Tamiya 87120 Diorama Powder Snow Texture Paint  [87120]

Authentic Snow Texture from Tamiya 87120

Scale modellers seeking a believable snow finish can use Tamiya 87120 Diorama Texture Paint in Powder Snow Effect. This water-based paste recreates light, powdery snow on models and scenic bases, and one 100ml bottle will cover an area about the size of a B4 sheet in a single pass.

Workflows and Drying Times

Because the paint has a paste consistency with marble particles, apply it with a spatula or an old brush to protect fine bristles. Allow roughly 3-4 hours to dry in warm conditions and 4-5 hours in cooler conditions, giving time to shape or feather the texture before it sets. The water-cleanable formula also keeps fumes low during use.

Colour Blending and Use Advice

Tamiya 87120 can be mixed with other Tamiya acrylics to achieve subtle tints for dirtied or compacted snow looks. It is unsuitable for airbrush use as the texture may clog equipment, but it is straightforward to apply by hand for diorama detailing.
