¿Te has planteado hacer alguna vez videos en castellano?

Really depends on the painter I guess. I have a bit of OCD regarding my entire army having the same colors. So I absolutely HATE mixing paints. That's why for me - I'd rather have a bigger collection with all the shades pre-mixed on the factory.

This is what I was afraid of, I heard so much about thinning your paints before I started that all I've been doing was essentially glazing. That explains why every model takes me months to complete. But hey, at least I was doing glazing correctly! XD

How are the dark/wine reds and magentas?

You didn't experience the bubbling that every other reviewer commented on?

6:20 and the model afterwards still look very different to me! The finished model looks way more black, do you still paint them black afterwards?

Thx for the infos and sharing

Juan's next video: Making My Perfect 50 Set of Blues

Juan, you could take the worst paint ever made and still your models would look amazing!

I mean, because of the problems with game color finish, and it has nothing to do with the preferences...it has been truly horrible and I left my comment in your last, very useful game color review....I can't even give model color a chance until I know Vallejo improves its formula. I hope they do. Until this change, they were my number one favorite paint company since ever. Now, I'm literally picking up Citadel and Army painter over them, and AK is now the favorite range. It is truly a shame. But again, than you for the review, as always.

Dope tutorial, Juan you are the man

I'm trying to find where to buy these in the US for especially the new line of game color and model color as well as the express colors but in the US it seems to be a hard product to find especially down in Florida does anyone know of a store in the Miami Florida area that might carry this

The previous range of Vallejo washes were similar, weren't they? They work well on really textured areas but they're pretty useless on anything remotely flat - and weirdly goopy. I never worked out what they were actually intended for, but I found a couple of them useable for glazing in shadows when diluted down a lot with glaze medium.

I mostly use Vallejo. I'm fond of Xpress, being a beginner: they help so much to give basic shade and highlights without any efforts other than painting with them

Great to see that Vallejo's new Model Color is excellent. Shame about the washes however. Their sepia wash does the same thing and even worse: it dries a bit glossy (or my pot did).

I wonder if the reason the pigments seperating on the wet pallet is because of the water? They have their own thinner medium that the paint might be formulated to use in order to thin and remain in cohesion.

I love this. I feel like I learned a lot of techniques for each section, and since you explain your reasoning and thought process I feel like I can take a bunch of these techniques and apply them with different models/colors. I especially liked the glazing techniques.

Do you use the Metal Color line? Those have been the gold standard metallics for me in the market. When you say that game color silver is the best highlight on the market, does that include Metal Color silver and duraluminum?

Thank you so much!

I really wanted to see your red combination. That red pops for how you painted it. What was your B.S.L. colors for that?

God damn, that model came out looking great!

Vallejo paints review - Starts with advertising different brand of paints. 😂 Here in my local store, Vallejo is 1.9$ per bottle. Nothing beats this, unless you wanna buy the fancy expensive stuff like Citadel and the rest of the stuff.

Washes have never been Vallejo's strongpoint, in fact I'd say they're some of the worst on the market. Never use them.

I would have loved to see that video when i started with the hobby. Would have helped not buying so many colors i never use :-) Please do a part 2 for metallics and Contrast paints. Thanks

Pongo el video. Sale un logo. No se oye nada. Le doy al volumen. Sale otro logo, sigue sin oirse nada. Le doy mas al volumen. ¡¡¡¡¡¡HELLO!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

model colour is my go to "greys" haha. Those metallics look soo good!

Great vid

Using them for quite some time, excellent paints, use them alongside AK's 3rd gen. Here in Russia AK and Vallejo are historically more available and you can find them in any hobby shop. Tamiya and Mr. Hobby are even more available, but they are for scale models, very hard to paint a mini with 🙂 Personally, I was using Vallejo acrylics since mid 90s and never had any issues, like them a lot. P.S. Maaaan, that OSL is nuts. I was experimenting with OSL, which I never painted before and it always looks like shit 😂

How does the durability feel? The old model colour paint had a bad habit of coming off while i was painting. I got round this by using satin varnish as a save point but it would be nice to not need to do this. I never had this problem with the game colour paints so if they are both similar now that would be great

Nice review. I have seen some people complaiing about bubbles in these paints when you shake them a bit too vigorously. That wouldn't be a problem on its own, but allegedly, the new polyurethane medium makes popping them quite hard and it can even "trap them" in the paint on the model. I assume you would have mentioned it in the vid if you encountered this fenomenon during the test, but I will ask anyway

Planning to get the set of game colour (already have the older model colour set). Are the sets actually available yet? I can only find the individual paints for purchase.

You are the first influencers I've heard actually mention the quality of the dropper bottles. I LOVE them. I feel like I waste way less paint squeezing out onto the palette versus harder-to-squeeze bottles like the pro acryl bottles.

Hey Juan, in like 6 months you should do a "best of" for the new formulation from Vallejo. After using a bunch of the colors if you find like a top 20 or top 50 and it will give folks, like me, a place to start and try some of the better paints in the set. Like Tenebrous Grey from AK is the best :P Just an idea. Since us in this hemisphere don't get sets and have to order singles we could get the color choice we want based on recommendations.

Vallejo's Smoke color is great, their Transparent version makes painting large wooden areas on terrain super easy.

I appreciate your mini rant about some pigments being more transparent. Not every paint needs to be super opaque, in fact that can be a negative for some techniques. When they add in white pigment to increase coverage they are losing saturation, look at the AP red line for a great example.

Buena review y muy chula la mini, sobre todo la parte de la lámpara 😚👌 Al principio se ha notado un poco raro con los cortes, pero en general ha sido buen vídeo. Obviando que los amarillos son transparentes de por sí, hay alguno que hayas visto que sea opaco que cubra bien en alguna de las gamas?

I love them and they have earned a permanent home in my paint arsenal. I use multiple paint brands and these are near my main go to which basically means that I'm reaching for these most of the time. Thanks for the video brother!

Wow that OSL is 🔥

crazy there is no comments on the insane OSL on the inside of the cloak

If they are intended to be symbiotic, why they are two different lines and not one? What makes them different?

Juan, cómo saber que colores completarian la gama game color sin analizar toda la gama? Tienes alguna recomendación?

Gracias, maestro. I will have to pick some when I come back to Spain for summer!

The mini-segment on saturation and the trade off between opacity and de-saturation with the paints was very useful and definitely something I appreciate knowing before buying a new paint. So much so, I kind of wish it was discussion point in every paint review by everyone reviewing them. This was a great review. Truly. Comprehensive, in depth where it needed to be, and quite fair.

A note on the washes: I got a similarly weird pooling effect when shading an old-formulation Drakenhof Nightshade from GW over VGC Steel Grey. It begs the question whether the problem lies with the shade or with the paint underneath 🤔

I really wanted to love Vallejo but I couldn’t take the bubbles issue anymore as it ruined so many minis. Warpaint fanatic doesn’t have this issue so I know the issues isn’t on my end and lots of people have this same issue with the new Vallejo formula with bubbles drying and not popping and leave holes in your paint job. Such a shame as I love Vallejo as a company. Hopefully ones day they will re-release a version 2 of the formula to correct the issue

i love it, this will help the next time i need to paint something that looks, like it glows.

Thanks for the review Juan. Always respect your opinion. I would love a box set with all the paints organised though - all mine are just in a box I have to sift through 😢

Great video, definitely love Vallejo next to ak AK 3rd generation in my paint collection, thanks for highlighting the new paints.

Nope, ak interactive are the best paints
