Texture Paint Vallejo Ammo Quake Crackle Creator Textures Baked Earth 40 ml

Vallejo Ammo Quake Crackle Creator Textures Baked Earth 40 ml is a ready-to-use texture paint formulated for scale models, dioramas and miniature basing. Its thick, crackling formula creates natural-looking dried ground and weathered surface effects that resemble baked or parched earth. The product is supplied in a 40 ml bottle and can be applied directly with a brush, spatula or sculpting tool; once fully dry it accepts standard acrylic paints and washes for further finishing.

Advantages

The paint produces controlled crackle patterns and granulated texture without the need for additives, saving preparation time and ensuring consistent results. Its water-based acrylic composition dries to a stable, paintable surface, allowing overpainting and shading to achieve realistic terrain tones. The packaging in a compact 40 ml bottle is convenient for small projects and hobby use, and the ready-to-use consistency reduces setup complexity.

Suitable for

• Scale model bases and plinths
• Diorama ground, desert and arid terrain effects
• Miniature basing for wargaming and display figures
• Weathering and scenic texture on architectural or ruined scenes

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform consistency. Apply a layer of the texture paint directly from the bottle using a brush, spatula or sculpting tool to the area to be textured. Work the material to achieve the desired crackle and surface variation; thicker applications will yield more pronounced cracks. Allow the texture to dry fully according to ambient conditions before applying acrylic paints, washes or drybrushing for color and shading.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the product on a spare piece to determine preferred application thickness and drying time. Use thin layers for subtle surface detail and thicker layers where deep cracking is required. After curing, seal finished areas with an appropriate matte or satin varnish to protect the painted texture.
