Tips
Tips
- Apply basing glue evenly — spread a thin, even layer before pouring for consistent coverage
- Pour generously then tap off — pour sand over wet glue, press lightly, then tap to remove excess
- Seal before painting — apply matt varnish or scenic sealant to lock the sand in place before adding washes or drybrushing
- Drybrush for highlights — a light drybrush of white or bright silver over sealed sand adds a cold, gleaming metallic shimmer
- Apply a black or dark grey wash — deepen the recesses to enhance the industrial, grimdark feel
- Add industrial scatter or grime effects — complement with rust powders, oil stains, or urban debris for a gritty, futuristic scene
- Mix with lunar grey or black sand — blend for a darker, more weathered metallic gradient
- Varnish to protect — seal the finished base with matt varnish to protect during gaming and transport
Instructions for use
Instructions for use
- Apply adhesive — Coat your surface evenly with a water-based PVA adhesive or similar hobby glue. For best results, dilute PVA slightly with water (roughly 3:1 ratio) to help the sand bond firmly without clumping.
- Place the sand — While the adhesive is still wet, sprinkle Modelling Sand - Turquoise generously over the surface. Gently press it down with your fingers or a soft brush to ensure good contact. Tip away any excess back into the bag.
- Allow to dry — Leave the surface to dry completely in a well-ventilated area for a minimum of 2–3 hours, or overnight for best results. Do not disturb the sand while drying to avoid uneven patches.
- Paint and finish — Once fully dry, apply your chosen paints, washes, or varnish over the sand to achieve your desired effect. A coat of diluted PVA over the top can also be used as a final sealant to lock the grains in place permanently.
