[QUOTE="nyrfherdr, post: 1935726, member: 3394"] I'll second Pogre, Drachenherz, very nice mini's. I love your purple dragon. On Adikolor paints... I've given up on them. I bought a set of them and the squeeze bottles are nice and the color range was pretty good. The paint was thin, pigment small, but it continued to leave bubbles on the minis. Even using different things to thin the paint. I contacted the company and had no luck getting a resolution. Also, an agitator is almost imperative because the pigment will separate out quickly from the solvent (water) leaving an unusable pot of paint. I don't know if it was a bad batch or not, but I used them for several months working around the bubbles, but finally decided it wasn't worth it and scrapped the lot. I have had good luck with Valejo (sp?) and just purchased some Reaper Masters. I'll post a review after New Years when I get a chance to try them out. On Paints in general: I would recommend to everyone that they purchase a couple of bottles of any paint color they like. Try different brands and different types of paint. You will find that different paints give you different results. Results you may love. I have used craft paint exclusively on mini's and gotten great results. Check out my mini thread. It has many craft paint only figures. See if you can guess which ones are which. Vallejo and other paints are great too. Especially for more subtle shading and highlighting effects. I have several paint types in my bag of tricks and use them all at different times for different effects. You will find your own style requires your own paint. Experiment and find what works for you. Game ON! Nyrf [/QUOTE]
