Anyone have these anymore?

Doubtful as they were discontinued by the manufacturer…

Wow, I did not know that. And I was just commenting today on how I really liked the paint for building up layers.

I am glad I purchased what I did last year then.

Yes another sad story for Australian manufacturing – one of the best products and super value, but few people had heard of them. Heard about them at the last minute from Mark as he was clearing out his last stocks, and the dozen bottles I was able to get from him are now the stars of my painting room!

Unlike Vallejo you don't have to grow old shaking them prior to use, and they always come out with a beautiful flat matt finish.

they do? without shaking? Rhino and I bought a hundred or so from Extra crispy for a dollar a bottle when the US dollar was 90c A. I had around 50 already. they are ok , in my experience neither the best or the worst, and as far as I can tell you have to shake the very Bleeped text out of them for a long time.I have an electric paint shaker which does it for me. You only have to do it once every 3 months is my experience.

Yup and Yup! Less than a 5 count!

Oh and 'Rorkes Drift Red' is just perfect for a mildly seasoned Redcoat of any era – just don't know what I will do when the 2 bottles I managed to grab will run out!

keep the caps screwed down and they will never run out, that is a lot of paint. I have several as well.You must have bought different ones than I did.I gave some French blue a go your way and it was a thin translucent puddle without being shook at 5,000 shakes a minute for 3 minutes.After that it was beaut, in a very dark, tinged with grey, sort of way

Yep, seemingly, gone in a blink of an eye.
Happened across them in a hobby store, bought a few to try out, next trip there they were gone and the guy I asked about them had never heard of them.
