About product

Tamiya Diorama Texture Paint, Soil Effect Dark Earth

A medium for building terrain. It is not a conventional paint but a thick paste containing resin particles, which colors the surface and creates its texture at the same time. The Dark Earth shade matches the dark soils typical of central and western Europe. The container holds 250 ml and, according to the manufacturer, covers a B4 sized area in about two and a half coats. The binder is water-thinnable and drying takes around four to five hours. The maker is Tamiya of Japan.

Use

  • Spread the paste with a spatula or an old brush straight onto a base of wood, plastic or polystyrene
  • Shape the texture while the material is still pliable - ruts, furrows, uneven ground
  • For a finer, well-trodden surface spread the material thin; for churned-up ground leave it coarser
  • The paste can be thinned with water, but that lowers the height of the texture
  • Press static grass, grit or track marks from the model into the coat while it is still wet

What to watch out for

The paste contains solid particles and does not belong in an airbrush - it would damage the needle and the nozzle. Always apply it by hand, then. The drying time of four to five hours applies to a thin coat; a heavier layer needs considerably longer and can stay damp at its core, so it is better to build terrain up in layers. Once fully dry, the surface takes further modeling work: bring the hollows out with an enamel wash, the raised edges with a dry brush in a lighter shade, and add variations in color with pigments. Close the container carefully after use, as an open paste sets at the rim.

Who it is for

For builders of dioramas and display bases for military and civilian vehicles, for figure painters who need quick, believable terrain, and for modelers looking for a simple solution without mixing plaster and sand.

Read the information on the packaging before use. Work in a ventilated space and avoid contact with the eyes. Keep out of the reach of children and protect from frost.

FAQ

You cannot. It contains resin particles that will damage the needle and the nozzle. It is spread with a spatula or a brush.

Water. Thinning lowers the height of the texture, though, so for pronounced terrain apply the paste unthinned.

The manufacturer states roughly four to five hours. A heavier layer needs considerably longer, which is why it is better to build terrain up in layers.

Yes. Once fully dry it suits an enamel wash in the hollows, a dry brush on the edges and pigments for variations in color.
