Textured Sand Finish with Tamiya 87122

The Tamiya 87122 Diorama Texture Paint has been developed to give model makers a convincing sandy surface for display scenes. Its water based composition contains tiny coloured ceramic granules that form a realistic light sand grit texture suitable for desert style bases.

How Much Area and How to Apply

A 250ml bottle will typically cover a B4 area using around 2.5 thin coats, so it is a practical choice for larger diorama bases. Expect a 4-5 hour drying window between coats so you can tidy edges and blend transitions while the texture cures.

Practical Modelling Uses

Use this paint on vehicle display boards, infantry bases or any diorama that needs authentic sandy ground. The textured finish helps weathering products and pastel pigments adhere and look more natural.

How fast does the texture paint dry?

Under usual indoor conditions the paint sets in about 4-5 hours, though humidity and coat thickness will affect cure time.

Is it safe to layer weathering products on top?

Yes. Once fully dry you can apply washes, pigments and drybrushing over the textured surface to enhance realism.

Can I thin this paint for a smoother coat?

The product is intended for texture application and thinning will reduce grit. If experimenting, test small amounts first and expect a less pronounced texture when diluted.

How should I store unused paint?

Keep the bottle sealed and stored upright in a cool, dry place. Stir thoroughly before reuse to redistribute ceramic particles evenly.
