How did we get our start?
Since Amadeo Vallejo founded the company in New Jersey (USA) back in 1965 and before returning to Spain, the core of Vallejo’s business has always been the development of acrylic colors; from the late ‘60s for animation studios, through the first acrylics for fine arts manufactured in the ‘70s, to the first ranges for modeling formulated in the early ‘90s.
What makes our products unique?
They are the first acrylics for fine arts.
Why do we love what we do?
The core axis of the brand strategy stems from its main values: Know-how, Proximity, Experience, and Quality.

About Us
The Vallejo Company was established in 1965. In the first years the company specialized in the manufacture of Film Color, waterbased acrylic colors for animated films (cartoons). In 1969 the company moved to Spain; in those years many important cartoon studios were based in Europe. The special qualities and unique formula of Film Color soon became known, and the product was used by most of the important studios on the continent.In 1972 Amadeo Vallejo developed Acrylic Artist Color, the first acrylic for fine arts manufactured in Spain, and one of the first acrylic colors for artists produced in Europe. In this period, Vallejo also introduced Liquid Watercolor-colors for graphic design.

---|---|---|
Mecha ColorsNew formula acrylic colors with a satin finish, extra resistant and impact proof especially designed for airbrushing surfaces exposed to aggressive manipulation. Once dry, the Mecha surface looks the same as the original plastic of the model, while yet the smallest details of the original remain clearly visible.Mecha Color is not flammable and does not contain solvents. |
Game Air & Game ColorMost of the colors in Game Air have their equivalents in Game Color, so that the modeler can combine both formulations and work simultaneously with a brush or an airbrush.The colors preserve all the smallest details of the model, they dry very quickly and after a few hours form a homogenous film of extraordinary resistance.Game Air performs exceptionally well on all surfaces; the adherence of the colors on resin, plastic, steel and white metal is extraordinary.Game Air is not flammable and does not contain solvents. |
Diorama EffectsThe placement of our model in a diorama or vignette gives it a reality, a background and a history, an added dimension and a reason for the humidity, the traces of mud, of the dry sand of the desert or the dark earth of the wooded landscapes of central Europe.The range of Diorama Effects offers the modeler everything needed for the reproduction of a terrain, with effects of sandy and dusty roads, or of snow, mud and water, all of which add to the realism of the setting and relate the model to its environment.Diorama Effects is not flammable and does not contain solvents. |

Yup they sure do and very well too. Now I don't have to put up with the smell of the chemicals used in o ther paints.
The pigments are bright, it's easy to thin to obtain the desired effect - I used brushes and sponges.
Is it worth a premium price? We are definitely beyond academic or low budget paints but I can't tell if it is worth the fuss.
One of the bottles came with a broken cap; apparently this is quite common and I was able to 3d print a new one.

Outside of pricing, what you get for your money is some of the best color, coverage, and smoothness of any paint, though like every acrylic product, do not think you can use this straight out the bottle, thin your paints with water, or, PREFERABLY something like Vallejo Glaze Medium for longer usability on the palette and better, smoother texture from the brush.
I got this box because it comes with a nice medium tone, Flat Red color as well as the coveted Yellow Ochre which pretty much has the best opacity and deepest yellow out of any yellow paint I've ever tried, along with other great paints like basic blues, greens, and everything else you need to paint just about anything you can think of. I use these for both brushing and airbrushing just fine and again, so long as you thin them respectively for either medium they're perfect.
If you've never tried Vallejo, get this box. If you have Vallejo and are looking for more colors, get this box.

Självkrav, man behöver tillköpa några färgar till sina miniatyrer, typ shades, andra färgar för highlights och så vidare.
There may be better sets to buy if you have a particular theme in mind but if you're painting lots of different things and are more interested in the painting side of the hobby this is probably the one to get as it has widest range of colours.
La consistencia de la pintura es notable, con una cobertura suave y uniforme que se adhiere bien a una variedad de superficies. La pigmentación es fuerte, lo que significa que un pequeño producto puede ir un largo camino, y los colores se pueden mezclar entre sí para crear tonos personalizados, lo que aumenta aún más la versatilidad del set.
Cada bote de pintura viene en un tamaño práctico que es fácil de manejar y perfecto para mantener la frescura del producto entre sesiones de pintura. Además, el secado rápido de las pinturas acrílicas es una ventaja para aquellos que desean trabajar en múltiples capas sin largos periodos de espera.
Sin embargo, es importante señalar que, aunque la calidad general es sólida, los principiantes en el modelismo pueden necesitar algo de práctica para obtener los mejores resultados, especialmente en lo que respecta al mezclado y la aplicación de capas finas.
El empaque es funcional y robusto, asegurando que las pinturas estén bien protegidas y organizadas.
