DISPLAY VALLEJO TRUE METALLIC METAL

Includes: 80 colors in 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz bottles (20 chromatic families × 4 references, 6 bottles each) + 64 sets of 4 colors (8 references)

The True Metallic Metal display includes the complete range of 20 chromatic families developed according to Vallejo’s BSL (Base, Shade, Light) system.
Each family includes four references: LIGHT: metallic highlight, BASE: main metallic color, SHADE: satin shading tone, and AIRBRUSH: metallic base formulated specifically for airbrush use - offering a practical and coherent solution for painting metallic effects on fantasy, historical, and wargame miniatures. The lower hangers also include 8 chromatic sets with 4 colors each.

Height: 41.93 in / 106,5 cm

What is the TMM technique?
The True Metallic Metal (TMM) technique seeks to represent realistic metallic surfaces using metallic paints, rather than simulating metal with flat colors as in Non-Metallic Metal (NMM).

TMM allows painters to achieve natural reflections and a visually striking finish with less pictorial artifice, preserving the material richness of metal in miniature. To master this technique, simply using a metallic paint is not enough. TMM requires applying the classical principles of light and shadow used in volume modeling - working with gradients, transitions, and contrasts, just as in any other non-metallic finish. For years, painters have searched for a way to achieve realistic metallic finishes, with shine, depth, and control over light reflection.
True Metallic Metal (TMM) is Vallejo’s answer to that search.

Unlike other systems that rely on constant improvisation, True Metallic Metal provides a structured guide to painting with logic. Each color in the system has its own BSL family, allowing painters to plan ahead, maintain chromatic coherence throughout the miniature, and reproduce results consistently , whether painting large units or showcase pieces. The BSL system applied to metal allows painters to plan each element from its value structure: where the light hits,
where the shadow falls, and what metallic tone reflects it. A complete, coherent, and practical system, designed for any kind of miniature: fantasy, Sci-Fi, historical or wargame.
