Tamiya 87120 Powder Snow Effect Texture Paint  [87120]

Scale Snow Texture Using Tamiya 87120

Model makers aiming to recreate winter scenes can rely on Tamiya 87120 Diorama Texture Paint in Powder Snow Effect. The water-based paste gives a soft powdery snow look on models and scenic bases, and a 100ml bottle is sufficient to cover a B4 sheet with a single layer.

How to Work with the Paste

The paint contains small marble particles and a paste-like body, so spread it using a spatula or an old paintbrush to keep new bristles safe. Expect about 3-4 hours to dry in summer and 4-5 hours in cooler weather, which lets you adjust texture before it sets. Cleanup is simple with water while the paint is still wet, and there is no harsh smell during use.

Colour Adjustments and Limits

You can combine Tamiya 87120 with other Tamiya acrylics to alter the hue for varied snow effects, but do not attempt to use it through an airbrush because its texture will block the nozzle. The product is ideal for adding believable snowy accents to dioramas without complex tools.
