I backed it too and was hoping you had! Thanks for the review, and showing them in action 👍🏼

Great review. I've been enjoying these paints quite a bit, and I've also noticed that they dry considerably more slowly than most paints so they're very easy to wet blend even with thinner layers.

I had backed up 36 tubes of this stuff. I’m still learning but I love the way this stuff glazes and basecoats. Though pairing it up with larmen medium turned it glossy. Yeah, I’ve still got a lot to learn. But using a combination of wood basecoat, brunt skin, red orche and mixing in buff to build up a highlight, I had so much fun in building up a satisfactory, very dark skin tone

Thanks! Was looking forward to this one! I've been playing with Kimera Kolors, I imagine these would be interesting to use together with the matte finish present in both. Thanks again!

I’ve been thinking of getting these as a compliment to the pro-acryl I just got. I like the idea of using these to replace traditional oil paints especially the flat finish and not having to invest in different thinners. As of late the pricing seems pretty standard and these would add a lot of diversity to my arsenal.

Lovely review as always, Vince. I've started using scale 75 more and more, though, being an acryliphile like yourself this is not exclusively. I've got the core set and the grey set of the artist set out of curiosity and I really like them so far. Particular praise goes out to the violet grey (sart-15) which is one of my favourite colours I've discovered recently. If anyone here paints Space Wolves Space marines for 40k it would most likely make for the perfect base colour for their armour.

Another exceptionally helpful video, thank you again, Vince. I’m new to HBA’s and I started to get heart palpitations when you put on the initial three heavy streaks. My GW brainwashing strikes again!

Absolutely love these paints! Can't wait for them to go to retail as I want to pick up the blue set.

I'd love to see you revisit this with the updated material and commercial information. I know these now have at minimum, the code for the pigment used in the paint, and are available in single tubes for purchase. (Plus, there's a giant, gorgeous box set that includes every single tube, a wet/dry combo palette, and a few other goodies.)

Bought the entire range and you pretty much echoed my thoughts on them. I wasn't disappointed in any way, they're very nice. On price; it should be noted that they are large tubes and with their consistency will probably go a long way. Plus I think the tubes probably won't spoil after a few years like standard dropper bottle paints sometimes do.

Thanks for the review. Nice to see products coming to market that get people experimenting with new techniques and styles. Going to be sticking with my oils for now though 😁

Very informative, I've been looking for a good video to explain the Scale 75 paints in a bit more depth. Much appreciated!

you have inspired me to open my kick starter box lol

These product reviews are so helpful! Thank you for producing such a tremendous amount of good, practical content. Also, have you ever used the Kimera Kolors pure pigment paints? If it’s a product you see yourself using, a product review would be awesome. Thanks!

Love the reviews. I see Pro Acryl has a new transparent line. Hoping that might be your next review. :)

Great video! I think there is something to be said for HBA's as it is easy to thin a paint, but I have yet to find a way to thicken it.

It’s really interesting how many of these hybrid art/hobby paints are available now. And they all seem to work like acrylic gouaches (eg Turner, Holbein).

Nice review mate

Hey Vince - When would you use these over your other Scale75 paints and Warcolours? You have also described those as paints that are great for painting on the miniature.

I got 12 from the kickstarter, never really used hpa before, and I'm really struggling to make them work for me. I'm an intermediate painter and use a wet palette and I can't get them to go on smoothly for layering. Will try to use some flow improver, see if that helps. Thanks.

Thanks again Vince. I’ve been building a collection of golden and liquitex HBA paints from the art store. Is there any compelling reason, price non withstanding, to add these?

Thanks for the review! I really appreciate your honesty with these videos. How is the drying time with these? I ask because I really struggle with using acrylic paints to wet blend. Either I can't get the consistency right or I use too many brush strokes and invariably tear the "skin" off the top and it looks terrible.

Thank you for the review! Fast or slow drying? Ok to use on wet pallet or will they just soak up water and be thinned out?

Vince, i m thinking i m going to pick up the hold set

Nice review, the brand prices in euros are: 25€ per box set, and 4,50€ per single color. They are now selling them in Spain, not know if are them available in other countries.

Thanks for the review. I was wondering what your thoughts were comparing them to the pro acryl line. Aside from the thickness. Which donyou fing using more often?

Vince, can you do a review of Golden Pumice Gels, (fine, coarse, extra coarse) and how they compare to Vallejo Texture gels?

I've never bought a full range of paints and I recently got 42 of these s75 artist paints to finally have an (almost full) range and I've been LOVING everything about them. I also picked up kimera paints and have been having a lot of fun with em. (Side note-dont these s75 artist paints smell good? Lol)

Thanks for the review Vince. Have you tried running these through an airbrush yet? There was at least one example of this on the Kickstarter campaign. Be interested to hear your thoughts.

I did not realize this line of paints was so new. I just pledged the Spellcaster in there most recent KS. I would like to pick some up in the PM. How do they compare to Kimera? I get the impression Kimera is not a HBA from your recent review. Thank you Vincent!

Beside the heavier body texture, How does the final result on the minis compare with the regular Scale75 ranges? Are they more pigmented?

Hey Vince! Thanks for the review. I just bought their "basic colors" set plus a bunch of other tubes. As I'm currently into color theory (additive vs Substractive...), I'm wondering why they put a red (called primary red) and not a magenta in the basic color kit.

Please try out from Amsterdam - Standard series - Royal Talens Acrylic - you get them in small 20 ml tubes, very good value for money

The Ogre's muscles just get larger with every application of paint. Guy is a total beefcake.

Just getting back into painting and your videos have been a huge help! Thank you! Question: What size (lb) of parchment paper do you use for the wet pallet?

I want to start an ogre-defense union... :-D Thanks Vince!

hey again, another question about these, what's the coverage like of these? i read on a few forums the regular scale75 line, the scale-colour, doesn't cover as well as vallejo for example, a lot more coats are required. What are your thoughts and how does the Artist line compare?

I honestly have a hard time figuring out why I should buy Scale75's hba over anyone else's, and I do like Scale75 (and I don't like heavy body acrylic). Is it better than that Vallejo heavy body (cheaper, semi-matte, also from a respected mini-paint producer)? Is it better than Schmincke or Golden? I didn't get that impression from the video, and it is likely to cost more per ml than even premium HBAs. I almost bought in to the kickstarter because of the brand but I don't even know what I would do with them if they had arrived in the mail. I already "paint unthinned on the model" with my beloved thick-ass Model Color and ScaleColor. Speaking of, I was shopping for Schmincke white heavy body after watching Vince's white painting video and I came across their airbrush inks. I bought a set of primary colors and I'm excited to see how they compare to FW. Any experience with them these at all?

How good are this paints to use in the regular method as base paints?

Vince, I have an unrelated question, can you wash acrylic water based paints over Vallejo alcohol based Liquid Metallics? Will the metallic activate or rust (over time) when introduced to water based mediums?

Are there any tones of the range you got which behave differently? They are out now. is the price reasonable compared to current products?

so the paints don't leave streaks on the models since they are not pre-thinned on a wet palette? what if i were to thin then like you did, would they just require a super number of coats to properly cover the model?

can a person use Jo Sonja 's paints with them as well and I talking about their tube paints .

Hi Vince! Two random, completely unrelated questions if I may... Do you have a place to except donations? I only discovered your channel a couple months ago, but have already learned more in those two months than I could tell you. I feel it's only right to give something in return for all the knowledge you have freely given me. Do you have a paypal tip-jar or anything like that? If not, please make one! Have you ever done (or plan on doing) a full beginning-to-end, soup-to-nuts video series on painting one of your competition level models? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the the Hobby Cheating series, but would also love to see you take one of your elite level minis through the entire process. Most especially, what you consider to be the "finishing" process. I've heard you discuss aspects of your finishing process, such as increasing saturation to make colors really pop, really going deep into smoothing all your blends, and how "finishing" can end up taking 50% if not more of your total time on a piece, but I'm a bit mystified as to what exactly goes into that finishing process for you. Not trying to give you a big, pain-in-the-butt assignment or anything, but that is definitely a part of the process I would love to see if you ever get around to it. Anyways, thank you so much for all the incredible tutorials you have put up over the years! It's all been a godsend for me over the last couple months and will continue to be my go-to channel for painting going forward.

Ive been doing some searching and i totally forgot about the Abteilung AK 502 acrylic tube paints. They have them at Michigan Toy Soldier. For some reason when i leave you a link to them the comment disappears. Any thoughts or opinion on them? They all seem but forgotten. There are no reviews or videos about them.

hey are these gel medium based like the other scale products or something else? im thinking of just purchasing a tube or two and seeing how i like them before committing to the sets. worst case i loose $20 instead of $350.

Aaand they just released the cost.. $4/tube roughly depending on Euro to Dollar from the european page, $6.29 on Scale75usa

What is your preferred flow improver?

Have you used their paints in the dropper bottles? If so, what do you think? Where is it made?>

Are you backing the new stuff that went on kickstarter today? I did think they actully had sendt you a sett of the new stuff and the link they had on the site was for the new stuff and not the review for the older stuff, i did see this one when you posted it, since i to had backed the full range, i have backed the new stuff to

Was looking into these sets recently and, as always, I turned to your channel for some info. Now that we have a price for these colors, with sets of 6 (I'm guessing sets is how they are dealing with flattening out the costs of colors that are more expensive by pairing them with some that are less expensive) running at around $36 or about $6 per tube, do you feel that these are overpriced compared to HBAs? My quick research seems to suggest that $6 x 3 = $18 for a 60ml liquitex tube puts these mostly in line with HBAs, which seem to vary from $10 to $25 depending on color. Does that sound like a fair assessment to you? The matte finish is quite appealing, and could imagine springing for some instead of buying HBAs from the local art store if you still rate them well now that you're aware of their final costs. Thank you!

If only they weren't 6 dollars for 20ml from the US site. Bought the starter set off the EU site since it was cheaper even with shipping them from Spain to the US. Looking forward to them regardless.

I have a question : Is "heavy body" paint what paint business marketing jargon is trying to communicate when they say their paint is "creamy"?

Hi, please forgive my English, I am not a native speaker. Sorry but I have a question, I am in a level between beginner and intermediate level, been use gw and av paint quite a lot on my miniature and Gundam because they won't leave any pen mark or trail, so really smooth coating, I was wondering if this will do the same? and will it suitable for my level cuz the name of the paint sounds really need some professional skill on painting. Thank you :)

They cost about 3.4 Euro's each, for me the normal paint colours are far more familiar than the weird hobby paint names, given how thick and pigmented these paints are, wouldn't go far further than standard miniature paints? Other than the wider range of colours of standard miniature paint sets what would be the benefit over using this set which contains 48 colours?

Hey Vince, have you tried Kimera paints already 🙂?

Are those single pigmented colours? considering the price as is, I imagine they'd use low quality pigments.

How well do these airbrush?

Vince I have a video request. This is probably a dumb question but it's been driving me insane especially since im gearing up for Armies on Parade. How do you keep dust/hairs off models and how to get them off efficiently??

they ok going through a airbrush the white pigments does not clump together when going through a airbrush.

Made the mistake of going in pretty deep on these as a beginner painter, I'm having a very difficult time working with them because they behave so differently than other miniature paints

Very, very matte is not how I'd describe them. They may not be as glossy as standard heavy body acrylics, but they are still very satin, noting even close to original Scalecolors.
