About Vallejo 77129 Celestial Violet:

Celestial Violet is designed for painters seeking a luminous, airy, and highly readable metallic purple base. Its ultra-fine metallic pigment ensures smooth transitions, strong shine, and excellent compatibility with both SHADE and LIGHT steps in the BSL workflow.

It is particularly effective on fantasy and sci-fi miniatures that require an arcane, crystalline, or cosmic appearance.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses real metallic pigments to achieve natural shine and physical light reflection. Unlike NMM, which simulates metal through flat tones, TMM preserves true metallic optics while supporting traditional shading and highlighting.

The BSL system organizes the workflow: Base – Shade – Light

• BASE: strong-coverage metallic foundations — Celestial Violet is the key light-purple base.
• SHADE: satin washes to deepen shadows and enrich tonal transitions.
• LIGHT: bright, reflective highlight colours.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE equivalents.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Performs well over black, grey, and white primers.
• Brush: apply neat or slightly thinned.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle at approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
• Ideal base for light-violet and magical TMM schemes.
