A while back, my local Michaels had some "non-slip grit additive" in a jar, for a big discount. I experimented with it in texture paint. It worked pretty well, mixed with PVA and paint. I also added some fairly large grit sand, for added texture. I've mostly done it as texture prior to priming models, but it worked decently well on its own from my experiments. I've also acquired a kind of snow effect paste ("Snow-Tex" from DecoArt), but I haven't yet tried it out.

Can you store this homemade texture paints once you make them? Can they hold or will they dry up too fast? I know they are quite easy to make, but i usually do single bases, small pieces of scenery or small dioramas, so mixing them up every single time is a hustle. Being able to store it and use it like a store bought product would make all the difference in the world.

"Texture" and "Dry" are a complete waste of money. Mainly because they DRY up... If only I had used them up by then. An empty pot is usually an indicator of a good paint.

Basically whatever you do just don't buy citadel and it's fine. Agrellan earth is 7.80€ for 24 ML pot and GSW Mojave Mudcrack is about 5.50€ for 60 ML bottle. There's very little difference in performance but GSW doesn't chip off as easily so it's little bit better. Vallejo texture paints are far more durable than citadel ones and come in 200ml tubs which cost about 9.50€. 24ml bottle of Astrogranite is 7.80€ so you get about 8 times more texture paint for same amount of money when buying Vallejo.

I've found that egg shells can make for really cool bases as well. I take the egg shells, put them in a jar with a lid (usually it's a Homepride Pasta bake jar 😂) and shake until I get the size I want. Then I mix the egg shell with P.V.A. glue and slap it on the base. Prime, paint. Done. If I'm after a pointy ground effect I wait for the glue to dry a bit then place some larger bits of egg shell where I want them. It's an interesting look.

I love all your stuff, Luke, but I don't feel like AK Interactive's texture paint is overpriced or a waste of money. Citadel, well, yes, of course. But if you pay $15 for a 250ml jar of Dark Earth from AKI (which I own, love, and constantly use), it's going to last you upwards of 2-3 years, possibly 5 years, of constant use. Buying cheap craft paint and dumping clean, good quality basing sand into it is going to cost you at least $7, possibly $10. So to me, it comes down to the question, "How much is my time worth?" Again, not saying you're "wrong", and I absolutely love your videos about how to make your own Citadel Technical paints. I just don't consider AKI to be overpriced in any way. They are a tremendous value. Again, just my opinion! Take care!

Honestly I've never used any factory made texture paints or coverings. I've always just mixed stuff up. But I've used sand, kitty litter, corn meal, crushed stone, aquarium gravel, rocks and dirt from outside, baking soda, coffee grounds, and anything else that I have ever thought of. And basically mixed it into glue or paint, or both. I've also just put glue on a base and shook stuff on. I've always felt the pre-made texture paints were too expensive for the amount you got. And I'm glad you shared these recipes with us. I'd rather just make my own. Especially since it would be about an hour ordeal to drive my closest shop that carries pre-made texture paints, buy it, and drive back. Most of the stuff I use can be purchased at a closer shop in 10 minutes if I don't screw around looking at other stuff in the shop. And can be bought cheaper and in bigger abundance.

Hi, late to the party, but here now and finding so much inspiration in your builds and excitement at all the possibilities. A quick question though, if you don’t mind. What would you make/substitute the green foliage flakes? I’ve seen finely sivved sawdust coated in green paints (left to dry and set) as a substitute, what do you think? Any other ideas? Thinking of things you’d maybe find around the home/shed and in craft/art supplies. As this is my first foray into terrain/diorama creation, and being located in country Australia (postage SUCKS), I’m not sure I want to jump in with both feet (yet).
