What it is used for
Green Ocher is a versatile colour with a blend of yellow, green and earth tones that appears frequently on military equipment, uniforms, dry vegetation and arid terrain. Its coverage is solid and can be nuanced with wash layers or filters to add depth.
- Base coat and colour layers on World War II and modern conflict military vehicles
- Uniforms on scale military figures
- Dry vegetation, burnt grass and terrain in dioramas
- Wargame miniatures with historical or fantasy themes
- Rust and weathering effects as an intermediate layer
- Cosplay pieces and SFX props with a worn or military look
How to use it
- Surface preparation: apply a suitable primer (grey, black or brown depending on the result you want) and allow it to dry completely before painting.
- Thinning: for brush use, apply the paint straight from the pot or thin it 10–20% with distilled water or acrylic thinner. For airbrush, thin until you reach a milk-like consistency, usually 20–40%.
- Application: apply in thin, even coats. Two or three coats will give you full coverage. Allow each coat to dry between applications (10–15 minutes at room temperature).
- Finishing: once dry, you can apply washes, filters or pigments to weather the piece. Protect the final result with a matte, satin or gloss varnish depending on the desired finish.
- Cleaning: clean your brush or airbrush with water and soap while the paint is still wet. If it has already dried, use an acrylic thinner.
Tips and tricks
Shake the pot well before use
Highly pigmented acrylic paints tend to settle. Shake the pot for at least 30 seconds before opening, or use a mixing stick to stir the pigment thoroughly and achieve a consistent colour from the very first brushstroke.
Use Green Ocher as a starting point for mixes
The tone of Green Ocher works especially well mixed with earth colours for shadow areas, or lightened with creams and yellows for highlights using zenithal lighting techniques. It is also an excellent base over which to apply dust and earth pigments for dirt effects on vehicles and dioramas.
Controlling the final finish
The finish of this paint can vary slightly depending on the number of coats and the thinning ratio used. For a uniform matte result, apply a final coat of matte varnish once all the paint is dry. If you are applying transfers or decals, use a satin or gloss varnish first to prevent the silvering effect.
Frequently asked questions
Does the paint need to be thinned before using it with an airbrush?
Yes. For airbrush use, Green Ocher (AK11122) should be thinned with distilled water or acrylic thinner until you achieve a fluid, milk-like consistency. A thinning ratio of between 20 and 40% is usually sufficient, although this depends on the type of airbrush and working pressure.
Is it compatible with spray primers?
Yes. Green Ocher is fully compatible with AK Interactive spray primers. For this tone, a dark grey or earth-coloured primer can help enhance the depth of the final colour.
Can this paint be used directly on plastic without priming?
Although the paint will technically adhere to plastic without a primer, it is not recommended. Priming the surface improves adhesion, prevents peeling and allows colours like Green Ocher to show their full coverage and colour accuracy.
How long does it take to dry?
At room temperature, Green Ocher is touch-dry in approximately 10–15 minutes. For full curing before applying washes or varnishes, it is advisable to wait between 30 minutes and one hour. Drying can be accelerated with a warm-air hairdryer on a low setting.
Where can I buy this paint in Spain?
Green Ocher AK11122 is available at Feroca, the official AK Interactive distributor in Spain. You can purchase it directly from the Feroca online shop with shipping throughout mainland Spain.
Is it suitable for painting wargame miniatures?
Yes. The high pigmentation of Green Ocher makes it very well suited to wargame miniatures, where solid coverage on small surfaces with few coats is essential. It works well both as a base colour and in shading and highlighting layers when mixed with other tones from the AK Interactive Standard range.
