Has anyone tried the new Humbrol acrylic paints in the dropper bottles?
I keep seeing them advertised and they are less than £2 each. Are they any good though?

Yes Ian, I have used them and they are good. Now the question is, on which build did I use them? I can't bloody remember  . |

Don't think they'll work well with a brush, they are quite thick. Doesn't matter if AB or hairy stick, they need
thinning.

I’ll give the Humbrol a try as it will be a lot more convenient if I can just pop down to Hobbycraft to get a paint. |

The Humbrol droplet bottles are about the same consistency as the Vallejo Model Color 70.xxx range. The Humbrols thin easily with glas cleaner and spray well once thinned. |
