AMMO Mig Shaders – Fast Shading & Tonal Variation for Scale Models
AMMO Mig Shaders from Ammo Mig are precision weathering tools designed to add depth, shading, fading, and color variation to scale models quickly and cleanly. Shaders are perfect for breaking up flat finishes, enhancing panel detail, and simulating sun fade, grime buildup, and subtle wear.
Ideal for model railroads, armor, aircraft, vehicles, and dioramas, AMMO Shaders allow you to create realistic tonal shifts without complex mixing or heavy layering—making them one of the fastest ways to improve realism.
Why Use AMMO Mig Shaders?
Instant depth: Quickly enhance panels, edges, and recessed areas.
Controlled fading: Simulate sun-bleached paint and uneven wear.
Easy application: Brush or airbrush friendly with predictable results.
Layer-safe: Designed to work with AMMO paints and weathering systems.
Scale-correct: Subtle effects that won’t overpower fine detail.
Where Shaders Fit in the AMMO Workflow
Shaders are most effective after your base color and before heavy weathering. They help create visual interest and variation so later effects look more natural.
Railroad modelers use AMMO Mig Shaders to fade freight car panels, darken roof edges, tone down bright colors, and add depth to locomotives without heavy buildup. When paired with AMMO Mig Rail Center , shaders help unify entire fleets with consistent, realistic variation.
Shaders are used to add depth, shading, fading, and tonal variation to painted surfaces, helping break up flat colors and enhance realism.
Are shaders paints, washes, or filters?
Shaders are a dedicated shading product designed to sit between base paint and heavier weathering. They’re more targeted than filters and less concentrated than washes.
Can AMMO Mig Shaders be brushed or airbrushed?
Yes. Shaders can be applied with a brush for targeted shading or lightly airbrushed for smooth, overall tonal variation.
Do shaders work on model trains?
Absolutely. Shaders are widely used on locomotives, freight cars, passenger equipment, and structures to simulate sun fade, grime buildup, and uneven paint aging.
Should shaders be sealed?
Yes. Once you’re happy with the effect, sealing with AMMO Lucky Varnish helps protect the finish and prepares the surface for additional weathering if needed.
Browse the collection below to explore AMMO Mig Shaders and add fast, controlled realism to your next project. Whether you’re weathering a single model or an entire fleet, shaders help you get there efficiently.
