AK Interactive Gouaches Dark Earth 20ml. (AKG05)

Tabletop Xtra

£3.56

AK Interactive's Dark Earth gouache is the workhorse tone for grounding a model in real dirt — a deep, slightly warm brown that reads as freshly turned soil rather than dust. Being a water-based gouache rather than a pigment or enamel wash, it stays wet and mobile on the surface for longer, so you can feather it, streak it or wipe it back before it sets. Best for Muddy lower hulls, tracks and running gear Soil and dirt buildup on bases Streaking and staining over washes and pigments Work it thin and build in passes — gouache rewards patience, and a couple of light coats will always look more c

Buy from TABLETOP XTRA LTDTABLETOP XTRA LTD is a UK retailer, not the maker. Price seen 2026-09-26. Not an affiliate link, we earn nothing from it.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as TABLETOP XTRA LTD, number 15791544. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
