Paint right out of the bottle is, 9 times out of 10, too thick for a good paint job. It needs to be mixed with some water. That requires a pallet.<br /><br />I know people who are more skilled at painting than I am, but who produce models that look worse than mine because they don't use a pallet.<br /><br />BTW, do you still carry those empty Vallejo paint bottles?Fulminatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332824290977548527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-75978158934989827922009-05-01T21:28:00.000-07:002009-05-01T21:28:00.000-07:00There was also this funny thing that would happen....There was also this funny thing that would happen. We sell empty dropper bottles and customers buy them to use with their Citadel paints.

This is one of those colors. Citadel painters should also know that Vallejo continues to offer discontinued colors that Games Workshop dropped.

Because I honestly can't. My eyes don't do yellow properly.<br /><br />When I paint, I tend to go by price and range.

Of course, I'll probably start using Citadel again as I run out of some Vallejo colors for convenience (no one local carries Vallejo), but there's a lot of colors that simply aren't in the Citadel line that I use.Fulminatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332824290977548527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-83171631367025777272009-05-01T16:54:00.000-07:002009-05-01T16:54:00.000-07:00I like the Citadel paints, after moving from Valle...I like the Citadel paints, after moving from Vallejo and then Reaper. What I like most is the system of foundation coats, base coats and washes.

Dammit people, even with the improved bottles, regular Citadel paints are crap!<br /><br />I heard someone the other day go "they added this little shelf on the inside of the cap so you can use that as your pallet" and I wanted to scream "yeah, in the meantime the rest of your paint is drying out because the cap is open!"<br /><br />Seriously, I like their washes and foundation series, but for regular paints both Reaper and Vallejo are superior.<br /><br />Now, when all your store has are Citadel paints I can understand going with Citadel as a matter of convenience, but there's just no excuse for people shopping at BDG.Fulminatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332824290977548527noreply@blogger.com
