Green Stuff World Water Soluble Patina VERDIGRIS is a specialized modeling patina designed to create realistic oxidized copper and bronze effects. This product easily reproduces the characteristic green-turquoise tarnish that appears on metal surfaces exposed to time and weathering. It works perfectly on statues, ornaments, architectural elements, armor, weapons, and all copper and bronze details.
Thanks to the partially water-soluble formula, you can freely control the intensity of the effect. Once dry, excess product can be removed or blended with a damp brush, sponge, or cotton pad, achieving natural tonal transitions and realistic aging.
Patina was developed specifically for modelers and tabletop players. It's perfect for creating the effects of age, moisture, dirt, and oxidation on miniatures, vehicle models, buildings, terrain, and dioramas. The pigments naturally settle into the surface's recesses and textures, providing a more realistic result than traditional paints.
The verdigris effect looks best in recesses, areas where moisture collects, and around details where corrosion naturally sets in. In modeling, the "less is more" principle is often applied – subtle verdigris accents usually look more realistic than a complete surface coating.
