    My order from HLJ has just arrived and I was wondering if anyone could recommend paints that are easy to find in the UK. The only ones I can find are WarHammer and Humbrol.

    • tamiya and vallejo are both easy to get too over on this rainy little island.

      Vallejo are excellent paint, and do specific shades either side of the main colour for high and low lights. Think you can even buy sets.
      They also make specific thinners for metal paints. And you can use their acrylics with GW paints including the thinners

      • Cool thanks. I finally got some paints to try out. I’m going to prime with tamiya spray. Then paint the kits with different colours of Vallejo and GW paints.

        • Good luck. Just don’t forget to thin your paint’s really well. If you are using water, most people recommend about the consistancy of skimmed milk, but it’s a bit of trial and error. Plus you’ll have paint a few coats so have patience with it.
