🌋 Vallejo Diorama FX 26305 Mars Red 1–2 mm – Landscape Texture

🎯 Why choose Vallejo Diorama FX Mars Red 1–2 mm

The Vallejo Diorama FX 26305 Mars Red 1–2 mm – Landscape Texture is a medium-grain dry mineral texture, ideal for representing reddish, volcanic or eroded landscapes with greater volume and realism. This grain size provides a more pronounced sense of relief, perfect for elevated areas, ash accumulations or arid paths in dioramas, wargames and miniature bases.

As it is a dry texture, it requires the use of a fixer, such as the Vallejo Terrain Fixer 26322, or it can be applied directly onto wet acrylic bases such as Brown Earth 26219 for a more natural bond.
