AMMO drybrush paints for realistic miniature detailing

AMMO by Mig Jiménez developed this drybrush line to make texture and highlighting work faster, cleaner, and easier for modelers of all skill levels. With a thick, creamy consistency and strong pigmentation, these paints load beautifully onto the bristles and release color with excellent control. Whether you’re emphasizing raised edges, creating dust effects, adding wear, or boosting contrast on armor plates, terrain, vehicles, or figures, AMMO drybrush paints give you reliable results in just a few passes. This collection includes a wide range of single colors as well as themed sets designed for everything from rust and dirt to sand tones, greens, and urban color schemes.

What’s in this collection

Each bottle contains a specially formulated drybrush paint that adheres well to raised details without dripping or pooling. The color range includes essential greys, browns, greens, rust tones, blues, and metallics, giving hobbyists a full palette for weathering and texture work. The themed sets offer curated combinations that make it simple to recreate real-world finishes, such as dust buildup, sand effects, faded color transitions, chipped edges, and heavy wear on armor or machinery.

These AMMO drybrush paints are water-based and non-toxic, making cleanup easy and keeping your workspace comfortable during long hobby sessions. The dense texture of the paint ensures a smooth, predictable release that doesn’t overload the brush or obscure fine details. Many modelers appreciate how these paints help speed up tabletop-quality projects or add extra refinement to display pieces.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Using ammo drybrush paints can dramatically improve how your surfaces read under light. The technique brings out raised shapes, panel structures, and natural wear patterns on everything from tanks and aircraft to figures, bases, and terrain.

• Load the brush lightly, then wipe off most of the paint to avoid oversaturation.
• Apply soft, repeated strokes to build highlights gradually.
• Use light greys or off-whites for final accents on any color scheme.
• Combine multiple drybrush colors to simulate dust, dirt, rust layers, and sun fading.
• Choose themed sets when you want fast, coordinated results for dioramas or full armies.

These paints work well on plastic, resin, metal, MDF terrain, and textured surfaces. Because drybrushing is quick and forgiving, beginners can see immediate improvement in their work, while advanced painters can refine transitions, weathering, and subtle details with precision. The matte finish helps unify surfaces and makes miniatures photograph cleanly, an advantage for display, competition, or content creation.

Designed for scale modelers

Ammo drybrush paints excel when working on tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and ground elements where roughness or accumulated wear must look natural. Modelers use them to highlight bolts, hatches, weld seams, corrugated metal, stone, bricks, wooden planks, cloth folds, and mechanical edges. Combined with washes and streaking products, these paints create layered, believable effects without requiring complex blending techniques.
