Any thoughts on Vallejo Mecha Color?
- Thread starter allergies
- Start date
Only just got my hands on a couple of bottles but mainly as testers before I splash any more cash. I've only tested them on 54mm and military armour or larger at this point but when I've had to either touch up or add detail with a brush I haven't had any problems so I wouldn't imagine they'd not work with anything smaller. It's the usual Vallejo no brushmarks when painting by brush. Noticed that the paint wears off slower around often touched high points...but still wears off if you don't look after your piece of work. They remind me of harder wearing Vallejo Air. You might have to apply an extra coat occasionally but overall have decent coverage. One drawback is the limited palette but if you use it for what it's meant for it has most things covered. I wouldn't personally get any more of the metallics or effects paints such as oil and rust as I have too many of these as it is.
Sorry for the necropost, but I have used them on tabletop minis. They're very similar in most ways to the Model Air line, but have a shinier finish, and don't take washes / inks as well as most other paints inmy opinion. However they flow off a brush beautifully, and have a decent opacity, so they make a rather nice highlight layer (as long as you end with a matte sealer to unify the shininess).
