About Vallejo 77112 Hydra Turquoise:

Hydra Turquoise is a bright metallic highlight tone designed to enrich BASE metallic colours in the turquoise–blue-green spectrum. Its ultra-fine pigment structure allows smooth transitions, precise edge highlights, and vivid points of reflected light with minimal visible brush marks.

It performs excellently on raised armour plates, magical constructs, futuristic machinery, ornate fantasy elements, and any cool-toned metal surface requiring expressive, luminous light accents.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses genuine metallic pigments to achieve natural shine and reflection on miniature surfaces. Unlike NMM, TMM preserves the authentic metallic look while enabling painters to apply classical shading and highlighting principles for depth and volume.

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

• BASE: full-coverage metallic base colours.
• SHADE: satin washes to intensify shadows.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlight colours — including Hydra Turquoise.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE tones.

This system provides painters with a cohesive method for creating realistic metallic depth, vibrant reflections, and convincing three-dimensional volume while maintaining the brilliance of true metal pigment.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over BASE metallic turquoise or blue-green tones.
• Use fine brushes for edge highlights and precise reflective points.
• Thin with water or Vallejo acrylic thinner for smooth blending.
• For airbrush use: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
