Realistic Ground Effects Using Tamiya 87221

Scale modellers and RC builders can achieve convincing earthwork by using the Tamiya 87221 Soil Effect: Brown (Diorama Texture Clay). This water-based clay produces realistic surface detail, with natural bumps and hollows suited to scales such as 1/12 to 1/48.

Working with the Texture Clay

The Tamiya 87221 material is simple to apply and keeps cleanup to a minimum, emitting little smell and not heavily staining skin. One package covers roughly a B5 base at 5mm thickness, making it useful for roads, fields or diorama foundations.

After full drying, both acrylic and enamel paints adhere well. Oils can be used but require longer drying times between coats.
Minor adjustments are possible with sanding or careful scraping, but deep reshaping is best done before the clay fully sets.
Coverage is around a B5 area at 5mm depth per pack, so you can split a pack across several small bases, though larger scenes will need additional packs.
