Has anyone here ever used the Lifecolor Acrylics from Italy? My hobby shop just got a whole bunch in, and they look pretty good, but looks can be deceiving. Any experience with them would be great to know about.

Never heard of them. Are they in the lines of Vallejo or something like that.

After I saw in the store and posted here today, I did a little research of my own. That don't seem to have any connection with any other paint producing company. I have found differing reviews so far, so I might have to do a little purchase of my own and experiment a bit.
They seem to be competing with Tamiya's line the most. Here is a site that has a little to say about them.:

I'll let you know in a few days or so how well they perform.
