Hi all.

Can anyone recommend a LHS in Australia that can supply Vallejo, MIG Pigments, and mail order?

Preference is for Queensland but will take what I can get.

Cheers

Dont know anything in Australia, but if you wanted to order online, Colorado Miniatures has Vallejo paints.

I would second Colorado Miniatures. I ordered from them and the price and service were fantastic.

G'day Shane,

Strangely enough my online source for Vallejo Model Color and Model Air came from one of your countrymen.

I use http://www.modelsforsale.co.uk. They carry the full range of Vallejo paints, and I found they were marginally cheaper than Colorado and HobbyEasy - HobbyEasy also doesn't carry the full range. ModelsForSale also sent me a personal email giving be various postage options and costs before charging my credit card and despatching the stock. I had my goods sent airmail. I was quoted a delivery time of 14 business days, my order arrived in 10 calendar days...

What more can I say? Great prices and great service.

Hi Shane

I second Rudi's comments. I have also used Models for Sale and found them to be very reliable and stock the entire range. Like Rudi, took around 2 weeks to arrive.

My first purchase of Vallejo cam from The Military Workshop - they're from your neck of the wooks I think - but I'm not sure if they stock them any more - maybe try them as a first option

The Military Workshop

I have also purchased from Andrew at South East Hobbies, but I think he has to order them in for you - still, I have had great service from him also. I know he stocks Mig Pigments...

South East Hobbies

Hope this helps

Cheers

Thanks for all your input.

I really wanted to spend my $$$ in Aussie but thanks for the OS contacts. They may come in handy in the future.

I have an Aussie supplier for Mig but they don't do Vallejo. I have someone for Vallejo but they don't do Mig. I was after an Aussie based business that does both. Getting harder these days but that's life.

I'll look at Peter's suggestions particulary as I've hassled these guys for pricing in the past but have yet to buy anthing from them. They've always been very helpful.

Thanks again for the input.

Cheers
Shane
