VallejoGold Model Color Paint, 17ml

I saw some poor reviews from people who seemed to think this was for pottery glazing, or some other purpose. This is intended to allow you to apply very thin, translucent layers of acrylic paint to a miniature. It allows you to get very saturated colors without obscuring details by applying thick coats of paint. It's very good for that purpose. I'll definitely be buying quite a bir more of it!

This putty works great IF you understand what you're getting and how you'll use it. First off, this putty DOES NOT dry rock hard as the description and bottle says it does. As others have said, it dries to a "rubbery" consistency and isn't really sandable. It is water soluble so you can remove excess putty with water. Knowing those two things, I use this putty for filling small gaps or fixing deep out of scale panel lines. Here's how I use this putty.I take a toothpick and cut one of the sharp ends off. I then take a pair of pliers and compress the end to make it flat, like a small trowel. I put a small amount of the Vallejo putty on the flat end of the toothpick and work it into the gap, adding more putty as needed. I wait about 10 - 15 minutes and wipe away the excess with a damp cotton swab, leaving the putty in the gap. The goal isn't to build up a large amount then sand it down but to get the putty into the gap where it can harden. To test the line, I airbrush a layer of black primer over the gap. If more filling is needed, I repeat the process. So far, I've been able to get pretty decent results.

I can't say enough about this product! I have been using this to thin my GW paints 1/1 and it has two excellent benefits.1. It acts as a mild retarder. I used to have issue painting the eyes on miniatures as the tiny amounts of white or black would dry on the brush before I could place it. This stuff helps keep the paint moist long enough to get the pain on the miniature!2. It works a bit better than water when thinning your paints for transparent blending, as it's a little bit thicker than water and gives you a bit more control over your thinned paint.

This is nice brush on varnish. I use the gloss on the eye balls of beholders, spectators, and on those things that should have a wet look.

I used this to fill gaps between the seams of Bandai models. Sometimes even after sanding and press-fitting, gaps still appear. Applying this putty with a damp flat brush helps it flow into the gaps and fill them. You can easily wipe off the excess before it dries. When sanded and painted, the putty fill is barely noticeable. I recommend this to improve the overall look of your models.

I got back into an old hobby and had old Citadel paints laying around. Half were completely dried out, but some were still salvageable.. Just threw in a number of drops into each and let it sit for a few days. Then a couple more drops, shaken, and it was good to go. Usually for fresh paints a 1:1 ratio is all you need.

Vallejo makes a... Mask. Whether in the 'pen-type' or this much better form. The 'pen-type' dries-up much faster and has caused me more problems due to this than any real masking tape or this, much-easier-to-use format. Buy this one and leave the 'pens' to be returned to Vallejo.

This putty is the best I've ever used. It flows smoothly and easily from the bottle and fills beautifully. There's no drying up at the end of a tube. I highly recommend this.

This glaze makes everything look better. Except the mother-in-law.

I tried a competitor product, but that was super runny and I didn’t like the results. Then I tried Vallejo and I am very impressed. Let’s just say it is my “go to” for model making from now on.

Top quality product that you would expect from vallejo.

Very good I brought it to illuminate my door number at night and I covered it with a waterproof paint for the black background very good

This is advertised as being a float tip paint. Well, from my experience it is far too watery and fails to stick whatsoever.I’m off to hobbycraft tomorrow to find a paint that does stick.The only plus is that all the drips that didn’t stick look brilliantly bright on the work surface!
