Vallejo Model Paint
Vallejo’s range of “model” paints are more suited to historical figures, military units (such as tanks, ships and aircraft). For fantasy miniatures take a look at the “game” paints. The model paints can lend themselves well to those of us dabbling in the sci-fi or near future genres miniatures…
Benefits of Vallejo Paints
- Value for money.
- Acrylic paints are water based and therefore easy to wash off from both your paint brushes and your hands. Does not require poisonous chemicals to remove or thin.
- Highly pigment content – Miniature painting involves a lot of wet or watered down painting techniques. These paints can be watered down more and therefore your paint goes further.
- Huge range of colours that are compatible with other leading brands (see this online conversion table).
- Eye-dropper design – Paint can be extracted from bottle in small amounts and easily added to a palette. Other manufacturers have just “tubs” where you have to just pour the contents and risk waste due to spillage.
