Tamiya 87111 Texture Paint - Grass Green for Scenic Modeling  [87111]

Transform Your Diorama with Tamiya Grass Green Texture Paint

Tamiya 87111 Texture Paint in Grass Green offers an ideal solution for hobbyists looking to add realistic grassy surfaces to their dioramas. This water-based paint features a unique paste-like texture with 5mm long colored fibers, perfect for simulating grass. The paint is designed to be applied over a base layer of Diorama Texture Paint (Soil Effect) for the most authentic look.

Application and Usage Tips

Each 40ml bottle of this texture paint is sufficient to cover a B4-sized area with a single coat. The drying time varies by season, taking approximately 3-4 hours in summer and 4-5 hours in winter. Since the paint is water-based, it emits minimal odor and can be easily cleaned with water before it dries. For application, it is recommended to use a spatula or an old paintbrush to avoid damaging new brush bristles.

Customization and Compatibility

For those looking to experiment with different shades, this texture paint can be mixed with other Tamiya acrylic paints. Additionally, enamel paints can be used for washing and dry brushing techniques over the textured surface to enhance the visual effect. However, it is important to note that this paint is not intended for use with airbrushes as it may cause damage.

Important Considerations

While this paint effectively simulates grassy surfaces, it does not depict individual blades of grass. Users should be mindful of this when planning their diorama designs. Furthermore, the paint's water-based composition ensures easy cleanup and minimal odor, making it a convenient option for indoor use.
