About Vallejo 77125 Forged Red:

Forged Red provides a strong, saturated red-metal foundation ideal for painters seeking to build schemes based on heated steel, magical alloys, decorated armour plates, or stylized futuristic components. Its ultra-fine metallic pigment ensures smooth coverage and bright reflective behaviour.

As a BASE tone, it pairs perfectly with SHADE colours for depth and LIGHT highlights for strong edge reflections and brilliance.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses real metallic pigments to deliver natural shine and realistic reflective properties while still enabling classical shading and highlighting techniques. It offers a true metallic appearance unlike NMM, which simulates metal with flat colours.

The BSL method defines the workflow:

• BASE: high-coverage metallic foundations — Forged Red is a key warm-metal base.
• SHADE: satin washes that deepen shadows without dulling shine.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlights for crisp reflective points.
• AIRBRUSH: BASE equivalents formulated for airbrush use.

Usage tips:

• Shake well before use.
• Suitable for black and white primers.
• Brush: use neat or slightly thinned.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle at approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
• Ideal as the base layer for red–metal TMM workflows.
