Textures of earth and sand formulated with permanent pigments, microparticles and acrylic resin. This slightly gritty base can be applied with a brush or, painting knife and is perfect for all surfaces and terrains of dioramas. The products can be shaped before drying to achieve low relief textures such as truck and tank tracks, and they can be mixed with all other products of this range. If a less structured surface is required, the textures can be thinned down with water (20% to 40%).

Mixing Vallejo textured paste references (26.214 - Black Lava), (26.217 - Desert Sand) & (26.219 - Brown Earth), or adding pigments or Model Air references, you can depict easily wet mud or dry mud textures, over a vehicle or diorama terrain...
1. You can randomly mix the reference searching for the desired tone with a hard bristle brush
2. They can be so thick as you want, just adding some drops of water
3. You can apply the mix over the bottom of vehicle, running gears and tracks.
4. Just a detail: remember the mud have a 'sense' on the belly of vehicle, rubbing over ground surfaces like stones or grass.
5. You can change too the hue of mix and thickness adding some Vallejo pigments references, or can do a wet effect adding some drops of gloss varnish.
