About Vallejo 77130 Ultramarine Blue:

Ultramarine Blue delivers a vivid, saturated metallic blue that performs exceptionally well with both SHADE and LIGHT tones in the BSL workflow. Its ultra-fine pigment creates smooth coverage, strong shine, and crisp readability once applied to a miniature.

It is well suited for fantasy, sci-fi, and cyberpunk projects, providing a dynamic and eye-catching foundation.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses real metallic pigments to achieve natural shine and physical light reflection, while allowing painters to apply traditional shading and highlighting methods. Unlike NMM, TMM retains genuine metallic behaviour.

The BSL workflow organizes the system:

• BASE: opaque metallic foundations — Ultramarine Blue is the main blue basecoat.
• SHADE: satin shadow tones for depth and contrast.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlights.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready equivalents of BASE colours.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Suitable for black, grey, or white primers.
• Brush: use neat or slightly thinned.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
• Ideal for building cool blue TMM schemes.
