About Vallejo 77111 Sapphire Blue:

Sapphire Blue is a radiant metallic highlight colour designed to brighten BASE metallic blues, ultramarines, and cool tones. Thanks to its ultra-fine pigment, it enables smooth transitions, crisp edge highlights, and brilliant reflective points with minimal brush marks.

It excels on raised panels, futuristic armour, mechanical structures, magical artefacts, and any metal surfaces needing expressive and luminous accents.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses genuine metallic pigments to reproduce natural shine and reflection on miniature surfaces. Unlike NMM, TMM provides authentic metallic appearance while allowing classic shading and highlighting principles.

The range follows the BSL system (Base – Shade – Light):

• BASE: high-coverage metallic base colours.
• SHADE: satin washes to deepen shadows.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlight tones — including Sapphire Blue.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE tones.

This system creates convincing metallic depth, vibrant reflections, and realistic volume while preserving the brilliance of true metal pigment.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over BASE metallic blues for strongest highlight effect.
• Use fine brushes for edge highlights and reflective points.
• Thin with water or Vallejo acrylic thinner for smooth blends.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
