About Vallejo 77113 Beetle Green:

Beetle Green is a radiant metallic highlight tone inspired by the iridescence of beetle shells. Designed to brighten BASE tones in the green–turquoise spectrum, it provides smooth transitions, crisp edge highlights, and striking reflective points thanks to its ultra-fine metallic pigment.

It excels on raised panels, creature armour, ornate decorations, futuristic plating, magical constructs, and any cool-tinted metal surface needing expressive, shimmering highlights.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses genuine metallic pigments to reproduce natural shine and metallic reflection on miniature surfaces. Unlike NMM, TMM retains authentic metal appearance while supporting classical shading and highlighting principles for depth and volume.

The range is structured around the BSL method (Base – Shade – Light):

• BASE: strong-coverage metallic base colours.
• SHADE: satin washes to reinforce shadows.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlight tones — including Beetle Green.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready metallic BASE colours.

This system enables painters to create convincing metallic depth, vivid reflections, and natural volume while preserving the brilliance of true metal pigment.

Usage tips:

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