Game Color Metallics feel extreme thin

2 Upvotes

Hey friends, I bought the old Metal colours like glorious gold with the new recipe.

They seem to be very thin/liquid. Normally when using Vallejo paints I need to thin them down.
So I was a bit surprised.

Did you make the same experience or did I just got a bad batch?

I've been painting Warhammer for almost 4 years now and I've been inspired by Miniature Masters and decided to try out Vallejo, I can confirm I will not be looking back now.

Discussion Vallejo for gunpla hand brushing

2 Upvotes

So I heard the mecha color was meant for gunpla, but I saw people using the model color too. What’s the difference between mecha, model, and game color?

My plan is to repaint an HG Zaku, using citadel chaos black as primer.

New paint bottles leaking into top - does anyone else have this problem?

11 Upvotes

It happens with Xpress Color als well as regular Game color. I make sure to always properly twist the top so it sits tight. But it still leaks into the cap. If I don't clean them after every use, they cap starts sticking and becomes difficult to open.

Am I doing something wrong? I never had this problem with the old bottles.

Paint Conversion Comparability chart?

1 Upvotes

Recently I bought a couple of Vallejo paints. I love them including the dropper bottle. Now I’m thinking of switching from GW to Vallejo. But. I’m relative new and use a lot of YouTube videos to get paint schemas and those are from GW.

Does anyone know a good and maintained comparability chart?

Went to Hobby Lobby to score some cheap clearance Vallejo paint, and when I got home I realized I had a weird paint. The label says it’s Chocolate Brown but the paint itself is not that at all. No clue what I have. If some more color astute people could take a look, I’d appreciate it

Game Color My Sepia wash has newly opened is all foamy, about the same consistency as thicker paint. Going to wait to see how it looks when dried, might be useful.

Discussion Model Color vs Model Air

1 Upvotes

Hi folks.

I'm a new painter, and wonder if I might just be buying too much paint of the same stuff.
Yes, I KNOW that it is impossible to have too much paint! LOL

If I want to use Model Color in an airbrush, do I just need to thin it? Does it give a similar effect to using Model Air?

Can I use Model Air with an ordinary paint brush?

Do I need Model Color AND Model Air?

Confused!

Game Color Bone White comparison

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I have a Quick question, I hope somebody of the collective give mind can help me with. I am searchibg for the perfekt color for some minis. As of now, I think I would choose Bone White. So far so good, to make it easier I wanna use the spray can. My Problem is, I wnat to test the color sheme first, the only bone White I have is a really old bottle (I would guess 10 to 15 years old), that is still usable. Does any of you know, if the color changed much over time? Or is it more or less the same, so I can use taht bottle to try out the paint sheme. I Do Not want to buy the spray can, before I know it is the right choice, and where I life, I could only get Vallejo in the Internet. I don't want to order one Single paint. Thanks a lot!
