Description

A range of 218 acrylic colours, very highly pigmented, formulated for models and miniatures. Model Color is indicated for all surfaces, and especially formulated to adhere to plastics and polyesters. The Modelcolor range contains 218 colors and an extensive assortment of mediums and varnishes, designed especially for Miniature and Modelpainting. The colors have been chosen with the help and advice of the best model painters from many countries. Those colors which have corresponding Federal Standard, Ral and RLM equivalencies are so identified. (Please see â€œ Equivalent values â€). Modelcolor has been formulated with permanent pigments for fine arts; all colors are completely lightfast and opaque, (with the exception of the fluorescent and transparent colors, which are semi-opaque). A few metallic pigments (in an alcohol base) are included in the range, since these give a harder brilliance than the waterbased metallics. (Please see â€œ Liquid Gold â€). The consistency of Modelcolor allows for an extremely smooth and uniform paintfilm, with no trace of brushstrokes. Professional model painters always work with a wet brush and dilute the paint with water or Mat Medium, applying many thin layers to achieve depth and shadows. Colors may also be diluted with other Mediums (See "Auxiliary Products for Modelpainting") for glazes and layered applications. The waterbased formula of Modelcolor has been specifically developed for adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but the product is not toxic, not flammable, and does not give off noxious fumes. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or alcohol Modelcolor dries quickly to a matte, even and waterproof finish. Exact drying time depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment, on the surface which has been painted, and on the thickness of the paint layer - although the colors are dry to the touch within minutes, the water content keeps on evaporating, and the paint does not acquire its true permanence until several weeks after application.

Good color. Bad coverage. Thin paint.

Vallejo Model Color #35 17ml - 70-911 Light Orange is one of the few disappointing Vallejo Model Colors I have purchased. Paint seems a little watery and is not as highly pigmented as I have come to expect from Vallejo. However, this seems to be the case with all shades of yellows and oranges, it may be a pigmenting problem that just cannot be resolved. I can’t say as I have found any other brands near this shade that cover any better. Color looks better in the pictures than it does in r/l. It's going to take a few coats to get it smooth and consistent. Orc Body is painted with Vallejo Model Color #35 17ml - 70-974 Green Sky 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.
