Great Color. Consistency too thin.
Vallejo Model Color #35 17ml - 70-859 - Black Red is one of the few disappointing Vallejo Model Colors I have purchased. It is too thin for a base coat, too thick for a wash, moderately functional contrast color. The coverage is terrible. As you can see in this Tiefling’s textured armor, the paint settles in the waffling and is inconsistent. The shade is awesome, if it wasn’t so thin it could be really nice for painting blood but not with this consistency. I will purchase another bottle sometime to see if this is just a fluke or it is this color. The WildSpire Samurai Tiefling you see in these photos is out-of-the bottle base-painted with Vallejo Model Color Paints. It turned into an unintentional demonstration of how occasionally you get a funky bottle of paint that is too thick or too thin. Rest assured; this is not the norm for Vallejo Model Color. • Skin- 70.926 Red • Pants- 70.946 Dark Red • Tunic- 70.982 Cavalry Brown • Textured Armor- 70.859 Black Red • Shin Guards- 70.957 Flat Red • Belt, Shoulder Strap, Sheath- 70.818 Red Leather I LOVE Vallejo Model color paint! It is almost the only brand I use for painting 28mm fantasy role-playing figures. I start with Vallejo 28010 - AFV Basic White Primer Spray and finish with Vallejo 28531 - Matte Varnish Spray. They are versatile, easy to use, mix beautifully, come in plenty of different hues, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. A 17mL drop dropper bottle goes a long, long way. One drop covers A LOT of surface area. Dropper bottle keeps your paint fresh, and free from contamination and evaporation. Also, if you’re a little bit clumsy like me, you can drop them, knock them over, or bounce them off the floor with very little mess. If you’re interested in seeing more of my work, or purchasing some of it, you can see and buy finished pieces on eBay. Look for seller name Williwowind78. Buy your paint from Midwest Model Railroad! The customer service and the price are worth the shipping.

Useful color, fast...
I'm a big fan of Vallejo for use in fantasy and historical miniatures. This seller offers better prices than other retailers, very quick turnaround on delivery.
