Garage KIts.US Colors by Life Tones - Airbrush ready paints.

[Jesse321]

Yes, but not until after the show more then likely, You can thank both Brazilian Customs for hold the box for a FREAKING MONTH because of Carnival, and then US Customs for drilling into the piece through the sculpt itself looking for contraband!

Painted by Joe Dunaway using exclusively Garage Kits.US Colors.

[doane100]

WOW! his freakin best so far IMO.

[Jesse321]

Garage Kits.US will be closed from Tuesday March 19th to Tuesday March 26th to attend Resintopia.

Any orders received during that time will be shipped out on our return Wednesday March 27th.

[Jesse321]

The Victoria piece has arrived!!

So folks can see the scale at roughly 13 1/4" tall.


Keep in mind that this is weighed without the arms ... so she's basically 5 solid pounds of resin goodness.

Jesse, i just ordered a bunch of colors from you today. I got a little confused on the site though. I am buying the colors to paint Blackheart's Predator and i was using the color chart along with some photos to chose the appropriate colors. It seemed like there were colors listed for purchase that were not included on the color chart. Threw me off a little. I do have a question. What is the difference between the transparant colors and the enhancers? Thanks.

[JJCap1]

Enhancers are very subtle, even more transparent than transparents. They add just a hint of color.

The color chart needs to be updated, but I've been adding so many colors to the line, and now will be adding the new Semi-Transparent Fleshtones that I've tried to wait until they were all ready before making a new chart.

I'm also thinking that rather than having the picture of the bottle, I'll add a sample color block to each color, but I have to get some breathing time to get it all done.

As Jim stated, Enhancers are thinned down transparents used for hints of color.

[Jesse321]

What colors would folks like for us to make in 4 ounce bottles? I'm assuming Pure White, Jet Black and Garage Kits Flesh ... anything else?

You can find our list of colors here:

I was curious what shade your grey primer was. The color difference between the 1oz and 4oz bottles in the pictures is a little stark, so I wasn't sure if it was a dark or light grey.

[Jesse321]

It's a medium to light gray, and it's the same primer in either the 1 or 4 ounce bottles.

Once I get some free time (yeah right) I'm going to put a color swatch on each color on the website ... it won't be perfect mind you, because each person has their monitors set differently, but it should be enough to give folks a pretty close idea of what's in the bottle.

[Jesse321]

Can these be shipped to the UK, i'd like to try them on my next Pred build.

Thanks.

[DinoMike]

Let me tell ya, these paints also hand brush like a dream with a little of the GK Thickener mixed in. I'm using it on my "Pebbles" build, and they go on really nicely!

[Jesse321]

Thanks.

We ship pretty much anywhere and everywhere in the world. We already have several clients in the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

I know most folks here won't know about this, but my Father-In-Law is a HUGE model train enthusiast. Very recently Tester's announced that they were discontinuing their Floquil and Poly Scale lines, which are (apparently) geared specifically to that market. Needless to say, this has cause a HUGE up roar in the Model Train world.

So, after doing some research, talking to a few people in that section of the hobby to more familiarize myself with what exactly it is that they need, and talking to Life Tones ... Garage Kits.US Colors will be making a new line of paints GK Railroad Colors. While this new line will be specifically geared to the Model Railroad crowd, there will be a bunch of colors that will easily cross over into the figure model hobby.

That is awesome of you to do that for them!!!

[Jesse321]

Due the success of Semi Transparent Fleshtone Line, we're going to make all of them (as well as the rest of our regular opaque Fleshtones) available in 4 ounce bottles.

I'm hoping to have them all ready in time for Jerseyfest.
