Tamiya 87111 Texture Paint in Grass Green is a water-based paste formulation that includes 5mm long coloured fibres to recreate grassy ground on scale layouts. For optimal results apply it on top of Diorama Texture Paint (Soil Effect) to build realistic terrain depth.
A single 40ml bottle covers approximately a B4 area when applied in one coat. Drying depends on ambient conditions, commonly 3-4 hours in warmer settings and about 4-5 hours in cooler settings. The low-odour, water-based mix is easy to clean from tools before it sets. Use a spatula or an older brush to spread the texture without damaging fine new bristles.
You can alter the hue slightly by blending in small amounts of Tamiya acrylics. After the texture cures, enamel washes and subtle dry brushing will bring out highlights and shadow. This product should not be used with an airbrush as the fibres and paste can block and damage the equipment.
The texture paint simulates a grassy carpet rather than separate blades, so include that effect in your scenic planning. Its water-based character keeps handling neat and suitable for indoor modelling tables.
