very long time.

I’m keen to try out the matt medium next.

Anyone else using these?

I've just got a big jar of flow improver from W&N (no euphemism there...) which works for me and is better value than then small Vallejo bottles...

Had a look at that last night on Amazon, I’ll probably get that when mine runs out.

I think that the Vallejo Medium was not selected because the Vickers medium offered the ability to fire AP and HE. Of course, the Vallejo medium would have been much easier to do in Caunter camouflage and could have been upgunned to the 6 pdr.
