Hey Guys,

Does anyone know where I can find paint charts/ catalogues online?

I'm looking for Humbrol, Model Master and Tamiya.

If you want cross-reference charts they can be found on the IPMS Stockholm website found here

Hope this helps...

I have a cross reference chart that I had made a while back. I have submitted it to the Big A but I havent seen it up yet. If you give me your email I will send you a PDF version.
Cheers,
Bryan

Thanks for all the help, guys

I'm trying to find an alternative to Humbrol's Natural Wood (110) which has apparently been discontinued.

Discountinuing 110? Are you sure?

IPMS Stockholm last updated their Humbrol chart in July and it's still there. Natural Wood is one of the colours that not many paint manufacturer's have an equivalent for - infact only Gunze Sanyo H37.

What are you painting though? 'Cos there are other techniques to getting a nice wood finish.

Yeah, apparently it's been dis-continued. None of the shops up here have it, the nearest match I can find is 118.

It's not for me, it's for my grandfather. He's building a Catapult to go with his 15mm Wargaming Figures

Cougar,

Contact Topflyte Hobbies in Durbanville or Thom's Hobby Haven in N1City Shopping Centre (both in WCape). They both carry the Humbrol line, and I'm sure they do mail order - although you'll probably have to order more than just the 1 tin...
