Skeletons, undead armies, bone details and weathered scenery — Skeleton Bone is a brilliant shortcut when your project needs plenty of pale, earthy tones. Instead of painstakingly basecoating every miniature by hand, you can start with the right colour straight from the spray can and get on with the fun part.

Application Tips

Shake the can thoroughly for one minute before use. Spray from approximately 15–20cm away, using several thin coats rather than one heavy application. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next, and test on a spare model or piece of sprue first.

Once dry, try applying a brown wash to bring out the recesses, followed by a light bone-coloured drybrush to pick out raised details. It's a simple way to get a convincing bone finish without spending hours painting every surface by hand.

Please note: This is a pressurised, highly flammable aerosol. Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, follow the safety instructions on the can, and check delivery restrictions before ordering.
