Imren Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Fed up dousing your models with contrast paint? Do you want paint that needs no shaking, and that you can control the thickness/thinness 100%?

Atia Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I don't get it? Is this just advertising for some acrylic paints? What has contrast to do with it?

Atia Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I love scale 75 these actually look awesome haha They are, but I still don't get the OP. They have nothing to do with Contrast, or the concept of Contrast paint, right?

They have nothing to do with Contrast, or the concept of Contrast paint, right? No they don't, quite the opposite. These you blend, layer, glaze etc as regular paints, but these are thick as oilpaint (good for drybrushing) and can be thinned down to airbrushing consistency. No I'm not advertising them, I'm not affiliated with Scalecolor at all. I just found out about those colours and found them interesting. I just mentioned contrast colour as a tagline as they are quite the opposite of how this paint range should be used.

InquisitorVonTansburg Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I actually have a set of these after supporting the Kickstarter campaign. I have to say these are VERY nice paints with high pigment density and a very matte finish. I haven’t tested them thoroughly, but I have thinned them down to airbrushable consistency and they still gave very good coverage with the same nice finish. However I guess they are not for everyone. They are very nice for people who like to mix their own colours and who like on model / wet blending due to their good consistency and slightly longen drying time.

DarkMark Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The overall set looks a lot like the acrylics W&N produce. Scale 75 are my preferred brand but I'm not sure why I would take the new line when purchasing, say W&N, is cheaper and easier from a local art shop. I still may grab a small box just to see though.

Fajita Fan Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 How do you guys thin really thick artist acrylics? I got some thick Arteza paints for acrylic flip cup pouring art and they’re suuuuper heavy. I can try some Liquitex medium but what to you stir with to get it smooth?

sockwithaticket Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 No doubts about S75's quality (I use a alot of their regular paints), but I don't really see these as being worth adding to your paint collection unless you're working on big things like busts or 75mm models. Maybe if you do a lot of vehicles. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359889-new-paint-line/#findComment-5432858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use artist colors that come in a tube. You mix them on your palette with water.
