Clear acrylic base medium that chemically triggers controlled cracking and fracturing in any standard acrylic topcoat applied over it. Perfect for creating custom-colored weathered surfaces, peeling paint effects, and parched earth texturing on dioramas and bases.
QUAKE CRACKLE CREATOR TEXTURES Crackle Base is a Transparent acrylic base medium designed to induce a crackle effect in topcoats suitable for Preparing miniature bases, diorama terrain, and model surfaces prior to painting to achieve automated, realistic splitting and fracturing of the top color layer.. Actively triggers cracking in standard acrylic paints as they dry, maintains excellent clear transparency to preserve underlying colors, and provides superb adhesion to plastic, resin, and plaster.. Applying a uniform layer directly over a primed surface with a flat brush, letting it tack up slightly, and then overcoating it with your chosen standard acrylic paint...
About the product
This transparent base medium from the Quake Crackle Creator line gives you total artistic freedom when building fractured or aged textures. Instead of being limited to pre-mixed colored crackle pastes, this clear coat acts as a reactive primer that forces whatever standard acrylic paint you brush over it to split as it dries. It lays down smoothly, flows neatly into fine details, and grips tightly to everything from plastic gaming bases to carved foam terrain. Once your topcoat fractures, the dried surface is incredibly stable and completely ready to absorb weathering washes, filters, or fine pigments to enhance the visual depth of the cracks. It is an indispensable tool for replicating sun-baked soil, cracked bark, or severely weathered industrial paint flaking.
Features
- Reactive chemical formula that causes any standard acrylic paint to crack as it cures
- Completely clear dry finish ensuring your underlying colors or primers stay perfectly visible
- Full scale control over the size and density of cracks by varying topcoat thickness

Tips and tricks
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Use | Miniature display bases, weathered vehicle panels, dried-out riverbeds, peeling wood paint |
| Advantages | Unlimited color freedom for crackle effects, simple single-brush application, looks highly organic |
| Weaknesses | Timing is key; if the top coat is applied after this base has completely cured, the cracking effect will diminish |
| Combination | AMMO acrylic paints, terrain textures, weathering washes to highlight the fissures, and matte varnishes. |
| Tip | The thickness of your top coat dictates the size of the fractures. For a tight network of tiny micro-cracks, brush on a very thin layer of top color. For massive, deep fissures, lay down the top coat more heavily. To make the texture pop, paint the surface a contrasting bold color before applying this base, so that color shows through the splits. |
