Vallejo Muddy Water 200ml

Nothing brings a diorama to life like water, and Muddy Water is Vallejo's answer for rivers, puddles and boggy shorelines with that authentic silty, brown look. It's a dense, translucent gel you build up in layers to create real depth — paint the bed a darker tone first and the effect looks convincingly deep. As it cures you can sculpt ripples and movement into the surface.
