Ammo Mig 7830 - Dio Set Tarmac Roads

Ammo Mig 7830 Dio Set Tarmac Roads – set for recreating asphalt roads in dioramas

Ammo Mig 7830 is a complete set designed to recreate realistic asphalt surfaces in dioramas and vignettes. It contains the materials needed to reproduce the characteristic colour, texture and nuances of asphalt — from freshly laid surfaces to more worn and weathered roads.

The acrylic texture paste reproduces the asphalt surface with its colour and structure. The included masking tape and white acrylic paint let you paint road lines and markings with clean, sharp edges. The pigments add tonal variation and help convey dust, dirt and signs of wear, while the fixer bonds them firmly to the surface.

Set contents:

• VIGNETTES Asphalt Ground – acrylic asphalt texture paste (A.MIG-2157)
• ATOM Color Matt White (FS37925) – white acrylic paint for road lines (ATOM-20000)
• Masking Tape 2 – masking tape, 6 mm x 25 m (A.MIG-8039)
• Pigment City Dark Dust (A.MIG-3028)
• Pigment Europe Earth (A.MIG-3004)
• Pigment Fixer (A.MIG-3000)

Material and effect

The acrylic texture paste lets you build a surface with realistic structure and colour, while the pigments and fixer give control over the colouring and degree of wear on the road. Combining these elements, you can recreate both a smooth, fresh surface and a worn, dusty road with stains and scuffs. The set works for dioramas of different themes — civilian, military, fantasy and science fiction.

How to use:

Apply the acrylic texture paste to the prepared base, shaping the asphalt surface, and let it dry. Mark out road lines and markings with the masking tape and paint them with the white acrylic paint, then remove the tape once dry. Finally, work in the pigments to vary the tone and add dust, dirt and signs of wear, and bond them with the pigment fixer.
