VALLEJO Diorama FX Landscape Textures Alkaline White 1–2 mm - 26.302

VALLEJO Diorama FX Landscape Textures Alkaline White 1–2 mm is a ready-to-use granular texture medium formulated for dioramas and scale models. The medium contains visible 1–2 mm alkaline-white particles that provide realistic ground textures for terrain, pathways and rocky details. It can be applied directly from the container and combines with PVA or acrylic adhesives; once fully dry it accepts paint and further weathering for natural scenery effects.

Advantages

This granular texture medium is premixed for immediate use and ensures consistent particle distribution across surfaces. The 1–2 mm grain size offers clear, three-dimensional relief without additional aggregates, while the alkaline white color provides a neutral base that can be easily tinted with paints. The formulation bonds well when used with common modeling adhesives and allows overpainting, sealing and dry-brushing for layered finishing techniques.

Suitable for

• Creating realistic ground and soil textures on dioramas and scale model bases
• Building pathways, gravel roads and small rocky outcrops
• Adding tactile surface detail to military, railway and architectural models
• Preparing bases for subsequent painting, washes and weathering

Key specifications

• Grain size: 1–2 mm visible particles
• Color: alkaline white (neutral base tone)
• Form: ready-to-use granular texture medium
• Compatibility: suitable for use with PVA and acrylic adhesives and most model paints once dry
• Application thickness: can be applied in thin layers for light texture or thicker layers for pronounced relief

How to use

Prepare the model base by ensuring the surface is clean and free of loose dust. Apply a layer of PVA or acrylic adhesive to the area to be textured, then spread the Diorama FX Landscape Textures with a spatula, brush or fingertip to achieve the desired relief. Allow the medium to dry completely—drying time varies with layer thickness and ambient conditions—then remove any loose particles. Once dry, paint and finish with acrylics, washes or pigments to achieve the intended scenery look.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the product on a scrap piece to determine optimal adhesive amount and drying time. Use thinner layers for subtle texture and build up multiple layers for deeper relief. Seal finished areas with a matte or satin varnish to protect painted surfaces and preserve texture.
