What should they get me for my birthday?

Post by Cyberpaddy66 »

It's my birthday on the 25th of June and my Parents and my Mrs want to buy me something that I can enjoy so I suggested some model paints and brushes.

To that end I've been hunting about and reading lots of reviews on the different brands and have decided to go with the Vallejo Model Colour range of paints and their Sable Brushes so does anyone have any thoughts on why I shouldn't get the following

2 lots of the 8 paints: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vallejo-Model-Col ... |294%3A200

One or two lots of the 4 brushes set: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sable-Paint-Brush ... |294%3A200

And if so what would you suggest I go for instead?

My Parents are spending ?25 on paint and my Mrs wants to spend up to ?10 on brushes as well as making me some sculpting tools (I'd like to make them myself but she's being obstinate and not letting me :roll:) so I can have a go at sculpting my own models 8) https://www.flickr.com/photos/stripypixi ... 3630292925 By the way that's a 1p piece in the picture for scale :D

I am sooooo looking forward to finally getting some good paint and brushed to make my painting a whole lot easier than it is at the moment!
Getting back into the thick (or rather thin as in thinning my paints) of it, not picked up a brush in some time so this may hurt a bit until I get used to the feel of them again :doh:
