Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl Expansion Set #2 - Transparents! Acrylic Model Paints for Plastic Models - Miniature Painting, no-clog cap, comes loaded with glass agitator

I have recently branched out to new brands of miniature paint and of the ones I have, I have found myself using Pro Acryl more than any other. The coverage is great, has pretty high pigments, and they are very consistent. Of course, some colors do cover better than others, but the quality of these paints still means less coats. You do not have to thin them down as much as other paint brands either. I use these in airbrushes as well, which does well.This set is expensive compared to quite a few others, but I believe it is well worth the money for fewer paint colors but significantly better quality paint. The consistency between colors is very good, meaning you do not have some colors thicker than others. They mix very well together.

Over a year ago, I watched a video in which the uploader used Monument Pro Acryl Titanium White to paint some small details on the kit he was building. I don't remember the user, the kit, or anything else, but I remembered the paint, purely because I have had such a bad time with white paint in the past, and this white went on so smoothly and so uniformly... Unfortunately, at the time, I couldn't find the paint.Fast forward to now, and this company is finally selling their paint on Amazon (they also apparently have their own website), and I knew I had to check out this legendary white. After some deliberation, I ended up buying this entire set - it's expensive and full of colors I might never use, but paint keeps for a long time and it's overall a better value to buy a big set like this, so I took the plunge.Listen. It needs to be said. This paint is perfect. I have used Vallejo and Citadel and Createx and even the dubious dollar Walmart paints, and before this, I had settled on Citadel being the best in the business for brushing... But no more. As long as this company makes these paints with the level of quality that I found in this set, it will be my go to.Each bottle has a mixing ball in it, which honestly feels premium. Small touchups become a breeze. The paint is very thin right out of the container, though you may need to thin it more depending on what you're painting. It thins nicely with distilled water, and I've found that it goes through my airbrush excellently at ~35psi after being thinned at about 1:1 paint to water. The pigmentation is strong and the coverage is great.It gets 10 stars. I hope to use this paint for a long time.

They are cheaper, you get more and the coverage is better than any other paint ive used

Great coverage, different than traditional inks so experimentation is necessary, but overall quality product. Bottle caps/tips are a bit messy, but NBD

Great bottle design. Agitator is a great touch. Box came SUPER crushed and ripped. Looked like a pit bull tried to eat it at some point. Paints all seem to be OK though. I have a few of the expansion sets as well. Very much pleased with the viscosity and pigment. In a lot of ways I like the control over this paint more than my vallejo or GW paint lines. I haven't quite figured them out through an airbrush, though. Very matte finish (which is ideal) and VERY fast dry time, which is also great but had me cleaning out my brush twice as often than other paint brands. Makes wet blending very difficult. They do glaze well and layering is easy to hide if you thin a little and work slow. There white is quite possibly the best white paint I've ever used in my life. SUPER punchy. Will make you want to throw any other white you have directly in the trash. Will definitely be a return customer as long as there isn't a huge price increase. Definitely going for some of the signature series asap (looking at you, Ninjon)

I'd recently ordered their base set after hearing such good reviews of this line of paints. Unfortunately, I started having issues with USPS around the time it was supposed to arrive and noticed the package had been returned to sender. I contacted the guys at monument hobbies and let them know of my issue, and they promptly reshipped my package via a different shipping service and received it quickly and hassle-free. I appreciate the extra help with shipping, and have thoroughly enjoyed the set since they arrived. The paint is extremely pigmented for how thinned it is, and every color I've used so far has dried more evenly matte than anything else I've owned besides AK's newer line. I definitely plan to buy more of their expansion and signature sets soon. Thank you.p.s I have since fixed my USPS issues, but that wasn't relevant to the review.

I've tried a few other of the main miniature paint brands and I fell in love with these the first time I used them. I'm now working on getting the entire set and use them for 90% of the mini painting I do. Coverage is great, they're the right consistency straight from the bottle, and they dry to a nice matte finish. The included ball mixer is great, especially when using a vortex mixer.

These are my new favorite paints. However, I’m docking them a star because I don’t like the mustard lids. Having to pay an extra $6+ depending on how many paints you buy to get decent lids is a real pain.
