Bronze Green is a rich blue-grey shade from the Vallejo Model Color range. Its matte, desaturated tone makes it ideal for military modeling, camouflage patterns, and rugged scenic builds. Straddling the line between blue, green, and grey, Bronze Green is versatile enough for both historical and sci-fi projects.
This paint is fully lightfast and made with permanent pigments, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy. It’s designed for brush use and features a smooth consistency that flows evenly over surfaces. It dries matte with no visible brush strokes, making it excellent for precision work and layered techniques.
Bronze Green pairs beautifully with other Model Color tones. Use 70973 Light Sea Grey or 70986 Deck Tan for highlights, and deepen shadows with 70980 Black Green or 70965 Prussian Blue. Mix with 70951 White to create soft highlight tones for worn edges or faded panels.
It serves as a fantastic base coat for tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, or fortress walls. When combined with earth tones like 70871 Leather Brown or 70982 Cavalry Brown, it contributes to convincing natural scenes. In sci-fi contexts, Bronze Green works great on mech armor, vehicle plating, or industrial buildings with a gritty, functional look.
Bronze Green can also be used in weathering techniques—thin it down to create glazes, filters, or washes. Its matte finish makes it easy to add light modulation or depth without unwanted gloss. This makes it well-suited for advanced techniques like color modulation or zenithal highlighting.
The paint comes in an 18ml r-PET bottle with an eyedropper cap, designed for clean, precise dispensing and long-term preservation. If the nozzle clogs, a simple needle or toothpick will clear it easily.
Whether you’re painting a weathered tank, a sci-fi gunship, or a dystopian building, Bronze Green adds authenticity, balance, and a grounded tone to your palette. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool for painters of all experience levels.
