From Enamel to Acrylic, Humbrol to Vallejo - Let's talk about my experiences with PAINTS!

I get asked quite often what my opinions are on certain brands of paints. Whilst I do tend to talk about the paints I use during any particular build video, I realised that I didn't have a stand-alone video where I discuss my current experiences and favourite brands!


So here it is!


Join me in this video as I talk about my experiences with model paints, ranging from acrylic to enamel and various different brands I've used, highlighting what I think are the strengths and weaknessess of each of them.


Whilst I haven't used that many brands so far, I do primarily talk about Humbrol, Vallejo, Hataka and Tamiya (with some Kcolors, Citadel (Games Workshop) and Revell thrown in). I also give examples of some of the plastic model kits that I have painted with these specific paints - including my first kit the Airfix Hawker Hurricane, a Heller P51D Mustang, and an Airfix Curtiss Warhawk all in 1/72 scale.


See the my thoughts on my first ever model, the Airfix Hawker Hurricane MkI/IIb in 1/72 scale here:

I do have a bit of a cold in this video which is why the audio (my voice) sounds a little different, and the image quality might look a little different as I connected my camera directly to the PC for recording this one (was testing to see if it could work for possible future livestreams . . .watch this space I guess) but normal service should resume soon!
