Build dark soil surfaces for dioramas with Tamiya Dark Earth Texture Paint. The water-based paste contains resin particles, can fill small gaps, and can be shaped before it sets.
Apply with a spatula or an old brush. Thin and clean up with water before drying. Do not spray through an airbrush. Colors can be adjusted with Tamiya acrylics, and the dry surface can receive enamel washes or dry brushing.
The 100ml bottle covers approximately 250 × 353mm in one coat. Allow about 4–5 hours to dry.
