Vallejo - Model Color Effects Wood & Leather Set | Modeling Acrylic Paints | 8 Bottles x 18 ml (0.60 fl.oz.)

Top quality Vallejo set, the step by step guide is a plus.

Most people know that Vallejo makes some of the best miniature paints available, it's by far my favorite line. I've always had problems with brown recipes for my minis and never could find a combination that made me happy. After trying out their NMM set like this I figured this would be crucial to improving my leather and wood paintjobs.All in all this set is awesome. In the NMM set they have essentially two recipes, in this they have several. They show you how to get different types of wood grain colors in one example (the shield), showing you that you can mix and match or just use one recipe for all your wood. On top of that they show you several leather recipes that are extremely versatile, and although they show you a weathered look you can adapt it to your style - I've made my recent attempts more smooth. The red leather recipe is my favorite and I've been getting a lot of mileage out of it.Much like the NMM set they released the instructions are somewhat vague, although I think they do a much better job in this set. Much like my recommendation in the NMM set I highly suggest getting Vallejo Glaze medium and Thinner Medium, for making glazes, washes and using an airbrush if you have one. They heavily use washing techniques in this set and the others, and just watering it down doesn't have the same quality or consistency. Washing with the Woodgrain color is amazing.This set has definitely helped improve me game with brown...

These paints helped round out a start kit I have that is missing some earth tones. Some shades are similar, but you can create good effects with these, and I recommend.The paint itself goes on smooth, and dries quickly. I haven't had any issues with these paints.

Trust me when I say I am not good at stuff like this. My friend printed this mug on a 3d printer in brown and asked if I could paint it for him. I just recently started painting some of the items he prints just for fun, exploring a new possible hobby. I bought this paint set and I have to say I am impressed. They include step by step instructions on how to achieve the look of wood or leather. I followed them to the letter and you see the results. I'm sure if you were more experienced it would come out even better, but for a newbie, this was so easy. I would definitely recommend this set. Pics show the mug primed, painted, then final poly coat shine. (primer and poly shine not included)

I was pleasantly surprised with these paints. I bought this for a ship I was building and had no previous experience with Vallejo. The paint goes on easy and evenly with great color after drying. Using a good primer goes a long way, but this paint is perfect for plastic models.

es vallejo que se puede decir

Another great paint set from Vallejo the instructions that come with it give clear ways to make both wood and leather look to your project. Right now I am using the leather technique to help add some realism to my Death Dealer model kit. Trust me when I say this has helped me a great deal as there is leather details through out the model kit. I recommend you pick this one up if your wanting a bit more realistic look to any of your model or other projects that call for a wood or leather detail.

The paints are top quality and the painting instructions included inside are a fat, intuitive way to start learning how to paint realistic leather and wood textures on your models or miniatures. Vallejo makes several different curated sets like this one, and they've all been winners for me.
