For hobbyists building urban and diorama bases, the Tamiya 87116 Diorama Texture Paint in Light Gray reproduces concrete and stone surfaces convincingly. Its water-based mix is tailored for model scenery and terrain work.
This product comes in a 100ml container and has a thick, paste consistency containing ceramic granules that form a raised, textured surface. The formula is low-odor and can be cleaned away with water before it fully sets.
Because of its density, apply the Tamiya 87116 using a spatula or a worn brush to avoid ruining new brushes. You can blend small amounts with other Tamiya acrylics for custom shades and finish with enamel washes or dry brushing for weathered effects.
Avoid airbrushing this material; the ceramic particles will block and wear airbrush components. Stick to hand application for the best textured pavement results.
