I used to have various others too like Tamiya and Vallejo which I liked as they were not glossy at all. Vallejo is my favourite at the moment its got an ultra matt and very smooth finish, downside is that it chips easy so you need a bit of varnish to protect them. <br /><br />As I was getting a complete new set my choices were down to Vallejo, Reaper, and Privateer Press, I could get hold of Vallejo far easier than Reaper and they were cheaper than Privateer, I'd still like to try Reaper and Privateer though.Dave Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971721667055138594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697180706518982312.post-54597525023356125072009-10-22T16:02:37.918-07:002009-10-22T16:02:37.918-07:00I've been using Citadel colors forever—just be...I've been using Citadel colors forever—just because they are easy to get. Then, I bought a single bottle of Privateer Press' paints. Wow. If this paint is any indication of quality of Vallejo or Foundry paints I should really switch over. Developing new color combos will be a pain, but I'm definitely going to invest in non-Citadel paints when they dry out (which won't be long).Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759810100407996847noreply@blogger.com
