Tamiya 87117 Diorama Texture Paint Khaki - Dry Grass Effect  [87117]

Texture Paint for Authentic Grass and Ground Cover

Scale modellers looking to add natural ground texture will value Tamiya's Diorama Texture Paint Grass Effect Khaki. This water-based product contains 5mm coloured fibres that simulate dry grass on diorama bases.

Recommended Workflow

For a convincing finish, lay the paint over a prepared soil texture like Tamiya item 87108. A single 100ml bottle will cover roughly a B4 area with one application, giving good coverage for scenic builds.

Product Notes and Use

• Color: Khaki
• Volume: 100ml
• Application: Best applied with a spatula or an old brush
• Mixing: Can be adjusted with other Tamiya acrylics for tone variation
• Cleaning: Water cleanable while wet

Do not use this texture paint in an airbrush because the fibres and paste consistency can block and harm the apparatus. It is formulated for manual texturing and sculpting.

Adding Depth with Paint Effects

Once dry, finish the textured surface with enamel washes or dry-brushing to introduce depth and contrast that bring the scene to life.
