Jeff Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I do sincerely hope it is just nonsense and a rumor....... I do like the paint and it has been a staple of my model work for ever..... LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I've increasingly switched to Vallejo acrylics, but still use a lot of MM enamels, especially in the airbrush. Such cruel people out there! LSP_K2 and Jeff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Guys, no one ever tell you about Vallejo? Their paints are light years ahead of Model Master, whose acrylics gunk up over time even in their unopened bottles.

Jeff Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I am wary of acrylics, ONLY because, I tried them years ago, ( I know things have changed) and I had far less than a satisfactory result, I guess for me it was a case of being used to enamels, and not sure what to do or how to get the desired results................... I now have a HUGE data base, and a family to help ( YOU GUYS), so I guess, IF this is made to be true, I suppose I should step into the 19th Century at least and try new things.....apparently trying new things keeps your brain from turning to mush, so 'they' say...... I'm sure if I do change over, I will be the guy asking all the dumb questions...... LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I was great paint. I can't cross over from enamel, that would be a hobby breaker for me. That said, this rumor pops it's head up every 6 or 8 years. I doubt it's true What kind were you Ron?? Jeff and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) You do t use Gunze, Brian? Its pretty rare around here Ernst. TBH, My LHS may have 1 or 2 bottles of it, and maybe some primer, but they dont carry the range, and occasionally, they dont have anything Gunze. Guys, no one ever tell you about Vallejo? Their paints are light years ahead of Model Master, which gunk up over time even in their unopened bottles. lol - - I love MM. They never EVER clog for me, and flow super DUPER smooth! Arent all Vellejo acrylic? I have some of the model air paint, and they are great, but they dont shoot as smooth as enamels do; not even close. Dont get me wrong, acrylics do have their place for me, but enamels are where its at for me personally.

Enamels are too brittle, are easily-damaged by washes, stink and require strong solvents to clean up. They do go on finer-grained than acrylics, but the Vallejo paints have a flatter, duller surface sheen that looks more like paint exposed to the elements. But as you say, it's a personal choice.

Jeff Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Well, I do certainly hope everyone is right, I was surprised that this came from a VERY reputable Hobby shop here on B.C. I hate rumors and silly stuff like this, I have better things to worry about... in my world anyway... Rick Griewski and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 In retrospect, if I'd had more advance notice that the Aeromaster paints were going to be pulled, I would have bought 12 of everything they had. I still have a couple dozen, but they were awesome paints. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I need some more dull coat spray so maybe I will pick up four cans. Hedge the bets. Rick Jeff and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Best dull coat EVER is Valejo Matt Varnish. (drops microphone)Totally agree. The dull coat is mainly used on other projects. I have switched over to Model Air as my Gunze supply becomes exhausted. Mind the air brush tip with a bit of thinner once in a while and all is well.
