🌾 Dirt, mud and sand textures for any scenery

To recreate natural terrains, Diorama FX offers a complete range of muds, sands and earths in different shades and thicknesses. From wet industrial mud to dry desert sand, you can represent any climate or biome.

These pastes dry with realistic volume and texture, do not crack and can be painted over without any issue. Apply them with a spatula or old brush and create roads, trenches or paths with footprints. Combine them with powder pigments to add tonal variations and achieve a more natural effect.

🔗 Complement with Model Color to paint rocks, edges or transitions.

Vallejo Diorama FX 26820 Nieve Snow Texture 26820 - Mr Resin

❄️ Snow effect: easy, fast and realistic

Vallejo's snow effect is simply magical. It comes ready to use, applies like a light paste, and when dry it leaves a bright white finish with a subtle shimmer that mimics fresh snow.

You can apply it directly over the base or on top of other textures. If you want more volume, just add layers. You can also mix it with white or grey paint to simulate dirty ice or melted areas.

Add Weathering Effects such as moisture or mud to provide contrast.

🌊 Water, puddles and waves that look real

With Diorama FX you can simulate water in all its forms. Gels like "Transparent Water" or "Mediterranean Water" let you create everything from shallow puddles to ocean waves.

The gel is self-leveling and can be poured directly onto the scene. You can shape it with a spatula to simulate movement and add foam with white paint or special textures.

Combine it with pigments to adjust tones and add effects of dirt or algae.

✨ Diorama FX: the finishing touch that makes all the difference

Every detail matters when you're looking for realism, and that's where Diorama FX truly shines. With these textures you can transform any simple base into a complete story: footprints that tell a journey, snow that feels cold just by looking at it, or water that seems to move.

If you love making your figures look alive and full of personality, this range will become your new essential ally. Make your work stand out and amaze everyone with sceneries that come to life before their eyes. 🌟

📁 Mr Resin Workshop Tips

Print the base first with Vallejo primers for better adhesion.
Use stiff brushes or spatulas to apply and model the terrain.
You can mix Diorama FX with each other or with acrylic paint to vary the tone.
If you apply thick layers, allow each one to dry thoroughly between coats (approx. 24h).
The effects can be painted, varnished, or weathered on top once dry.

🎨 Combine Diorama FX with other Vallejo ranges

Although Diorama FX already shines on its own, the result is spectacular when combined with other ranges:

Model Color for painting reliefs, rocks and dry textures.
Weathering Effects for adding rust, moss or moisture.
Xpress Color for quick glazes.
Powder Pigments for natural finishes.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about Vallejo Diorama FX

The Vallejo Diorama FX range covers acrylic texture products for recreating realistic terrain (mud in various types, earth and sand in different colors and grain sizes), snow effects, and water effects — both clear and tinted — along with extras like foam paste for waves. All in all, it has everything you need to simulate mud, dust, sand, snow, water, waves, and other natural elements in your dioramas.

Although both lines are used in scale modeling, Diorama FX is designed to build terrain and scene bases (adding volume and texture: mud, earth, water, snow). Vallejo Weathering Effects, on the other hand, are thinner liquids and pastes with permanent pigments designed for weathering and environmental effects (oil stains, rust, rain streaks, mud splashes, etc.) on models and surfaces. In short: Diorama FX builds the scenery, while Weathering Effects adds wear and weather details. They are complementary and both water-based, so they can be used together without any issues.

Drying time depends on the product and the thickness of the application. In general, terrain textures (mud, sand, snow) dry to the touch in ~1 hour in thin layers, and in about 12 hours in thick layers (2–3 mm). For a fully cured, hardened finish, allow 24 hours if the application was very thick. Water effects (poured transparent resin) also skin over superficially in 1–2 hours, but layers several millimeters deep can take 24 hours or more to become fully transparent. It's important not to rush thick layers — patience ensures a clear, crack-free result. If you're in a hurry, you can apply gentle heat (a warm hair dryer) to speed things up slightly, but ideally let everything dry at room temperature. Once dry, the material becomes solid yet slightly flexible, and is no longer water-soluble.

No, Diorama FX products are ready to use straight from the jar. There's no need to dilute with water — in fact, adding water could thin the paste too much and extend drying time. The only recommendation is to stir the contents thoroughly with a stick or spatula before use, especially if the jar has been sitting for a while, to restore an even consistency (some components may settle slightly over time). Then apply it as-is. For water effect gels, pour them directly without mixing in water, as this can cloud the final result. If you'd like, you can tint the pastes or gels by stirring in a few drops of Vallejo acrylic paint to customize the color — but this is entirely optional. As a general rule, use it straight from the jar and spread it however you like.

These textures adhere well to multiple surfaces commonly used in scale modeling: plastics (polystyrene, resin), polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene (diorama foam), cardboard, wood, primed metal, and more. If the surface is very smooth or non-porous (such as hard plastic), it's recommended to first apply a primer coat or base paint to help the paste bond properly. On porous surfaces (foam, wood) you can apply directly, although priming beforehand also helps prevent the product from being absorbed too deeply. Since it contains no solvents, it won't damage delicate materials — for example, you can texture extruded foam without worrying about melting it (unlike solvent-based products). Always make sure the surface is dry and free of dust or grease for best results.
