Green Acrylic Paints for Miniatures

This collection includes olive, forest, moss, camouflage, acid, jade, stone, lizard, dragon, frog, plasma, and other green shades for miniatures, figures, terrain, vehicles, creatures, armor, uniforms, foliage, and fantasy effects.

Combine dark greens for shadows with medium and lighter shades for highlights, edge definition, glowing details, natural vegetation, and smooth color transitions.

Rust, Oxide and Weathering Colors

Light Rust, Rust, and Green Oxide can help create aged metal, corrosion, oxidized details, damaged machinery, abandoned equipment, weathered vehicles, industrial scenery, and battlefield terrain.

Apply these colors selectively around joints, edges, recesses, bolts, damaged panels, and areas where moisture or environmental exposure would naturally affect the surface.

IONIC Real Heavy Metal Highlight Colors

Real Heavy Metal highlight colors are designed as the final bright stage of a coordinated metallic painting process. They can be applied to edges, raised details, reflections, scratches, trim, weapons, armor, jewelry, mechanical parts, and polished surfaces.

The range includes silver, gold, copper, red, magenta, purple, blue, turquoise, green, antique, worn, tarnished, and burnished metallic highlight colors.

Paint Thinners and Retarder

IONIC thinner can help adjust paint consistency for brush and airbrush applications. The thinner-with-retarder option can also help slow drying during selected painting techniques and working conditions.

Add thinner gradually and test the mixture before applying it to the final miniature or model. The required ratio may vary depending on the color, airbrush setup, brush technique, and desired finish.

Cleaner and Brush Care

IONIC Cleaner and Ionic Brush Soap support routine maintenance after miniature-painting sessions. Regular cleaning can help remove paint residue and maintain more reliable performance from brushes and compatible airbrush equipment.

Follow the individual product instructions and avoid allowing paint to dry inside brushes, airbrush paint passages, or other application tools.

IONIC Kolinsky Paint Brushes

IONIC Kolinsky Series M brushes are intended for controlled miniature and figure painting. Available options include individual brush sizes and a coordinated four-brush collection.

These brushes can be used for base layers, controlled details, highlights, lining, facial features, small accessories, and other precision painting tasks.

Modeling and Assembly Supplies

IONIC Cement Gel is included as a hobby assembly product for compatible model-building applications. Review the individual product listing for material compatibility, application instructions, drying information, and safety guidance.
