Vallejo - Model Color Medieval Colors Set | Modeling Acrylic Paints | 16 Bottles x 18 ml (0.60 fl.oz.)

I have used Apple Barrel paints. I have used the Games Workshop paints. I have used everything in-between. I have sold my painted items on eBay. I have put my items in auctions on other sites, in competitions both local and online. I am not a professional painter, but I am by no means a novice. Then, I took a few years off from painting due to some issues. Now I am looking to get back to things. I decided not to go with GW paints but to give these a go instead because of the reviews and where they are made.All I can say is WOW. These paints flow better than anything else I have ever used. Now, I have not used the latest and newest GW paints, so I cannot speak for their quality. But I did turn around a buy 3 different sets of Vallejo paints based on the usage of just a few of these in one sitting - they were that good. I especially like the fact that they have a dropped built-in that allows me to control the amount of paint I use. I 3D printed a bunch of floor tiles for testing purposes and went to work. No primer, just paint. One drop covered an entire inch section of the tile. It soaked into the crevices and flowed smoothly everywhere and made painting almost too easy. And it dried faster than I was used to, allowing me to finish an entire tile quickly. Now, is 1 inch really saving me paint? Well, I primed the second tile and tried again. Now one drop covered almost the entire surface of the 2" x 2" tile including the walls around them. Yeah, I will be buying these again when they are gone. They are quality paints. They have exceptional flow. The colors are exceptional. They are durable even without clearcoat - not that I would ever leave my precious jobs to fate without at least a single coating of matte or gloss finish.

As with every Vallejo paint I've bought, the paint itself has great pigment and coverage. The only reason "Ease of use" is lower is that the consistency varies between paints, meaning more or less watering down to get the consistency you need. Also, every Vallejo order comes with a fun game of "will it arrive intact", as the dropper bottles are somewhat fragile and the packaging doesn't offer much protection. Overall though, highly recommended.

I got these pretty quickly when I ordered them and they were pretty good for painting up a darksouls expansion set I had gotten for a friend for christmas, took a lil mixing on some paints to get them good since unless you get every paint under the sun you should probab;y mix the paints to get a more desired hue. Paints were pretty good, the black I got was a lil thick coming out but it wasn't too much of an issue especially since I mostly use it for mixing to get a darker shade of another color or just mix with water to make a dark wash for getting into cracks for details that I want to look deeper than they are without needing to paint for super duper long.Great deal rn especially if you've been to a hobby store you should know for $30 on the sale it is rn you're getting 16 paints for the cost of 6, if these goes back to it's regular price it's pretty much going to be comparable to buying at a hobby store so maybe best to support a local one if you don't care about savings.

So far I am very pleased with this set of colors. It has a good range of colors for an addition to one's paint line up or as a starter set. The paints are very smooth and have great coverage over a primed metal or plastic miniature.I only have two complaints. The first is the bottles, though they are easy to use and one can squeeze out a drop at a time, sometimes air bubbles get caught in the bottle and upon the next time opening, a lot of paint squirts out. One has to make sure that when closing the bottle that no bubbles occur.My second complaint is that the "flesh" color is much too yellow, almost like a tinted leather. So I would suggest having another caucasian tone available on hand.

Been great paint! Good coverage and not overly thick. Spreads and levels well enough

Being a casual miniature painter I didn't know the difference between cheap brands and better-quality brands for a long time. Recently however I noticed that my old cheap paints just seemed... sub-par - poor coverage, tacky, not mixing well, etc. So I researched miniature paints and Vallejo kept popping up as a good quality brand. So when I went to purchase them I was pleased to see that the price was very reasonable. Good quality; easy to use bottles. Also, if you're fairly new and don't want to deal with paint thinning and mixing ratios, these are great as they have a good viscosity right out of the box and I don't feel the need to thin them or otherwise alter them.

great color selection and value

As always, Vallejo products show quality and standard.
