Who uses Tamiya or Model Master paints and what do you pay
Posted in
Custom Workstationfor them? Where do you purchase them? How much do you spend in a year on this paint per each brand and which brands?
Remember Testors owns quite a few companies so this question is any testors paint, not just Model Master.
Would you be against buying online from someone? What would make start buying from someone online.
If everyone could answer this for me in all seriousness I would greatly appreciate it.

Please wait...

Testors - Good for military stuff ( Plastic Kits ...military figures... ) lots of varieties and color. Preferbly with airbrush.
Tamiya - Forget it ( Dry up from the bottle pretty fast and hard to mix )
Gunze - Better than Tamiya, but only good for Gundam ( Air brush needed to see quality - White,BLue, Red, Yellow is tough to paint )
If you are using air brush , I suggest CAR PAINTS with CAR PAINTS SOFTENER. Mix your paints thin and spray it layer by layer...it will look smooth and gloss. Once its gloss its easier for you to wash and so on.
Hope helps....
I'm using Citadel on my Voyager Optimus Prime and the paint hasn't chipped at all yet (check-out my WIP topic).
Things cost more in Canada than the States.
Its a sad but true part of life.
I'm gonna have to look into getting some Vallejo Game Color paints now.
Woot!!
It's great. It goes on in one coat and you usaully don't have to to another layer.
One coat your done.
I use game workshop regural paints to and there good but I find some times it takes a few layers ontop of a washed figure to really cover up the factory paint.
I've been thinking of switching to Vallejo as there 4.99 for 17 ml while my gamesworkshop stuff is 4.25 for 12 ml. I think 5 ml more for only .75 is a better deal.
My game shop suggested Game Color, so that's the kind I use. It's worked out great for me.

also let's not forget that Ratboy swears by Reapers paints and his stuff always looks killer!
Citadel came out with a new line of paints called Citadel Foundation. has anyone tried them yet?
here is the info from their site -

one problem I had with the Vallejo was that the Dark Green was just a big lump of pigment in the bottle, obviously a factory error.
other than that they work pretty good.
