When you’re painting miniatures, you may be tempted to use paints that are specifically designated for the hobby. But what if you want to try a new paint color or texture?
Vallejo paints and supplies can be used on any type of miniature, from heroic knights to diminutive goblins. They offer a wide range of colors and mixes, so you can create any look you want.
Some tips for using Vallejo paints:
1. Be aware of the surface your miniature is painted on. Some surfaces will require different paint types than others. For example, metal should be painted with a metallic paint, plastic with a plasticizer paint, and acrylics with an acrylic gloss sealer.
2. Test out the colors before applying them to your miniature. This will help ensure that your final product looks as expected and doesn’t have any unexpected effects.
3. Apply thin coats of paint to achieve the desired effect. Thicker layers will result in more coverage, but may also be harder to work with and require more time to dry.
4. When painting details or highlights on your miniature, use small brushes instead of large ones so that you don’t lose detail in the process.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, these paints are perfect for adding realism and detail to your miniatures.
