Vallejo Oiled Earth Wash

A good wash does half the weathering work for you, and Oiled Earth is the one to reach for when you want grimy, oily build-up in the recesses. Part of Vallejo's Model Wash range, this water-based acrylic flows straight into panel lines, rivets and detail, drying to a matt finish that instantly adds depth and a well-used look to armour, vehicles and machinery.

Best for

• Panel lines, rivets and recessed detail
• Grimy, oily build-up on vehicles and armour
• Quick shading or use as a filter over a base colour

High capillarity means it pulls itself into the detail, so a single pass does a lot of the heavy lifting.

Instant depth for your weathering. Pairs perfectly with pigments and a matt varnish to seal the effect.
