Our take on the Vallejo Paints: Desert Sand Texture Acrylic, 6.79 oz (200ml)

Vallejo Desert Sand is a water-based acrylic texture paste for dioramas, bases and terrain. It carries fine grit and permanent pigments, so it reads as dry sand rather than smooth paint. You can brush or knife it on, shape it before it dries to press in tracks and ruts, and thin it with water for a flatter surface. It mixes with Vallejo's Model Color, Game Color and Model Air ranges and with other textures in the same line, which makes it a flexible base layer rather than a standalone paint.

About the Vallejo Paints: Desert Sand Texture Acrylic, 6.79 oz (200ml)

Vallejo Desert Sand is a water-based acrylic texture from the Acrylicos Vallejo stone textures range. It is made with permanent pigments, microparticles and acrylic resin. The result is a slightly gritty earth and sand base for dioramas.

Apply it with a brush or a painting knife on any diorama surface or terrain. It can be shaped before it dries to make low relief textures such as truck and tank tracks. For a less structured surface, thin it with water by 20% to 40%.

It can be mixed with the other textures in the range, with acrylic colors (Modelcolor, Game Color and Model Air) and with other diorama materials. It is non-toxic and dries to a resistant, permanent finish. Drying time depends on how thickly it is applied and on the humidity, and can range from 45 minutes to hours or even days.

Questions and answers

What is Desert Sand texture used for?
It is a sand-textured acrylic base for diorama ground, miniature bases and terrain. It gives a slightly gritty surface that looks like dry earth or sand.
Can I mix it with paint?
Yes. It mixes with Vallejo Model Color, Game Color and Model Air acrylics and with other textures in the Stone Textures range, so you can tint it or blend grit levels.
How long does it take to dry?
Vallejo states 45 minutes to hours, or even days, depending on how thick you apply it and the humidity. Thin coats set much faster than built-up relief.
Can I thin it?
Yes. Add 20% to 40% water for a less structured surface. Thinning too far loses the grit and the ability to hold shaped detail.
Can I shape it before it dries?
Yes. It can be pressed and shaped while wet to make low relief such as truck and tank tracks, then left to cure.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Vallejo describes the range as non-toxic and water-based. Normal hobby ventilation and cleanup with water are still sensible.
