Acrylic paint set VALLEJO 80.259 — 8×8 ml multicolour

VALLEJO 80.259 is an acrylic paint set that contains eight 8 ml bottles in assorted flesh and related tones, formulated as water‑based acrylics. The set is designed for painting a variety of skin tones on miniatures and models and includes a step‑by‑step tutorial guide to help achieve consistent results for adventurers, NPCs and other figures in tabletop RPGs and scale modeling.

Advantages

The paints are water‑based and fast‑drying, offering good workability for layering and blending. Bottles are compact 8 ml sizes suitable for hobby use, and the curated selection of colours simplifies mixing and matching skin tones. The included tutorial provides guided steps that make it easier to reproduce realistic flesh effects on small figures.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and tabletop RPG figures
• Scale model detailing and touch‑ups
• Hobby crafts requiring small amounts of paint
• Layering, glazing and colour mixing exercises

When it may not be suitable

This set focuses on flesh and related tones and may not include all hues needed for full miniature palettes, such as vivid greens, metallics or highly saturated fantasy colours. For large surface projects or cases that require large paint volumes, the 8 ml bottles may be insufficient and a larger‑format paint or additional sets could be preferable.

Key specifications

• Composition: water‑based acrylic paints
• Volume: 8 bottles × 8 ml each
• Colour range: curated assortment of flesh and related tones
• Finish: matte to satin depending on application and thinning

How to use

Shake each bottle before use and apply with fine brushes suited for miniature work. Thin with water or an acrylic medium for glazing and smoother blends; build up tones in thin layers for better control of highlights and shadows. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers; use the included step‑by‑step tutorial as a guide for painting skin tones and achieving gradual transitions.
