VALLEJO Diorama FX Landscape Textures Arid Yellow 2–5 mm - 26.315

VALLEJO Diorama FX Landscape Textures Arid Yellow 2–5 mm provides coarse granular material for recreating dry ground, desert floors and arid terrain on dioramas, scale models and gaming boards. The 2–5 mm grain size delivers a pronounced, natural-looking texture that can be fixed with glue or acrylic medium and painted over for further weathering and detailing. This ready-to-use scenic material is intended for hobbyists and modelmakers seeking an authentic sandy or sun-baked appearance on miniature landscapes.

Advantages

This landscape texture features a uniform 2–5 mm grain size that produces consistent results when applied to bases and terrain boards. It bonds well when mixed with PVA glue or acrylic mediums and accepts acrylic paints and washes for realistic color variation. The arid yellow tone is formulated to represent sun-dried soil and sand without additional tinting, and the coarse particles maintain structure under light handling and scenic sealing.

Suitable for

• Base coating and terrain basing for scale models and miniatures
• Desert and arid diorama surfaces
• Wargaming boards and terrain tiles
• Model railway dry landscape scenes

Key specifications

• Grain size: 2–5 mm for coarse texture
• Color: arid yellow, suitable for sun-dried soil effects
• Material type: scenic granular texture for hobby use
• Compatibility: adheres to PVA glue and acrylic mediums; paintable with acrylic paints
• Form: dry, loose granules for mixing or direct application

How to use

Apply a layer of PVA glue or an acrylic medium to the surface of the base or terrain where texture is required. Sprinkle or press the granules into the wet adhesive to achieve even coverage; remove excess granules once the adhesive has cured. After the texture is fixed and fully dry, prime and paint using acrylic paints, washes or drybrushing techniques to create depth and weathered effects. For stronger adhesion or a sealed finish, apply a diluted PVA or matte varnish over the painted texture.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine this material with finer scenic products (such as sand or fine turf) to blend transitions between coarse areas and smoother surfaces; test color effects on a sample base before final application. Use gloves and a dust mask when handling dry granules to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
