Vallejo Alkaline White 0.5-1mm

Dry, chalky limestone soils run from pale grey to a merciless, sun-bleached white — and this fine-grain Vallejo texture recreates exactly that. Spread it over a base or vignette, let it dry, then paint, wash and drybrush to conjure a parched, arid ground. Add a bleached skull or a burnt-out wreck and the atmosphere writes itself.
