Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM) - Ancient Copper Paint Set

Weathered Realism: The Complete 4-Step Aged Copper System

Capture the timeless, weathered character of forgotten relics and ancient machinery with the Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM) Ancient Copper Paint Set. This premium boxed set features a stunning reddish metallic tone packed with an aged, historical personality. It is the definitive choice for painting worn metals, steam-powered contraptions, antique sci-fi armor, fantasy relics, or for adding a rich, complementary warmth alongside your golds.

Don't ruin a fantastic copper finish by shading it with generic blacks or browns that dull its unique metallic sheen. This set provides Vallejo's complete, chromatically matched 4-bottle system. From a smooth, airbrushed foundation to the final shimmering edge highlight, your copper surfaces will look incredibly deep, cohesive, and realistically weathered.

What’s Inside the Box

This box set contains four full-sized 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz dropper bottles, mapping out the complete True Metallic Metal system:

  • 77.124 Ancient Copper (Base): Your high-coverage, ultra-smooth foundation. Features superior self-leveling properties that erase brush strokes, leaving behind a rich, reddish-copper finish with a scale-appropriate shine.
  • 77.164 Ancient Copper (Airbrush): Pre-thinned with the ideal viscosity to flow beautifully right out of the bottle for fast, smooth army basecoating and seamless volumetric airbrush gradients.
  • 77.144 Ancient Copper (Shade): A richly pigmented, non-metallic satin wash designed to glide into the recesses, creating deep, natural shadows that enhance the aged character without muddying the metallic luster.
  • 77.104 Ancient Copper (Light): A highly luminous, ultra-fine highlight paint engineered for sharp edge highlights and catching bright reflections on worn corners.

Pro Artist Tip: To truly lean into the "aged relic" look, use the Airbrush or Base paint to coat your armor or pipes, and recess-shade with the Shade bottle. Once dry, you can selectively apply a highly diluted turquoise or verdigris wash into a few deep creases to simulate oxidized copper. Finally, come back with the Light paint for a crisp edge highlight—the contrast between the dull oxidation, deep shadows, and bright copper edges is breathtaking!

Stop settling for flat, uninspired copper tones. Give your steampunk machinery, forgotten relics, and battle-worn armor the rich, historical weight they deserve with the Vallejo True Metallic Metal Ancient Copper Set.
