What it is used for
Middle Stone is a reference colour in military vehicle and figure modelling. Its intermediate sand tone makes it a versatile base or main coat for a wide range of projects:
- Painting the base colour of desert armoured vehicles (Afrika Korps, Israeli Army, Middle Eastern forces)
- Finishing coats and colour modulation on tanks and vehicles at 1/35, 1/72, and 1/48 scales
- Uniforms and equipment on military figures in wargame miniatures
- Dioramas with arid or desert settings: ground, rocks, structures
- Mixing with other colours from the Standard range to create smooth transitions in shading and highlights
- Cosplay and SFX applications where sand or tanned skin tones are needed
How to use it
- Surface preparation: Make sure the piece is clean, dry, and primed. A grey or sand-coloured primer improves adhesion and the final result of Middle Stone.
- Shake well: Shake the bottle for at least 30 seconds before opening. The high pigmentation of the Standard range requires thorough mixing.
- Thinning: For brush application, use it straight or thin it with distilled water by 10–20%. For airbrush, thin it until you achieve the right consistency for the pressure you are using (typically a 0.15–0.2 mm needle).
- Application: Apply in thin coats, allowing each one to dry before the next. Middle Stone covers well in 2–3 coats. Avoid thick coats that may obscure the detail of the piece.
- Drying: Touch-dry time is approximately 15–30 minutes. Full cure is reached in 24 hours.
- Cleaning: Clean your brush or airbrush with water and soap immediately after use. If the paint has started to dry in the airbrush, use isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the residue.
Usage tips
How to get the most out of the Middle Stone tone
Middle Stone works wonderfully as a base for colour modulation techniques. Add a few drops of white or yellow from the Standard range to lighten the highlight areas, and mix with dark brown for the shadows. This gives you a natural transition without needing intermediate varnish coats.
Airbrush use on large surfaces
If you are going to cover large surfaces such as a tank hull, thin Middle Stone by 30–40% with distilled water and work in cross passes at low pressure (10–15 PSI). This reduces airbrush marks and gives a more even finish before moving on to weathering and chipping effects.
Integration with AK Interactive effect products
Middle Stone integrates perfectly with AK Interactive's effect fluids, washes, and pigment powders. Apply a dark brown wash over the dry Middle Stone coat to highlight rivets and joins, and finish with sand pigments to realistically simulate desert dust.
Frequently asked questions
Is this paint suitable for airbrush?
Yes. Middle Stone (AK11124) from the Standard range is formulated for use with both brush and airbrush. For airbrush, thin it with distilled water until you reach the right viscosity, generally between 20 and 40% depending on the needle and pressure you use.
Do I need a primer before applying this paint?
It is highly recommended. Although Middle Stone has good adhesion, a primer coat ensures the colour settles uniformly and durably, especially on plastic, resin, or white metal. AK Interactive offers specific spray primers for every need.
How long does this acrylic paint take to dry?
Middle Stone becomes touch-dry in around 15–30 minutes under normal temperature and humidity conditions. For a full cure that allows washes or varnishes to be applied without risk of reactivating the lower coat, wait at least 24 hours.
What should I use to clean my tools after using this paint?
As it is a water-based acrylic paint, simply clean brushes and airbrushes with water and soap immediately after use. If the paint has dried in the airbrush, isopropyl alcohol effectively dissolves the residue.
Can this paint be mixed with other colours from the same range?
No problem at all. Middle Stone mixes perfectly with any colour from the AK Interactive Standard range and also with the rest of the brand's water-based acrylics. This lets you create custom tones for colour modulation, transitions, or weathering effects.
