  • Quality paint makes all the difference
Style: Model Color Basic Colors USA Set
These are excellent paints. I'm new to miniature model painting but these paints are awesome compared to a few others I was trying. They're not cheap but the quality is great. They paint on smooth with small brushes and also easily dilute with water for an airbrush (where they go on so smooth).

  • High quality paint.

Great paint for models and top quality. Very good coverage. Works great with brushes or thinned for air brush work.

  • Top of the Line Paints from the GOAT Model Paint Company
Style: Model Color Basic Colors USA Set
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

  • Very Good Colours. Requires Coating if to be Handled.
Style: Model Color Basic Colors USA Set
Very easy to use. Can be thinned for smoother application. Recommend to clear coat for any item that will endure handling, as it rubs off easily.

  • Super paints!
Style: Model Color Basic Colors USA Set
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.
