VallejoModel Color Basic Colors USA Set | Modeling Acrylic Paints | 16 Bottles x 18 ml (0.60 fl.oz.)

These are excellent paints. I'm new to miniature model painting but these paints are awesome compared to a few others I was trying. They're not cheap but the quality is great. They paint on smooth with small brushes and also easily dilute with water for an airbrush (where they go on so smooth).

Great paint for models and top quality. Very good coverage. Works great with brushes or thinned for air brush work.

If you are looking at this because you have never had a box of paint from Vallejo, I can say without a doubt that in terms of quality their Model Color paint line is above and beyond the best paint money can buy for painting miniatures and scale models while maintaining a large selection of colors at a reasonable price. Initially, for around 25-30 dollars I was very skeptical about these assorted paint sets but breaking the math down at the current listed price of $26.17 for 16 paints it comes out to ~$1.63 per paint, which is at least a dollar better than what any game store I've been to will sell these to you for on an individual basis, with retail outlets like Hobby Lobby charging as much as $5 a dropper bottle of the same size.Outside of pricing, what you get for your money is some of the best color, coverage, and smoothness of any paint, though like every acrylic product, do not think you can use this straight out the bottle, thin your paints with water, or, PREFERABLY something like Vallejo Glaze Medium for longer usability on the palette and better, smoother texture from the brush.I got this box because it comes with a nice medium tone, Flat Red color as well as the coveted Yellow Ochre which pretty much has the best opacity and deepest yellow out of any yellow paint I've ever tried, along with other great paints like basic blues, greens, and everything else you need to paint just about anything you can think of. I use these for both brushing and airbrushing just fine and again, so long as you thin them respectively for either medium they're perfect.If you've never tried Vallejo, get this box. If you have Vallejo and are looking for more colors, get this box.

Very easy to use. Can be thinned for smoother application. Recommend to clear coat for any item that will endure handling, as it rubs off easily.

We have used these paints for numerous gaming miniatures. We are pleased with the outcomes.

Bought a Hagrid figurine from Schleich. But the figurine was very poorly painted. So I had to edit it with Vallejo paints. The result was pleasing! Excellent paints for figurines. Easy to choose a color, mix well, cover the previous layer of paint well.

I actually took a risk and bought these "used like new" to save a few bucks. The packing has a heavy, not pleasant or unpleasant smell, like the original purchaser spilled some perfume or essential oils onto the outer box?Who cares!? The paints themselves are perfect!!! Nothing dried out, all paints appear full. I was very pleased. I cannot and will not spend hundreds of bucks to paint a few $5 minis. I MAY go pick up 3-5 more colors at Hobby Lobby (maybe), but honestly, if used on a simple wet palette (you can learn how to make on Youtube--all you need is a small tray, paper towels, and baking parchment paper), this color collection can REALLY give you everything you need to make any color you are looking for. THE PERFECT BASIC SET TO GET YOU STARTED.I recommend any new or moderately experienced painters to check out Kujo Painting on Youtube. He has AMAZING, SHORT tutorials, that will help you understand how to mix colors, as well as how to paint textures like leather, metals, skin, even fabric patterns like "plaid" on a smooth 25mm-28mm miniature surface. Best tutorials on Youtube, I feel like I checked out ALL they other mini artists, Kujo Painting is far and away the best (and he uses tons of Vallejo products, he really likes the paints with their pigments & consistency). Good luck, painter friends!💖

I’ve been painting with Vallejo for a while now. Highly recommended.
