Life Color paints?
« on: 18 November 2015, 03:19:04 PM »
Looking at these paints as they sell a set for WW2 Italian Camo Patterns that looks interesting for my Abyssinia and WW2 East Africa games:

Anyone have any experience with them? How is the paint quality? Do they work well in an airbrush?

Thanks for the advice...

I only have a couple of specific shades.  I find they perform well both air and standard brush, dry very flat and from that point of view would recommend them.  On the other hand they are slightly smelly in the pot, a thinners type aroma, and are not as cheap or as easy to obtain as say Vallejo hence the just a couple of shades.

Good enough for me. My main concern is the airbrushing. They have some useful stuff for Italians, so I'm willing to give the a go. Thanks for the advice!  :)
