AMMO by MIG Color & Fluorescent Pigments

Fluorescent Pigment Colors

The collection includes several fluorescent shades for projects that require stronger color contrast or bright accent areas.

Visible options include fluorescent green, orange, blue, violet, yellow, pink, and other related shades. These colors can be used selectively on miniatures, terrain, markings, effects, and decorative details.

Standard Color Pigments

In addition to fluorescent colors, the collection includes standard vivid pigments such as red, yellow, magenta, orange, green, cyan, sky blue, lime green, and darker green tones.

These colors can support both natural and stylized projects depending on the subject and application.

Applications for Miniatures & Scale Models

• Fantasy miniatures: Bright accents, magical effects, unusual terrain colors, and decorative details.
• Science-fiction models: Energy effects, markings, machinery details, alien terrain, and high-contrast color accents.
• Military and scale models: Selected markings, surface variation, terrain details, and specialty finishing where the chosen color is appropriate.
• Dioramas and scenery: Colored groundwork, environmental details, vegetation accents, debris, and stylized terrain.
• Miniature bases: Small color accents, fantasy terrain, vegetation effects, and themed groundwork.

Using Pigments Dry

Pigments can be applied dry with a suitable brush when a loose or powdery surface effect is desired. Work with small amounts and build the color gradually to maintain control over placement and intensity.

Bright and fluorescent colors can create strong contrast, so test the amount on a separate surface when working on a finished model or miniature.

Using Pigments with Fixers & Binders

A compatible pigment fixer or binder can be used when the pigment needs to remain more firmly attached to the surface or when a different texture is required.

Wet application can change the apparent color and intensity of a pigment. Test unfamiliar combinations before using them across a completed model.

Layering & Mixing Colors

Multiple pigment colors can be layered to create transitions, contrast, or varied terrain surfaces. Darker tones can provide depth while brighter colors can be concentrated on selected areas.

When working with fluorescent pigments, gradual application can help control how strongly the color stands out against the surrounding paint scheme.

Color Pigments for Creative Effects

These pigments are not limited to traditional earth or weathering tones. Vivid colors can be incorporated into fantasy bases, science-fiction environments, alien landscapes, gaming terrain, display pieces, and other projects where unusual color is part of the design.

Choosing the Right Pigment

Choose a pigment according to the surrounding color scheme and the type of surface or effect being created. A bright pigment can appear very different over black, white, metallic, or strongly colored surfaces.

Reference images or test pieces can help determine how much pigment is needed before applying it to the finished project.
