Description

Squadron Pigments are finely ground - down to 50 microns, to ensure consistency. They can be applied dry, mixed with Squadron Colors Bright White paint, or suspended as a wash or filter. When properly mixed, they can be sprayed through an airbrush for that perfectly-dusted look. Our pigments can be mixed together to achieve an endless variety of colors to suit your modeling needs.

Squadron Pigments are non-toxic, naturally-occurring elements from a quarry located in France. Natural Earths & Ochres are colors including Ochres, Siennas, Umbers and natural iron Oxides. Compatible with all mediums, these colors are permanent providing a strong depth of color. Minerals are exclusive shades with a natural Ocher base unique to our quarry. Their composition is 90% Ocher/10% Mineral or Organic pigment. As with our Ochers, these UV resistant colors are compatible with all mediums and respond to light in a way that is unmatched by synthetic pigments. Oxides include both organic and mineral Oxides. They are not found in the earth as natural clays, but are created using natural components such as minerals or organic compounds, that are manipulated, usually by heating. As with all our pigments, our Oxides are safe and non-toxic. All of our pigments are ground to 50 microns for ease of mixing. They contain no cadmium, mercury, tin, arsenic, radium, lead or other hazardous materials. Some very sensitive individuals may experience skin irritation with prolonged contact. Although Squadron Pigments weathering powders are non-toxic, care should be exercised to avoid breathing any dust generated by their usage.
