Who carries those in the US? Is it more of a craft store thing (JoAnns, Michaels) or a train/model store thing? |

A very cursory google brought up these, among others:

link Since it appears to be a Casein-based paint I would think craft, or more specifically art supply, stores would be the place to look. |

They always seemed too bright to me. I don't use them. |

So nobody has seen them in the shops then eh? I hate to mail order … |

utrechtart.com have at least some of them (but it looks like they may only carry the white and black). There's a store finder on their website. |

I've never seen them in stores in the US, only mail order. Dick Blick's carries the Shiva casein range but I've only seen them in the Chicago loop store. |

There is a store in Evanston, IL called Tom Thumb Hobby Shop that used to carry them. I don't know if they still do or not. This is also a good source for Testors paints and Dullcoat. |

>They always seemed too bright to me. I don't use them. Iused to use them for horses followed by painting (darker) oil paint over the top, waiting a few hours, and dragging a cloth across the surface of the horse to remove oil in raised areas. That works very well. |
