About Vallejo 77128 Amethyst Purple:

Amethyst Purple delivers a rich, saturated metallic purple perfect for dramatic and stylized miniature schemes. Its ultra-fine pigment ensures smooth application, vivid shine, and strong behaviour with both SHADE and LIGHT steps of the TMM workflow.

It works exceptionally well in fantasy and sci-fi projects, where it adds a mystical or arcane aura to armour, weapons, artefacts, or decorative features.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses real metallic pigments to achieve natural shine and authentic reflective properties. Unlike NMM, which simulates metal with flat tones, TMM preserves true metal behaviour while supporting traditional shading and highlighting techniques.

The BSL method structures the workflow:

• BASE: strong-coverage metallic foundations — Amethyst Purple is the key purple-metal base.
• SHADE: satin washes deepening shadows and enhancing contrast.
• LIGHT: bright, reflective highlights.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE equivalents.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Suitable for both black and white primers.
• Brush: use neat or lightly thinned.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
• Ideal base for rich purple-metallic TMM schemes.
