Thanks a lot for the detailed look at the verdigris! Prior to the grimdark vid, it never occurred to me to smooth those edges and seeing it done here will change the way I utilize it moving forward. That moment when you come back to it after cleaning up the edges with water and the gradient it creates is so awesome to see. The time and effort invested using multiple paints can really stack up and saving you from that is where this effect shines! With an airbrush, from personal experience and other's input, you're good to go as long as you immediately flush with water after spraying. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the rust!
So glad to read that you enjoyed the video and my work! I'll definitely be making a Rust video in the near future. Still need to purchase the Moss effects paint. -John
Thanks for this video. I bought a bottle of this a while ago for an upcoming Chaos Knights project. I did a tester on some Death Guard but didn't get the lighter effect, but now I see that the "rub off" with the damp cotton swab seems to be the key point.
Fantastic video, and lovely result. I love the look you achieved btw before the effect paint was applied by the way, so when you added the effect man! It was good!
I love Patina and Rust on miniatures so i buy almost every rust effect paints i come across, and i agree, The Dirty Down Rust Effect is hands down the most impressive 1-bottle-solution i've tried so far. The only ones that top it are those mixtures that comes with bags of real steel rust flakes and powders etc, but they are just way too messy to only achieve a slightly "better" result.
I also use an iron oxide paint, but that requires more work after it dries. I simply can't have anything looking new. Has to be weathered and aged. -John
I have been using the original rust for a few years, before it was Dirty Down - back then I could get the bottles from the UK for £8 plus S&H to the US of around £10 - so of course I'd order a bunch. I haven't yet tried the verdigris but the moss is fantastic - though I seemed to have lost my bottle of it. It's somewhere in my studio...
They have a sure fire hit with these effects paints. Goblin hut sent me a bottle of the Moss effects, free and no strings attached, so I'm planning on a project that I can utilize all three. Thinking that will be in about a month. -John
That, and I'm thinking that it helps to absorb any shock if there are a lot of bottles together in a case. Although they are plastic bottles... 🤔 -John
Hey mate, hope you can help me. Just bought Vertigris and tried it on two models. I can't seem to get the stuff to change color. It just stays dark green. I heated the vertigris bottle, heated the model, was shaking the bottle for 5 minutes (timed, ball bearing was all over the place) but the stuff stays dark green. When I take off the vertigris off the model it does change color a little bit in some places. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?
Hey thanks for reaching out, hope I can help. I've found that if the paint goes into a wet or semi wet figure the lighter green has an easier time coming out. I also went over different areas with just a wet brush with water on it. Alternatively, a small spray bottle with water can also help. I'll be using that technique in a future video. Please let me know if any of that helps you out! -John
I haven't tried it on bare plastic but would guess it might work. It is on the thicker side so it might stick with no issues. Please let us know if you try it out! Thanks! -John
Just a heads up for anyone looking to buy this surprisingly its actually cheaper to buy it from Element Games in the UK and have it shipped over here I looked at buying it from the distributor in the USA it would have been $28 with tax and shipping I bought it from Element Games even after currency conversion and shipping it was only 15 dollars
@@outofthisworldmodelsandmin898 you can buy 250ml bottles for £35, it might work out cheaper for you to buy it that way mate, less cost for shipping too as it's one big bottle instead of lots of little ones at seperate times.

Very cool product and effective on the metallic pieces ! Great sharing . Cheers , Robert .
Gorgeous. I just bought some and I'm excited to experiment with it.
Honestly, you won't be disappointed 👍
Really nice effect.

I've found that the key is just practice and manipulation. Thanks for the comment!

I’m thinking about the 250ml bottle of the moss. The huge bottle is more cost effective.
I haven't looked at that yet, but it does make sense.
Impressive metallic shades, nice job!
Thank you very much!
i just bought the 3 pack with verdigis, rust and moss. cant wait to try them
You won't be disappointed! Thanks for the comment!
It's a cool product. I will buy this . Thanks for the video. 💯💯💯🔝🔝🔝🔝
I was hesitant due to the cost, but it is so worth the investment.
I might have to check this out, despite the price. Would love to see the rust as well.
Did not expect that light color to show up. Was that because of layering this product or did it appear over time?
It actually appeared after I started knocking it back with water. I guess that thinning resulted in the lighter patina coming through.
Really useful video. I was considering picking up the verdigris too. Probably will, once I have a project that's a good fit for it.
It's funny, I'm finding things on projects that can use it. Not too much, don't want to go overboard. Glad you liked the video!
-John
Please do a review on the dirty down rust and miss!!! This vid was so helpful
Hey, thank you so much! I'm looking at a project that I can use all three effects paint on one project! More to come!
-John
Ohhhh Verdigris, didn’t see that one!! I’ve got the Rust and moss ones…Gotta love talent in a bottle 👍👍👍
They have a good recipe for all of those effects paints!
@@outofthisworldmodelsandmin898 Hell yes 👍👍👍

Thank you so much! It's such a fun paint to use. If a little pricey.
Their Rust is hands down the most realistic rust paint on the market. Nothing even comes close.

The stuff in the bag is Vermiculite. Probably just a cheap way to add extra impact protection. It's mostly harmless.
My first thought when I saw that stuff in the bag was that it was meant to absorb moisture, like if a bottle opened up during shipping
That, and I'm thinking that it helps to absorb any shock if there are a lot of bottles together in a case. Although they are plastic bottles... 🤔
-John
Can anyone tell me what mini is being painted?
It's one of the Basilicanum statues. I actually found this one on eBay.
awesome video mate :) great stuff !
Thank you!
Cool effect 👍
It really is! I have yet to be disappointed by their products.

Can this be applied directly on top of plastic, or does it still require primer or a base coat of whatever paint.

Good to know! Really appreciate the heads up!
I think the price is worth it if I save the money not buying the other colors I would need to achieve this effect, then add in the time savings.
Well said! Thank you!
-John
Why did it cost you that much? Mine cost me £8.00 delivered!
$20 USD. Tried to find any distributor offering a discount, but didn't see any.
