    • Game changer!
Style: Basic Colors USA
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!!! ... show more

    • Easy to use, good quality paints
Style: Basic Colors USA
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! ... show more

    • One off the best on the market but has a few issues
Style: Basic Colors USA
One off the best on the market Started off with scale modeling in the late 70's with Humbrol /Airfix enamel paint Slowly switched to Acrylic and the acrylic paints have come a long way The set, colour-wise is quite complete and should give most modelers a great range The pigments are extremely small and the paint goes on like “butter” They need very little thinning but the correct thinner is fairly critical to professional looking results I use 49% windshield washer fluid, 50% water and a few drops of glycerin to break the tension Windshield washer fluid is basically a mixture of alcohol and water, the “blue” stuff can be purchased at any Dollar store (1 gallon plastic jug) Glycerin can be found at Walmart (do not put too much glycerin or you will get a “fish-eye” effect) Although this set is meant for brushing (Vallejo has AIR paints especially for air-brushing) , I had no problems using the paint in my airbrush Again, use my thinning formula Price wise this set translates to about $2.50 per paint bottle and is a bargain for these quality paints Although I consider the Vallejo paints top notch, there are some issues!!! The blue and the ocre do not dry flat and have a nasty plastic looking sheen This a common known issue with some of Vallejo's flat paint To solve the issue you can mix a little bit of Tamiya Acrylic X-21 flat base with your paint X-21 is NOT a varnish or paint, it is an acrylic flatting agent that needs to be mixed in with your acrylic paint to make it flat ... show more

    • Top of the Line Paints from the GOAT Model Paint Company
Style: Basic Colors USA
If you are looking at this because you have never had a box of paint from Vallejo, I can say without a doubt that in terms of quality their Model Color paint line is above and beyond the best paint money can buy for painting miniatures and scale models while maintaining a large selection of colors at a reasonable price. Initially, for around 25-30 dollars I was very skeptical about these assorted paint sets but breaking the math down at the current listed price of $26.17 for 16 paints it comes out to ~$1.63 per paint, which is at least a dollar better than what any game store I've been to will sell these to you for on an individual basis, with retail outlets like Hobby Lobby charging as much as $5 a dropper bottle of the same size. Outside of pricing, what you get for your money is some of the best color, coverage, and smoothness of any paint, though like every acrylic product, do not think you can use this straight out the bottle, thin your paints with water, or, PREFERABLY something like Vallejo Glaze Medium for longer usability on the palette and better, smoother texture from the brush. I got this box because it comes with a nice medium tone, Flat Red color as well as the coveted Yellow Ochre which pretty much has the best opacity and deepest yellow out of any yellow paint I've ever tried, along with other great paints like basic blues, greens, and everything else you need to paint just about anything you can think of. I use these for both brushing and airbrushing just fine and again, so long as you thin them respectively for either medium they're perfect. If you've never tried Vallejo, get this box. If you have Vallejo and are looking for more colors, get this box. ... show more

    • A Great Starter Set
Style: Basic Colors USA
This set has been my go to set for painting over the past two months. If you're looking for a solid core set of colors, then this one is a strong option. You get your basic primary and secondary colors, black and white, flesh, and a few metallic colors. Using the paint straight out of the bottle with a brush gives you excellent coverage. It leaves no brush strokes and levels out smoothly and evenly on most surfaces I've painted. Thinning it with water for washing is straightforward. I've found that a 4:1 ratio of water to paint is a good starting point.Using a good acrylic thinner for airbrushing is easy enough. Depending on which brand of thinner you prefer, I would try a 1:1 or 2:1 thinner to paint mix. Given how thick the paint is, just remember a little goes a long way with these colors. Given the slightly higher price point of these paints, it's also nice to know that they are fairly forgiving if you mess up. Just get some rubbing alcohol and you can wipe most of the paint off with a paper towel or a rag. Side note: my set was purchased from Langton Distribution which, according to the return address, is located in the UK. The listed 3-5 week delivery time turned out to be an overestimation. I received my set about 2 weeks after the shipping confirmation email in the Chicago area. ... show more

Bought a Hagrid figurine from Schleich. But the figurine was very poorly painted. So I had to edit it with Vallejo paints. The result was pleasing! Excellent paints for figurines. Easy to choose a color, mix well, cover the previous layer of paint well.

Bought this set to paint my first minis, love it. Has enough colors to paint anything typical. So far I've used it for a troll, Star Wars characters, and Marvel characters. Good consistency and easy to work with. Definitely for a beginner set, it's been great.
