Thanks for talking about your experience with the craft store paints, BK!
I use them mostly now on my figures, and my toy soldiers. Very easy to use, with my wet palette, and easy to blend and mix colors. I use other brands, made specifically for modeling, like Andrea, Vallejo Model Color, Lifecolor, too. The craft store brands are useful for weathering, too. For example, I use burnt siena and burnt umber for washes. And at the low prices, they’re economical.
I may play with them again for airbrushing, too.
Best regards,
Brad
