Vallejo Dark Earth 200ml

Bases and dioramas live or die on their groundwork, and this is the easy way to lay down convincing earth. Vallejo Dark Earth is a ready-to-use acrylic texture paste that spreads straight onto the base with a spatula or old brush, drying to a rough, natural surface you can paint, wash and pigment however you like.
