                        Go to Vallejo's site and click on Miniature and Model Colors. then Model Color. There's an excellent tutorial on the use of Vallejo paints at the bottom of the page. You can print it out for easy reference away form the computer.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
