Title: Seriously, another paint thread?
Post by: Andrew_McGuire on March 14, 2019, 03:08:58 PM: Admittedly, it will only be a thread if others contribute. All I have to offer at the moment is links to two KS campaigns I've just seen (one of which I've backed):

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/culturehustle/the-blackest-black-paint-in-the-world-black-30?

BTW, has anyone used Colour Caster Pro Acryl paints? Much enthused over by at least one YouTube reviewer.

There were a number of glitches - the most serious being a severe undercalculation of shipping costs due to a misplaced decimal point in the Backer Kit form which led to parcels being returned - but it seems to have been resolved now.

I have about 8-10 colors that I've been using mostly for spot base-coating and some weathering. They're very pigment-dense - much like Scale 75.

I still haven't got any, mostly because the postage is quite high, irrespective of the size of the order. Additionally, I've recently discovered Instar paints...

Post by: Woot on September 23, 2019, 02:34:49 AM: I've spent several hours this weekend trying out the Cuttlefish Colors paints and overall, I rather like them! I've posted a review here: https://imgur.com/gallery/B47dd3h (https://imgur.com/gallery/B47dd3h)

(Please let me know if posting that link is bad etiquette; I can copy & paste my text and link images here, if that's better. Just wanted to save myself some work.)
