Both the texture and the grain of this paste faithfully imitate asphalt in scale. The black, finely grained surface is a ready-made road – spread it, let it dry and add road markings or wear. It belongs to the Wargame Terrains line, which means a smaller 100 ml pot at a price that suits a wargamer building bases in batches rather than one large diorama.

How do I make cracks in the asphalt?
Scratch thin lines into the fresh paste with a knife tip or a toothpick. Once dry, run a dark wash into them to deepen them.
How do I clean my tools?
Water, as long as the paste is still wet. Rinse the spatula and the old brush right after use – cured acrylic paste will not come off.
Can the paste be thinned?
Yes, with water or acrylic thinner if you need it to flow better. Thinning costs it some shape retention, so go easy.
