Paint set VALLEJO Game Color Specialist 8×18 ml – acrylic model paints, 8 colors

VALLEJO Game Color Specialist 8×18 ml is a set of acrylic model paints formulated for miniature painting, figure painting and small-scale model work. The kit contains eight 18 ml bottles of Game Color formula, offering consistent pigmentation and smooth application suitable for detailed brushwork, layering and blending. The paints are water-based, fast-drying and designed to thin easily for both brush and airbrush use, making the set a compact solution for tabletop gamers, hobbyists and model makers who need a compact range of ready-to-use colors.

Advantages

The paints provide high pigmentation and good coverage with controlled opacity for glazing and layering techniques. Their water-based acrylic formula dries quickly and adheres well to primed plastic, resin and metal miniatures. Bottles are packaged in 18 ml dropper-style containers that allow accurate dispensing and reduce waste, while the Game Color formulation is optimized for color consistency across batches. The series is compatible with common acrylic thinners and varnishes, enabling easy mixing and protection after painting.

Suitable for

• Painting tabletop miniatures and wargaming figures
• Detail work on scale models and small dioramas
• Layering, shading and glazing techniques
• Airbrushing when suitably thinned
• Color mixing and custom palette creation

Key specifications

• Contents: 8 bottles of acrylic paint, 18 ml each
• Formulation: water-based acrylic (Game Color)
• Finish: satin to matte depending on thinning and varnish
• Drying time: fast-drying (varies with layer thickness)
• Compatibility: suitable for primed plastic, resin and metal
• Application: brush and airbrush (when thinned)

How to use

Shake each bottle before use to ensure pigment is evenly distributed. Apply paint to a primed surface using a fine brush for details or a broader brush for larger areas. Thin with water or a compatible acrylic thinner when a smoother flow or translucent glaze is required; for airbrush use, thin to the manufacturer's recommended viscosity. Allow each layer to dry before applying further glazing or highlighting. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Prime miniatures with a suitable primer to improve adhesion. Test thinning ratios on a palette before airbrushing and use a retarder or flow improver for extended wet edge working. Finish painted models with a compatible varnish to protect the paint and adjust the final sheen.
