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