One of the best videos I've ever seen on the Dirty Down products! It's one of those things I keep meaning to get, but don't because of price and for now I've been enjoying the FX paints from AP. Thanks for making this and thanks for continuing to be a positive force in the world of wargaming/mini painting. :)

Hey Gang, I'm a huge fan of the effort you put into this and how thorough your process was. As the North American distributor for Dirty Down, I would love to discuss the lengths you're going to create your effect. At conventions across North America I am always able to walk beginners and experts through the process in 2 minutes or less with no heat involved. My concerns: 1. You do not need heat to create the beautiful colors dirty down provides. Not on the bottle nor the model. Heat will only help with the mixing process and heat applied to dirty down will give an unreliable effect. 2. Do not put water in your pot. You mention in the video that at some point you stop getting an effect. This is why. So what steps do I recommend? 1. Mix thoroughly. 30 seconds on a vortex mixer OR scrape the bottom of the pot to free up the ball bearing and then hand shake for 2 minutes. A dark, sometimes glossy effect is the hallmark of an unmixed pot. 2. Wash onto a surface. Dirty down loves detail and texture. This is when you can dip your brush in water and stipple it into your wet dirty down. The water will help it flow into all the detail with the areas where the water settles being the brightest. 3. Dirty Down is semi-opaque so your base coat matters. I prefer darker tones or orangey browns and then bringing the metal in afterwards by stippling and or dry brushing. In the end, getting a good effect should be as simple as Mix -> wash. I'd love to talk more about your experiences. I appreciate all the work you do and the enthusiasm you bring to the hobby. - Goblin's Hut

Since you're in Australia you can get Dulux Rust Effect paint (pluss the activator) - for some reason I think Aus is the only place they sell the product. I got some off e bay that I guess the person had imported and then decanted into smaller pots which was more expensive than it ought to be.

I've played with DD rust, moss and verdigris for some time now. Combining my own experience with many guide videos - this one included - I came to the conclusion that in most cases it's just not worth it. Minding the price of the products and all the hoops you have to jump through in order to make it work, the payoff is simply not worth the effort for most mini paint jobs. And of course let's not forget that those paints reactivate with water, so if you're planning to play with your painted minis, those painstakingly created effects will rub off sooner or later. What about varnish then? That will affect the final finish and in the end you'll end up with something you could have achieved easier with acrylics anyway. I can see using those products for a display project such as a diorama or competition/display level mini, but for army painting or painting HQ units even to a high standard you can achieve fairly similar effects faster, cheaper and without all the hassle. For rust, slightly thinned Typhus Corrosion + Fuegan orange wash + Ryza Rust drybrush produces a decent effect for most needs and adding quite thinned bright orange for accents sells the final result quite convincingly. Verdigris is equally easy: slightly thinned down Typhus corrosion + Nihilakh Oxide thinned down with water at 2:3 rate produces amazing results over bronze metallics - add accents with heavily thinned down Gauss Blaster green and you're golden. As for moss, I don't have an alternative recipe because the DD product actually works well with minimal effort: heat up the bottle as you normally would, then apply a layer over a slightly damp surface and leave to dry. Then feather out the edges with a damp brush and for accents dab a damp brush gently where you want the green to be brighter and you're done. If I want texture, I use Typhus Corrosion first and then the moss over it when it's dry and get great results.
