Ammo Modelling Pigment Fixer

The Ammo by MIG Modelling Pigment Fixer is a dedicated binding fluid designed to permanently secure weathering pigments to scale models and dioramas. It allows modellers to preserve dusty, muddy, or earthy pigment effects while maintaining a natural, realistic finish without disturbing the texture.

It is an essential product for anyone working with dry pigments in armour, aircraft, or terrain modelling.

About Pigment Fixer

Pigment Fixer is a thin liquid solution that is applied over dry pigments to lock them in place. It works by capillary action, flowing into the pigment particles and binding them to the surface once dry, without significantly altering their natural appearance.

Unlike heavy varnishes or paints, it preserves the matte, dusty look of pigments while improving durability.
