Vallejo - Diorama FX Earth Textures | Dark Earth 200 ml (6.76 fl.oz.) | Premium Acrylic Color For Modelers & Miniature Enthusiasts

It’s a great product for basing minis. It has a good gritty texture, and is thin enough to spread easily without clumping up. I’ve used these Vallejo products for years, and like all their products, it’s good stuff.

You get soo much more for your money than you do with citadel/games workshop. Highly recommend Vallejo basing. Easy to paint over as well once it dries. I’d maybe give atleast 4 hours to dry out.

This mud is the first thing I put on my model bases. It can be primed and painted easily. I've had one container for over 2 years and it is still fresh and high quality. This stuff is easy to use and works well for its task.

The color dries matte. It sticks well. It takes paint well. The grain of the Vallejo dark earth gel is finer than you're likely to get if you make your own texture paint which means the texture is actually in scale. You also get a ton for your money. I'm not sure I'll live long enough to need to buy a second tub unless I take up commission painting. This is a hard product to beat.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Way better than trying to glue sand or gravel to plastic, sticks well to bases and is easy to drybrush then varnish. Didn't bother painting or priming over the texture paint as its a nice color. The rocks and bush are stuck into the texture paint, no extra glue needed!

Really like this product it's thick spreads very well and leaves a a nice grit texture exactly like sand.

Happy with the result. Cool effect. Large amount of product for the price relative to other brands.

Works perfectly. Goes on moist and quickly dries. Perfect for models.
