Vallejo Model Color 70118 — Metallic Colors Set (8×17ml)

The Vallejo Model Color 70118 — Metallic Colors Set is a curated 8-paint metallic collection covering the essential metals for miniature painting: silvers, golds, bronzes, and coppers. From chain mail and swords to firearms and mechanical detail, this set gives brush painters everything they need to bring metallic surfaces to life.

Why this set matters

• Complete metallic wardrobe — the eight most-used metals for wargaming and figure painting in one package
• Brush-friendly Model Color formula — unlike Metal Color which is airbrush-optimised, Model Color metallics are formulated for classic brush technique
• 17ml eyedropper bottles — lasts hundreds of miniatures
• Mix and layer freely — blend Silver + Gold for pale gold, Copper + Bronze for antique brass, Gunmetal + Silver for edge highlights
• Water-based, self-levelling matt — superior pigment density, no visible brush strokes

TMM vs NMM — where this fits

This set is your foundation for TMM (True Metallic Metal) technique using traditional brush painting. For a more advanced airbrush-focused approach with real metallic pigments and the BSL system, see our Vallejo TMM Starter Set (77.272). Painters using the NMM (Non-Metallic Metal) technique may prefer regular Model Color paints instead.

Perfect for

• Warhammer 40K — Space Marines, Necrons, Custodes, Adeptus Mechanicus power armour trim
• Age of Sigmar — fantasy armour, weapons, magical items
• Historicals — armour, weapons, tank details, ornamentation
• D&D and RPG miniatures — knightly armour, treasure, magic items
• Bust and figure painters
