VALLEJO Ammo Wargaming Universe 11 — Create Your Own Rocks terrain basing set

VALLEJO Ammo Wargaming Universe 11 — Create Your Own Rocks is a basing set intended for modelers and tabletop gamers who want to produce realistic stone textures and small rock formations for miniatures, dioramas and game boards. The kit supplies a selection of pigments, textured materials and finishing components to simulate natural rock surfaces and integrate them with other scenery elements. It is designed to work with standard hobby glues and varnishes and to adapt to a variety of painting techniques used in wargaming basing and terrain making.

Advantages

The set combines pigments and texturing media chosen to reproduce the color variation and granular structure of stone without requiring separate purchases of multiple products. Materials in the kit are formulated for easy mixing, adhesion to common basing substrates and compatibility with acrylic paints. Its components reduce preparation time by providing pre-selected tones and textures while remaining flexible for custom color blending and additional weathering.

Suitable for

• Creating rocky scenic bases for miniatures
• Adding rock outcrops and rubble to dioramas
• Enhancing wargame terrains and objective markers
• Mixing custom pigments and textures for basing blends

Key specifications

• Contents: pigments, textured media and finishing components designed for terrain basing
• Compatibility: designed to work with acrylic hobby paints and common hobby glues and varnishes
• Texture types: fine and coarse granular materials for realistic stone surfaces
• Usage: suitable for application on foam, plastic, resin and standard model bases

How to use

Apply an adhesive layer to the base or surface to receive the materials, then place textured media where rock formations are desired. Use the included pigments mixed with a binder or acrylic medium to paint and shade the textured areas, applying washes and drybrushing to bring out details. After pigments and paints are fully dry, seal the work with an appropriate varnish or matte finish to protect the surface and ensure long-term adhesion of the basing materials.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test pigment mixes and adhesion on a scrap surface before applying to finished miniatures; allow each layer to dry thoroughly between steps and use thin, controlled applications of varnish to preserve surface detail.
