Im looking at going and buying some more Vallejo paints and wanted to know what a good basic color selection of (say 15 or 20) paints to get started with. The display I seen has way to many for me to buy (my wife would divorce me). Im usually working on german models and figures. And one more thing what is the average price for the paints. Im paying around 3 bucks a bottle. Am I getting ripped off?
Thanks in advance
