## Description

From the Manufacturer The consistency of Modelcolor allows for an extremely smooth and uniform paintfilm, with no trace of brushstrokes. Professional model painters always work with a wet brush and dilute the paint with water or Mat Medium, applying many thin layers to achieve depth and shadows. Colors may also be diluted with other Mediums for glazes and layered applications. The waterbased formula of Modelcolor has been specifically developed for adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but the product is not toxic, not flammable, and does not give off noxious fumes. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or alcohol Modelcolor dries quickly to a matte, even and waterproof finish. Exact drying time depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment, on the surface which has been painted, and on the thickness of the paint layer - although the colors are dry to the touch within minutes, the water content keeps on evaporating, and the paint does not acquire its true permanence until several weeks after application. Vinyl acrylic colours, very highly pigmented, formulated for models and miniatures. Model color is indicated for all surfaces, and especially formulated to adhere to plastics and polyesters.

Review: Game changer! - My very first set of quality paints! I can’t believe I waited so long to splurge on them! I was previously using the same watered down acrylics I’ve had for years (generic store brand) but these are simply amazing!!! The coverage is spectacular! One coat is adequate. Drying time is slightly longer than generic paints, but well worth the wait! Colors are rich and vibrant! Paints flow smoothly and mix together well. I use these for all sorts of miniatures. They’re very easy to use on many textures. Paper, plastic, wire, wood… and I didn’t even use a primer. Very nice! Worth the price!!!
Review: Easy to use, good quality paints - I'd heard good things about this particular set, and I decided to get this for my start into miniature painting. The paints themselves have pretty good coverage, if not on the first coat, then definitely on the second or third, depending how dark your undercoat is and how much you thin the paints. The metallics (silver and gold) have been working pretty well, though I notice they do separate if you leave some out on your wet pallet overnight. Mixes back up fairly well afterward in spite of that. The set comes with 16 colors, and I think what's included is all I really need. If I need something that's not quite in the box, it's very easy to mix these up on the pallet to get exactly what I want. Some of the recipes I've used include: -Red + brown = oxblood -Black + white = gray (I've seen people complain about the lack of gray, but it's so simple to mix your own) -Silver + black + maybe a bit of white = gunmetal -Silver + gray = steel -Brown + buff (a sort of khaki color) = a lovely beige -Red + a bit of orange = a lighter, more medieval sort of red -Pine green + yellow ochre = a summer grass color (drybrush it with yellow ochre afterward to enhance the effect) Just fiddle around with the proportions until it looks right, then paint away!
