Commenting on a very old video because I took the dive on ProAcryl and have been banging my head against them. I think this is very helpful to watch you use them, I’m on a wet palette and I find that each colour behaves pretty differently / I have to approach thinning very differently between each colour. The opacity is like 11/10, which has caused issues for me trying to glaze. I’ll keep practicing with them, but as you mention in the video - it really requires a shift.

I echo how good these paints are. I really love them. That being said I find their range of saturated bright warm colours to be lacking. They have one real bright yellow but it’s cold tinted. They have one real bright red. But it’s also cold tinted. They make a muddy orange. When you compare to the Kimera base set you see the issue with no “egg yolk” warm yellow etc. I find it strange they’ve added so many colours and not those. So I love the ones I have but I really wish they had at least even balanced temps for the primaries. I also can’t ignore the fact their magenta labelled paint is not magenta, it’s pink. Tons of white added. I use it lots. It’s one of the main colours of my army. It’s just not magenta. Just call it pink ! Anyway. Great review. Thanks.

I put in an order for 9 or 10 of these paints. I spent about 3 minutes using them before reaching the conclusion that these are the best miniature paints that I have used. The pigmentation gives you one layer base coat coverage for most colors even over black primer. These flow so well that I'm not sure it's possible to get visible brush strokes with them. They wet blend phenomenally well without the use of retarder or glaze medium. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. Combine that with the fact that I paid $3.65 per 22 ML bottle while some 12 mL pots of citadel layer paint now cost over $6... Lol. The only paint that may be less expensive is the army painter but I've heard mixed reviews about their paint. It's going to be tough to buy any other brand of paint going forward

Question: If someone with a bit of experience, albeit rusty, with wet blending, glazing, and mixing their own colors, were to be returning to the hobby starting at ground zero in paints, which would be the better set of paints to get restarted, the Creature Caster Pro set, the Warcolours Layering set, the Scalecolor, or the Scalecolor Fantasy?
@VinceVenturella5 жыл бұрын
That's a big question and one I am not sure I can really answer. I am a paint junkie and they all have different properties that align differently to your style and the way you are going to paint. Like the Warcolours are good over Zenithal highlighting orlight primer, the Scale Fantasy & Games is closer to traditional paint experiences. The normal Scale 75 and Pro Acryl are very opaque and good for wet blending and loaded brush styles. My best advice would be "Yes" and what I mean is don't commit to the entire set. Go out and pick up one pack (most of them have sets, like 6-8 paints in a set) of each and test them. Play with the four sets, they all work interchangably and it will help you get a feel for your own style and where you want to invest.

I double checked their website cause i was wondering if i missed something buying the whole range vs singles or a drop down for 20 ml... but nope. 17ml is all. I was kinda bummed (you definitely are not the person i think of when exaggeration comes to mind and i don't think it was on purpose) they weren't 20ml but still love the paints over all. According to Jen they are working on 16 more colors for this quarter so the range should expand soon as well.

With Kimera, it feels like you really need to 'learn' how to use them. And that's been reflected by several folks I've talked with. It feels like they're more like colors to add into other paints, rather than paints themselves. Getting basecoats with them feels much much different IMO. They're not bad, but very different.

Do you have any tips, because i dont like to waste paint, especially PA is not so easy to get here in germany.+ Second Question: I want to buy a substitute Line to the PA. Do you think Scale 75 (Standard or Fantasy and Game Line) is a good substitution because of their glazing abilities? Or would you recommend more Workhorsish Paints like Model Color, AK Interactive 3rd Gen or the ne Game Color Line?

I've gotten a pot - had to order from a supplier in the UK - and it seems like pure magic to me, though I definitely don't maintain the same sort of control I do with a standard stipple rust application. Possibly something that could be a worthy of a Hobby Cheating video as well, if you want to be adventurous and figure out the ins and outs of it as far as control goes.

Nice review, Vince! Wet blending is my technique of choice so I recently bought several scale color 75 paints and I’m in the process of liquidating (pun intended) my other paint lines: reaper, p3, citadel, Vallejo Game color/old citadel paints. How would you compare these to a scale 75 and warcolors since they’re all gel-based? I do like the fact that scale 75 has a lot of dark colors which pro acryl seems to be lacking at this time
@VinceVenturella5 жыл бұрын
They are in the same camp for me, in fact, these have entered my rotation with those two as I tend to wet blend and loaded brush a lot, so these fit right in. Overall quality, on the same level, the only real draw back right now is of course the small range of colors.

From your demonstration it seems these don't need much thinning to use. I've been using the Rich Gold and I thinned it with about as much water as I usually use for acrylics, and the coverage went to crap. Should I not have used much water? I'm trying to Basecoat smooth surfaces and don't want to ruin the smoothness with brush texture.
@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын
So a couple of things here. I love Pro Acryl, but their metals are average at best. It's a weak spot in the line. That being said, metals in general you don't really want to use much water with them, they have bad coverage for most (I have videos specific to good metal paint lines in the playlist, so check those out if you want to see the best in action), but the key here is you really don't thin them much and you need to smooth on the miniature. What I mean here is you apply some of the paint with little thinning, then you smooth it out and push it around on the miniature to flatten it ou and work it smooth.

Could you weigh in here please, i don't understand what I'm doing wrong when the majority of people are erasing Scale75. I don't have an airbrush so i paint via brush. I primed an old CD case withe Citadel's Corax white, and i tried out the Scale75 paints on the primed surface. I thinned them with water just like you would thin Citadel or Vallejo paints. No lie, i needed 7-8 coats to fully cover the surface and to rid myself of the brush strokes on the surface. I did the same thing with Vallejo Model paints and a similar color tone and in two coats i was completely covered and no brush strokes. This was with a light sand color too. I even did a Russian Uniform WWII, US Dark Green, German Grey, Khaki, Lime Green and all the Vallejo's covered in two coats with no brush strokes. I contacted Scae75 USA and the guy there emailed me back and said the original and Warfront paints have the same coverage, and the original have a matt finish whereas the warfront have an ultra-matt finish. I also watched a video by Scale75 on facebook where they paint a German soldier's WWII coat with SW38 Feldgrau by brush and they say they used two coats to cover the figure. Am i doing something wrong? Any thoughts? would appreciate some feedback. Thank you
@VinceVenturella3 жыл бұрын
COuld be that particular paint, but realistically, scale 75 shouldn't be thinned like vallejo, it's actually meant to be applied more thickly, only thined slightly and then painted on the surface, like you spread the paint a lot more and move it around the surface. But my honest answer is if it's giving you trouble, just stick with vallejo and use an ultra matte varnish afterward, no reason to kill yourself over a brand of paint.

I seen a Scale produced video where they apply the paint no problem with the Artist line, but then again i seen a video of them brush paint the Warfront set on a figure in two coats with no streaks.

The biggest difference is simply the size of the range, but that is something that will change over time.

Well, even in this case, the answer is it takes a few coats, the real answer though is why would you ever put yellow directly over black? Even if I weren't zenithaling (which I usually do), I would recommend something more neutral first that way you get a more true yellow as an in between step.

@@VinceVenturella yeah I get that just interesting to find out. Painting night goblins for instance for a commission, I've got like 100 to do and wanted to see if possible to get away with priming black and going straight in with a yellow rather than having to accurately airbrush prime each shield moon white first lol

Gotcha, that makes more sense, keeping the robes black, now I understand. Yeah, it's got strong coverage, but over straight black, we are still talking about 2-3 coats. :)
