Build Lifelike Grass Texture for Models

Hobbyists aiming for convincing ground cover will find Tamiya's Diorama Texture Paint in Grass Effect Khaki very useful. The water-based formulation includes 5mm coloured fibres to recreate the look of dry grass on diorama layouts.

Surface Prep and Application Tips

Apply over a base layer like the Tamiya soil texture (item 87108) for a natural transition. One 100ml bottle can cover about a B4 surface with a single pass, making it practical for medium sized scenes.

Practical Features

  • Color: Khaki
  • Volume: 100ml
  • Application: Use a spatula or worn brush to place the paste
  • Mixing: Can be mixed with other Tamiya acrylics to adjust tone
  • Cleaning: Wash up with water before the paste cures

This product is not suitable for airbrush use because the fibred paste will block nozzles. Its consistency is intended for manual spreading and texture work.

Finish Work and Detailing

Enhance the dried texture by applying enamel washes or careful dry-brushing to pick out highlights and deepen shadows for a more dimensional scene.

The paint is intended for indoor display models; if used outdoors you should seal the finished surface with a suitable clear coat to protect fibres.
Yes. Mix small amounts of Tamiya acrylics into the paste to subtly alter colour, testing on scrap to check fibre appearance before applying to your scene.
Sanding is usually unnecessary unless you want a very smooth base; texture is best kept intact for realistic grass effect.
Close the cap tightly and store in a cool, dry place to slow skinning. For longer storage, transfer to an airtight container to reduce air exposure.
