Product Information
Full details
Citadel Base Paint in Stegadon Scale Green is an essential tool for hobbyists and miniature painters looking to achieve a professional, opaque foundation on their models. Designed for use on plastic, metal, and resin, this high-pigment acrylic paint provides excellent coverage in a single layer, though users should be careful to thin the paint slightly with water to avoid obscuring fine details.

FAQs
Do I need to prime my miniature before using Citadel Base paints?
Yes, using a primer ensures the paint adheres properly to the surface of the plastic, metal, or resin.
Can I thin this paint with water?
Yes, it is a water-based acrylic and can be thinned with a small amount of water to improve flow.
Is Stegadon Scale Green suitable for airbrushing?
It can be airbrushed if thinned significantly with an airbrush thinner, though it is primarily designed for brush application.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the layer and environmental humidity.
How should I store these paints?
Store in a cool, upright position with the lids firmly snapped shut.
Troubleshooting
Paint is clumpy or thick
Add a tiny amount of water or thinning medium to the paint on your palette and stir thoroughly.
Paint is streaky during application
Allow the first layer to dry completely before applying a second thin layer, rather than pushing the paint while it is still wet.
Lid is stuck or dried shut
Soak the lid area in warm water for a few minutes to soften dried acrylic buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent opacity reduces the need for multiple coats
- Dries to a smooth, non-reflective matte finish
- Works perfectly with both light and dark primers
- Non-toxic and water-based for easy cleanup
Cons
- Requires careful thinning to prevent thick buildup
- Standard 12ml pot can dry out if the lid is not sealed tightly
- Specific to Citadel's color range, limiting mixing options
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure your miniature is properly primed with a Citadel spray primer for optimal adhesion. Always shake the pot vigorously before opening to ensure the pigment is evenly suspended. If the paint appears too thick, add a single drop of water or a dedicated thinning medium. After painting, clean your brushes immediately with water to prevent acrylic build-up in the bristles. Store the pots in a cool, dry place and always press the lid firmly until you hear a 'click' to prevent the paint from dehydrating.
