Diorama FX Vallejo: textures and effects for dioramas
Diorama FX Vallejo brings together acrylic pastes, gels and textures to create terrain, water, mud, snow, sand, stone, lava, vegetation and other scene effects. It's a useful range for building miniature bases, scenic plinths, model railway terrain, military dioramas and fantasy or sci-fi scenes.
Which Diorama FX product to choose
- Water and transparent effects: for rivers, puddles, damp areas and small water details.
- Mud, earth and sand: for roads, vehicle bases, dry terrain or muddy areas.
- Snow and ice: for winter scenes, cold bases and accumulation effects.
- Stone, lava and special textures: for volcanic terrain, ruins, fantasy bases and scenery.
How to apply Diorama FX
Diorama FX products can be applied with a spatula, an old brush or a modelling tool, depending on the texture. You can use them on their own or combine them with Weathering FX, Pigment FX, washes and drybrush to better blend the terrain with the model or miniature.
Frequently asked questions about Diorama FX Vallejo
Does Diorama FX work on miniature bases?
Yes. That's one of its most common uses: creating ground, mud, snow, rock, water, lava or scenic textures before painting or touching up the base.
Do you need to paint over Diorama FX?
It depends on the product and the finish you're after. Some textures already have colour, but many can be improved with washes, drybrush, pigments or paint touch-ups.
