New paint range, including mystery ink characteristic

[Andrew_McGuire]

I'm assuming this must be an industry first:

sounds like someone's Nocturna dream to me . . . .

the less than stellar English does not instil much confidence I must say.

Scale75 also spanish producer? very matt acrylics etc,

Sounds very similar..

but both existing manufacturers so... - wish them luck with it.

"Paint author"?

[Andrew_McGuire]

It says the paint's being produced in the UK by a famous manufacturer. It's a pity they didn't get them to write the copy, though, come to think of it, I would quite like to see vibrating ink, if only from a safe distance.

Speaking of Scale 75, however, I've had an email saying my pre-order for their Artist Smooth Acrylic range is about to be shipped. Unfortunately due to being financially squeezed when the pledge was due I had to downgrade my early bird 'I want it all' pledge with the luxury case and mediums to a 'pick your own' mix of ten (or maybe twelve tubes).

Cuttlefish Colors seem to be on track to deliver their pledges from next month, in case anyone's interested.

I'm still intrigued by this new range, though. Naturally I've asked myself," Do I really need another range of paints?" and equally naturally answered, "What does need have to do with it?

[Andrew_McGuire]

Just in case anyone was on the fence about this range, the creator has just introduced a second Earlybird round, which means, aside from slightly lower prices, that the KS exclusive highlander figure is now available again at no extra cost - but only for the next 23 hours. Your inks will still vibrate, as far as I know.

How so?

What's that got to do with it. It's a paint range, not a wargame rulebook....

If you don't take the effort to have your fully English Kickstarter proofread by a native speaker (not me, that's for sure!) that to me casts doubts on the dedication to quality of other aspects of the project.

I cannot speak about this particular product, but I've purchased a couple of minis from them before and it all went smooth. It could be due to to being based on the same region, but I also know of people from other countries getting stuff from them and didn't hear any complains about the company itself.
About the translation, I have to say YPU made a valid point, but it's an issue that unfortunately affects many non-native small companies. Anyway, I agree, these details speak of your whole bussiness to some extent.

Thanks for clarifying that. If that is a hang up for you, I get it. If I followed that rubric then there would be tons of things I'd never buy, because there are so many English speakers with crap spelling or grammar as is, let alone non-English speakers trying their best. My hang up is dropper bottle paints. I won't use them if I have better choices.
