quite good, can thin it with just water.


the only reason I am still using Tamiya is their range of premix NATO 3-scheme colors; else I will switch completely to vallejo.

Not cheap to use this paint but the results are good. The common colors are not easily found here. I have even tried in Singapore. Best way to get Vallejo at the moment is by mail order while the Euro is weak.

Sorry Boss, never tried Vallejo acrylics before but I've heard some good things about it. A bit expensive but good. I know MH had some Model Color as well. Bought one bottle from them and it was old but still good. Gives a lasting Matt finish. As for figure painting still jauh lagi to catch up to our local experts here.

Boss I've asked Mojimbo, Argrillion and Floogen for their help to keep an eye out for me for acrylic flat black. You wouldn't happen to have seen any around have you?

Ahh! Thanks again Mojimbo. You and Argrillion are definitely life savers. Me and my models are indebted to you.

Will be going Sunway during the last week of the month for a conference. Black and white is like gold(not the paint) around here. BTW just curious on the change of your Avatar, Mojimbo?

Mojimbo, as a beachbum, not professional yet but would like to be I think the surfer dude is the way to go. Besides modelling, a long white beach, a deep blue emerald sea, the light breeze and a setting sun what more can a man ask for.

Boss, its flat black I need though, not Nato black which no pun intended just ain't black enough. Thanks anyway. I've been to Toycity at Mid Valley and IOI Mall already which just leaves Toycity @ the Summit, Sunway Pyramid (mentioned by our surfer dude) and the KL main shop.

Try Toys In Motion at 1U New Wing. It's located at the highest floor, just near the side entrance to Parkson. They sell paints for the Games Workshop, so you should be able to find what you are looking for there.

Dear fellows,

I used Vallejo and Andrea acylics for all my figure painting. It is also excellent for chipping armor and weathering.

Goto below website where it provides some good basic acrylics property and how to article

http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/

I've done 2 demo sessions at MH last years...this year too busy with new job and house moving.. May be you if guys interested, I can get MH Chris to organise another session year end..

Goodluck

Allan, long time no see..i guess u're busy moving around!!!

That would be such a good idea...frankly i'm still new in painting figure with acrylics... from the date i got them, i'm just test paint on spare heads, etc..etc
maybe we need to see real talent at work!
