Tamiya 87116 Light Gray Diorama Texture Paint Pavement Effect  [87116]

Realistic Pavement Effects with Tamiya 87116

Hobbyists aiming for convincing street or concrete scenes can use the Tamiya 87116 Diorama Texture Paint in Light Gray to reproduce rough stone and pavement surfaces. Its formulation is suited to scenic modelling work.

Main Characteristics and Use

The paint is supplied in a 100ml bottle and has a dense, paste-like texture packed with ceramic particles to form a coarse surface. It is water-thinnable when wet and can be cleaned up with water before it sets.

Techniques for Best Results

Apply with a spatula, palette knife, or worn brush to protect good bristles from abrasion. You can tint this base by mixing in small amounts of other Tamiya acrylics, and finish with enamel washing or dry brushing to bring out detail.

Compatibility and Care

Do not use with an airbrush because the ceramic grit will damage fine nozzles. Manual application will preserve both the finish and your equipment.
