i'd be really interested in your video on the washes, inks etc!

[DingoPaints]

I have wondered why Vallejo has so many different types of paint. You explained it so easily it all makes sense now. Thank you. I think I will add a few mecha colors to my paint range now. Just starting airbrushing so good time to try the Mecha

[philadrian]

Great explanations. Thanks a lot. I couldn’t decide between the model and game colors because I didn’t know the difference. Now I’m confident buying either one. So I just might buy both! 😁 thanks!

[DavidRelich]

Great video, thank you! Also, excellent idea painting the caps so one can see right away what colour it is, without having to pick up and shake the bottle!

Panzer Aces (if I remember my conversation with Alex Vallejo) were actually born out of the Panzer Aces magazine. If you were one of the first people to sign up for a subscription when the magazine first started, you got 6 Panzer Aces paints with each magazine for the first 8 issues. Once the magazine ran through their allotment, Vallejo released the Panzer Aces line as a separate line. The line has some great utility colors, like rust colors, dirt color, rubber, wood, etc, that you generally didn't see in the other lines. Mind you at the time that Panzer Aces came out, only the Model Color range was available(on the model side), and not the plethora of lines we have now.

Nice video! I really like the Nocturna sets, I wish Vallejo makes a blue and green variant as well.

[AlecksMiaMosch]

Very informative. Thank you very much! :)

[andrewamann]

Massively informative, thank you! I'm not much of a Vallejo paint guy, though I do dig the various mediums they have available.

Then again, I'm at an oddball point in my own painting journey... Doing a lot of mixing acrylic artist inks into mediums to (sort of...) make my own paints, and tumbling down the rabbit hole of oil paints, as of late, so shifting off of my preferred premixed line is sort of a chase that I need a reason to dive into.

The metal color line might be one of those reasons, though, if I can find it locally.

Top tier video thanks for the explanation

[Alador.]

I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you so much for the video =) ! I was so confused about all of those paint ranges, now I feel more comfortable with buying my first set!
I plan to use both brush and airbrush, so I was hesitating between a Game set and Mecha set. My instinct would be to choose the Mecha for improved durability, maybe I ask for your opinion about this?

[micl]

OH OH Dude, I have that "Panzer Aces Dark Rust" for chipping and I love it!

Thank you for the information, somehow I got some different Vallejo lines and now I know what they are

greetings from germany

Saludos Don, 2nd time I watch this video, because I’m thinking about giving the Vallejo Mecha colors a try, since I’ve been using mostly MrColor I want to be able to detail my kits and lacquers paint are not quite friendly when painting in top of it. Thanks for the video 😎👍🏼

I’ve been using the Game Color line for several years. Really like it as an alternative to the Citadel range. They thin very well for airbrushing too.

[George-]

I airbrush model color because I like the bigger color selection that line has, also I prime and varnish with mecha color so as to make my paintjob more durable because I paint mostly gunpla kits.

[canton]

for me it is about consistency, sure I can try to mix and match colors using primary colors but when I have a project like painting a entire army of miniatures from the same faction I want the same blue or red etc

[natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas]

Great explanation, as always. I’m a long time user of Vallejo colors, mostly the airbrush ones and I can confirm their durability. For instance try not to paint Mecha colors over pegs in a gunpla as this may make difficult to insert the pegs or limit movement with possibly breaking the peg (I talk from experience 😉). Also the thinning ratio changes with colors and range of colors too. Your thinning sauce is fantastic and your book is a great reference on thinning ratios.

AV started in New Jersey in 1965 and didn't move to Spain until 1969 and their paints were made for animation cells but yup Vallejo paints are really good

Hello! Long time watcher, I think this is my first time posting. Vallejo paints are one of my go-to brands for painting. I've been using the model colors for painting miniatures for a long time. I've only more recently started working with an airbrush, and only started to feel competent with an airbrush last year. Anyway, a few observations: I was working on a giant robot model recently, using Mecha Color Yellow Ochre in my airbrush. Going back in with a regular brush to fix a few spots where my masking tape slipped, I decided in the spirit of experimentation to try hand-painting with Model Color Yellow Ochre. It was very, very close, but there was a slight difference in pigmentation. Second observation - Mecha Color actually works pretty well with a regular brush. I had a patch where I was between compressors, and decided to pull out a cheap 30MM model to paint by hand. It isn't as paint-efficient as using the airbrush, but the coats went on smooth and strong regardless.
