Realistic Grainy Texture for Scale Modelling

The Tamiya 87110 Texture Paint in Light Sand is designed to reproduce genuine sandy surfaces for dioramas and scale bases. Supplied in a 40ml jar, this water-based formula creates a tactile gritty coat suitable for desert scenes and terrain detailing.

Why Use Tamiya Texture Paint

  • Water-Based Formula: The paste contains ceramic granules that form an authentic rough texture after curing.
  • Coverage: A single 40ml bottle will cover a B4 sized area when applied in two coats.
  • Drying Time: Expect around 3-4 hours in warmer conditions and 4-5 hours in colder ones.
  • Mixability: Blend with other Tamiya acrylics to fine tune colour tones.
  • Clean-Up: Remove uncured material easily with water.

Best Practices for Application

Use a spatula or an old brush to lay down the texture to avoid damaging new brushes. The product should not be sprayed through an airbrush due to the particulate content. When dry, use enamel washes and dry brushing to accentuate contours and highlights.

Yes, once cured you can overpaint with acrylics or enamels. Prime or seal if you need extra adhesion for certain finishes.
It is fine for bases and terrain elements; avoid applying heavy texture directly to delicate miniature parts that require fine detail.
Layer thin washes of different earth tones and use dry brushing to pick out raised grains, creating natural variation without altering texture.
