VALLEJO: Since Amadeo Vallejo founded the company in New Jersey (USA) back in 1965 and before returning to Spain, the core of Vallejo’s business has always been the development of acrylic colors; from the late ‘60s for animation studios, through the first acrylics for fine arts manufactured in the ‘70s, to the first ranges for modeling formulated in the early ‘90s. From the Manufacturer Acrylicos Vallejo The Vallejo Company was registered in New Jersey, U.S.A., in the year 1965. In these early years it specialized in the manufacture of colors for animated films (cartoons). The most sustained expansion of Vallejo started in the nineties, beginning with the introduction of new products directed at the Model painting and Hobby sector. The company became the first specialist in acrylic colors, with a long and varied experience in all aspects of this branch of manufacturing. Textures of Sand, Earth and Stone A range of acrylic, water based textures. They can be mixed with one another, with acrylic colors (Model color, Game Color and Model Air) and other diorama materials. Set Contains: 1x 200ml bottle Review: Great Earth - Vallejo doesn’t disappoint. This earth texture is great. Spread it thin to make it looked like tamped down earth or give it some thickness for a rough muddy look. Clean up is easy.. if you have a bit in the edges if you base some damp paper will clean it right up.. drying time takes a while but it’s def worth it.. or use a hair dryer to speed it up.. the color is great , it’s a huge tub so def worth the price. It’s def a great product and you’ll have it for a good amount of time. Review: Easy to apply. - 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. ## Features - With diorama FX you give life, atmosphere, and above all you achieve a historical or fantastic context to your work that immerses it in a realistic experience.

And will it stay on like paint?** A: You'll be able to paint it on, however as it's not designed for any strenuous use it may crack or flake off if the material is flexible or gets handled a lot. You may be able to try it out and seal it on with matte varnish or something similar. **Q: Do i have to mix this or is ready to go with pigments of sand in it...?** A: It's ready to go. It's a gritty yellow thick paste...a bit brighter than what's pictured here. So I often either mix paint in it to get it more sandy colored or wait until it dries and paint it. **Q: Will the sand hold up if used on terrain for miniature gaming where it will have models moved around on it?** A: I have only used desert sand on miniature bases. It dries pretty hard. I believe it should hold up for you. **Q: Can this be painted on styrofoam?** A: Yes, it can. Just use stick to spread product over any surface you want, and then shape it as you like. You can add few drops of water to make it smoother. After 30 minutes, you can still shape it. When its dried out, you can paint over it, weather it, put resin on top, you name it ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Earth *by J***S on February 11, 2026* Vallejo doesn’t disappoint.
