Ammo of Mig Jimenez: Drybrush Paint – Light Rust

Drybrushing is an old school technique that has been used by modellers for
decades. With it, we try to emphasize the three-dimensional appearance of the
different textures and details of our models. Due to its simplicity and quick
application, it was used in the movie industry to paint sets and models. For
many years it was the most used technique by all modellers all around the globe.
Although other new weathering techniques appeared eventually, drybrushing is
still widely used for dioramas and groundwork, buildings, science fiction and
wargames, fantasy, figures, and military vehicles. It is a versatile and easy to
use technique that can produce convincing effects of volume, authentic textures,
and highlight details on any model.

AMMO has designed a new paint formula specifically for drybrushing with the
ideal density and specific characteristics that make it the best type of paint
for this technique. The new DIO DRY BRUSH is the perfect solution for all those
modellers who love this iconic technique, arguably one of the simplest and most
effective weathering techniques. Simply use a brush of any size, load it with
paint, dry it to the touch by rubbing it on a piece of paper towel or a cloth to
remove the excess, and then apply it by gently rubbing onto the details of your
model to create a smooth, uniform texture.

DIO DRY BRUSH colour line consists of a range of lighter tones in order to
impart a worn look on your models, as well as darker shades including metallic,
rust, and chipping tones to create a range of dynamic effects.

DIO DRY BRUSH jars have a very wide mouth to facilitate the introduction of
all brush types and contains colour for many projects. In addition, the paint is
water-based and easy to clean, non-toxic and odourless. These colours dry very
quickly to the touch in a few minutes and are not affected by enamel and oil
washes.

The application method is very simple and is comprised of only three
easy steps:

• Dab the brush directly into the jar and load with a moderate amount
  of paint.
• Remove the excess paint onto an absorbent surface.
• Gently rub the brush over the surface details of the model to highlight them
  and enhance the volume.
