A light earth tone designed to replicate dry ground / pale soil effects on vehicle undersides, terrain, and natural dirt build-up points on your models.
 
What it does
Creates realistic dry earth staining and deposits where dust and soil naturally settle
Gives you full control: you can blend, soften, and adjust with a damp brush (water-reactivatable)
Excellent for building matte earth layers and for mixing into textured dirt recipes
 
How to use
Apply undiluted for stronger deposits, or dilute with tap water for lighter soil veils.
Blend and shape the effect with a slightly damp brush for natural transitions.
After it dries, re-activate with water to refine, lift, or rework the effect until it looks perfect.
 
Best for
Vehicle undersides, wheels & tracks, Warhammer bases, desert/arid boards, ruins, light soil terrain.
