What do you think to Vallego paints DB? My number one son rates them highly, although I have always used mainly Citadel, Foundry or Revell.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Vallejo were my go-to for custom repaints in War at Sea days, more convenient for me to get and one of the Forumini crew had pre-built the cross-reference on them for our game. Also liked the easy cleanup (which is common for most acrylic brands) and portability where I could throw a few bottles and a small box with several minis into dead-space in my laptop bag.Originally Posted by Bligh
I USED to use Testor Model Master for my entire modeling life, but that's problematic with them going the way of the dinosaur. Revell's only just now spinning up over here trying to fill the hole in the market, don't have any experience with Citadel or Foundry. (I avoid Games Workshop stores like they were plague ships...)

I still have two cans of Testor dullcoat and am guarding it like gold DB. It is the only thing I have found which will disguise the opaque bloom that sometimes clouds the models when you varnish them in unsuitable weather conditions.
Foundry colours have been my paint of choice for years because they give you three paints in the same colour, light, the basic colour, and shade. Also a friend of mine used to run the Company's Nottingham HQ. They were also in direct competition with Workshop and very handy for me to visit. Unfortunately they have now moved to near Newark which means a longer trip for supplies, and you can't just walk in anymore.
I have a few Revell paints but they are not easy to find locally. Vallejo are now obtainable at Hobbycraft, so I will give them a go when we can get into the shop again.
