I like the skin tones and the way the metallics came out, very cool indeed!

Fantastic work. What a pity that Solarwinds is no longer in business.

Great work. I'm probably the only one who doesn't know however, who makes the color shift paints?

Thanksguys... they say theyre airbrush ready, and most I had no problem spraying with my Sotar, there was a color or two where I added a drop or two of Vallejo thinner ,and then they sprayed perfect... no clogging spattering or anything..and they also worked quite well by hand brush too..

heres where I got them..not sure if anyone in the US carries them yet,

Thanks! They do not appear to be available in the states yet. Ordering them isn't too bad. Both sets, 12 colors, with shipping was about 55 Euros which is a little less than $70 or about $5.80 per bottle. I have paid that for other specialty paints.

Well done! I especially like the way the metallics really bring out the excellent job you did on the skin tones.

Wow! Gorgeous flesh tones and those chameleon colours are incredible against the warm flesh. Superb!
