What is the difference between acrylic, oil, and enamel paints?
Acrylic paints, such as those from Vallejo and Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl, are water-based, quick-drying, and easy to clean, making them ideal for miniature painting. Oil paints, like Abteilung502, dry slower, allowing for smooth blending and detailed effects like weathering. They're commonly used for advanced techniques and effects. Enamel paints, often used for models and vehicles, are durable and provide a glossy finish. Brands like AK Interactive and Mr Hobby offer enamel options.

Gundam Markers are specialized paint pens used for detailing and panel lining on plastic models, especially for Gundam model kits. They are perfect for adding precise lines, details, and shading to your miniatures without needing a brush.
What are thinners, cleaners, and removers used for in miniature painting?
Thinners, like those from VMS and Vallejo, are used to thin paints for smoother application and finer details. Cleaners help keep your brushes and airbrushes in top condition, while removers can strip paint from models without damaging the plastic or resin underneath.

After painting your miniatures, applying a protective varnish is crucial to protect the paint job. Vallejo and Army Painter offer both matte and gloss varnishes to seal and protect your work, ensuring your miniatures remain in pristine condition during gameplay.
What are weathering effects and which paints should I use?
