Vallejo game acryllic

Riekko · 10-08-2010, 01:24 PM

Hi all

I have been surfing the site for a while and admiring some truly fantastic art work, seriously great work guys. This has inspired me to have more of a serious attempt at kits myself.

I have some 1/6 kits on order and have in the past used FW acrylic with good results, however after reading some threads here I was pondering buying a set of Vallejo Game Color paints off of ebay and was wondering if any one could give me feed back on this paint especially used with an airbrush. I have just purchased a H&S Evolution 2 in 1.

I already have a set of liquitex tubes which I use with brush, is it practical to add a medium to these for spraying, or would the Vallejo be the better choice?

As a Sorayama fan I bought some 1/4 kits and recently finished the Sexy Commando using car spray, acryllic and enamel. It is a recast kit and took a lot of work to get it to a suitable standard for spraying, and I think I have learnt many lessons in getting her to a finish I am happy with.

Anyway I would appreciate any help on thinning and spraying these acryllics and what to look out for as tips ( i tended to get splatter with the FW inks and an old DeVilbis Sprite Major airbrush). Where I bought the new airbrush they had Pro colour paints - very expensive for a set... But thy are used straight fom the pot - I would imagine pre thinned and ready for spraying is way easier than trying to get right yourself?

We don't take kindly to folks who support recasters 'round here.

Firstly, I don't 'support' recasters. When I bought those first kits from ebay I didn't even know what a recast kit was.

As I said - I learnt many lessons on these kits and I now pay more for an original that doesn't need the hours of extra work needed to get to an acceptable finish.

I asked some reasonable questions as a newbie and welcomed education in this hobby, but if I'm going to be blacklisted before I you know anything about me then go to hell!

Well now we know a little something about you. You'll go far around here with that attitude.
V's reply was legit. Recasters are frowned upon very darkly here. You should have stated that you were unaware of it in your original post or, failing that, not replied to a legitimate comment with a pissy comment. It looks bad on you to start a scrap with your second ever post here, the first one openly stating that you have a number of recast kits. Do some research before you buy and shut your trap when you're called on a foul. Otherwise you'll just blacklist yourself.

I'll help out a beginner.

I believe the Model colours are better than the games one but I'm sure Vallejo make paint especially for airbrushes.

Check their website.

For quality purposes. Yes their paints are very high quality

Nothing personal Riekko, I just really like Willy Wonka.
