I've never used Vallejo oto brush paint a parge surface such as a ship. I'd airbrush the base coat of even a 54mm horse. Just takes too long, Joe. The other issue with a ship might be accuracy of color, since Vallejo is geared toward uniforns or tradional colors from the oil paint colors, colors with strange names like cadmium umber red and prussian blue.

I use Vallejo and Andrea almost exclussively for my figures. They were formulated for brush painting and are geared specifically for figures. When properly layered, they yeild a blended transiton as good as oils. The finish is beautifully smooth from a brush. The regular line can be airbrushed if thinned adequately, but I generally prefer enamels in the AB.

Hi dude, a lot of people do paint their armour and aircraft kits with Vallejo paints, they use Vallejo Model Air which is pre-mixed for the airbrush as well as Vallejo Model Colour for brush paintin' with.

Vallejo have a vast range of colours and shades, and all these colours and shades complement each other when it comes to mixin' highlight' and shade colours. The quality of the paints are superb too, all givin' good coverage.
