Realistic Desert Ground with Tamiya 87122

Tamiya 87122 Diorama Texture Paint is made to give model builders a convincing sandy surface for display scenes. This water based paint includes coloured ceramic particles that create a fine sand grit look reminiscent of arid landscapes.

Coverage Rate and Application Notes

The 250ml container will cover about a B4 area when applied in roughly 2.5 light coats, which suits larger terrain sections. Allow approximately 4-5 hours drying time between coats so the texture firms up before any further detailing.

Recommended Uses for Modelers

Perfect for vehicle bases, figure displays and desert dioramas, the light sand effect enhances realism and helps subsequent weathering layers integrate more naturally with the ground surface.

Will the paint accept washes and pigments?

Yes, once the texture paint is fully dry you can use washes, weathering powders and pastels to tone and shade the surface for a more natural appearance.

Is an airbrush suitable for this paint?

This product is intended for brush or tool application to retain grit. Airbrushing will remove most of the texture and is not recommended for primary application.

How should I prepare the base before applying?

Ensure the base is clean and any primers or base paints are fully dry. Lightly roughen very smooth surfaces to improve mechanical adhesion of the texture paint.

Can I mix this with other texture products?

Mixing with other water based texture media is possible but will change the final grit and colour. Try small test mixes to get the result you want.

What is the best way to finish the textured surface?

After full cure, seal with a compatible clear coat if you need extra durability; otherwise apply pigments and washes to integrate the ground into the scene.
