VALLEJO 72.180 Game Color Foundation Case – 80 bottles × 18 ml is a comprehensive set of water-based acrylic paints formulated for miniature painting, modelling and hobby projects.

These paints are water-soluble, quick-drying and compatible with brush and airbrush application when properly thinned, offering a convenient palette for hobbyists and modelers seeking uniform coverage and color consistency.

Advantages

The set offers a wide selection of foundation tones designed to deliver good coverage on primed surfaces and to facilitate subsequent layering or washes. Bottles are easy to handle and store, and the water-based formula simplifies thinning and cleanup. Fast drying time reduces waiting between coats, while color consistency across the range helps achieve predictable results on miniatures and small models.

How to use

Shake each bottle before use to ensure pigments are evenly distributed. For brush application, apply directly from the bottle and thin with water or a compatible acrylic medium to adjust flow and transparency; multiple thin coats produce more even coverage than a single thick coat. For airbrush use, dilute with water or a dedicated airbrush thinner to the recommended viscosity for your equipment, strain if necessary to avoid clogging, and test on a spare surface before proceeding. Allow adequate drying time between coats and seal finished models with an appropriate varnish if additional protection or a specific sheen is required.

Usage recommendations

Store paints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a primer suited to your substrate for best adhesion and color fidelity. When mixing or thinning, start with small adjustments and test the result. Cap bottles tightly after use to prevent skinning and contamination. For consistent results across projects, keep a record of thinning ratios and application settings.
