Hi all,

Very glad to be part of the site and I look forward to more interaction. My interestes are primarily in 1/35 armor and dioramas. I made models in my pre-teens and am now quiet a bit older, so I am essentially starting from scratch.

I have invested in an Iwata CS brush and would like to use Vallejo paints. My problem is that I suffer from some color-blindness and find it very difficult to mix colors to match samples. I really need a source for color schemes that would show the finished model and identify the Vallejo paint used.

If anyone could help I would be most appreciative.

Best Regards
Doonie

Hi

If you go to Vallejos web site they do a list of all the common military colours and what the Vallejo equivilent is including mixing ratios.

Hope this is of help

Hi Doonie. Its an unfortunate afflication for somebody in our hobby, but don´t let it hold you back. Wish i could help, but I don´t use Vallejo. If you work with tamiya or Humbrol in the future, give me a shout.

There is a homepage, unfortunately I cannot remember the URL, where you could watch the color chips in several modes, also the way people with various sight disorders would see them. I am sorry I cannot tell you the URL any more but perhaps a little googling helps you... try color wheel or similar for search. Maybe it helps you.
