Vellejo Game colors probably around 20+. eye droppers seemed like a good idea, but I find they don't stayed mixed right and I am constantly cleaning out the tips and mixing the paint. like the paint otherwise. especially since it matches my old gw paints pigment wise.

Vallejo Model colors around 12-15. I love the earth tones and grays and greens.

Recent GW paints 3… cautiously trying them out, against my better judgment (see below)

hard plastic screw top GW's NONE- they all dried out and I place a curse upon them and their designers to the 7th generation

Octagonal flip top plastic GW paints- around 20. I sadly had to retire my last bottle of bronzed flesh last week that is older than 3 of my children still at home. (2 high school, 1 jr high). I also had to retire my last bottle of chaos black same week.

Older round GW flip top-3-4 still working it. a dark blue and light blue have been used for years.the "go fasta red" round flip top died in December which proves the adage that loved ones always go in threes.


Reaper round bottles with screw tops-around 10-12. I miss the really dark metallic I had, do they still make it I wonder?

reaper eye dropper bottles around 15-20 although they are dying fast and I will not replace them even though I like some colors. kind of a cheap Vallejo knock off, I don't know if they still make them.

P3 paints around 4. I have been replacing my GW's old bottles with these when they go, and I really like the p3 paints so far.

warzone branded target paint-1 the muddy brown. still find an use for it, but it's mostly to see how long it will stay alive…..

and of course a few craft paints for terrain, cheap stuff mostly.

I guess 15 to 20 different.

Testors, Tamiya, Gunze Sangyo, Floquil, Rustall, Rust-Oleum, and a few others. I have been shifting over the Tamiya mostly for the past few years. Still there are a few Testors paints I will never likely give up. Their Flat Tan is my basic dirt color for edgings around buildings and such and has been since about 1970.

Wow! You all spend a lot of money on paint. I use one; folk art from Michael's.

A lot!

GGouveia22 Oct 2017 7:23 p.m. PST

Vallejo and lots of them.

Four or five craft paint lines, at least eight hobby paint ranges, altho' many of these, long out of production, are increasingly becoming extinct.

Bowman30 Oct 2017 6:03 a.m. PST

Lots!

Some is relegated to terrain painting and basing.
