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.
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.
Heavy Arms. I have just started building it myself it will be my third kit and I would like to see what someone with more experience can do with it any advice they can give me.
then grab some vallejos and vallejo thinner 🙂 tamiya can dry too quickly when handbrushing.
Thanks very much for the advise.
