Add realistic age and character to your hobby projects with Vallejo Crackle Medium. This specialised acrylic medium creates authentic crackled surfaces that mimic decades of natural weathering, making it ideal for ruined buildings, ancient armour, worn vehicles, cracked masonry, and distressed painted surfaces.

Applied between two coats of paint, the medium causes the upper paint layer to separate as it dries, revealing the underlying colour through a network of natural-looking cracks. It can also be used as a final transparent coat to create subtle crackled finishes while preserving the colour beneath.

The size and appearance of the cracks can be influenced by the thickness of the application and drying conditions, allowing hobbyists to create a wide variety of weathering effects ranging from fine hairline fractures to dramatic peeling surfaces.

Suitable for use on miniatures, terrain pieces, scale models, dioramas, and mixed media projects, Vallejo Crackle Medium is an excellent addition to any modeller's collection of weathering products.
