GHQ Paints

Post by dougeagle »

I'm wondering from others on this forum if they have used any of the paints from GHQ's paint line.
How are they for using?
Do you get good coverage?
Are they a powder then mix or are already in a liquid state?

I have gotten about 3 bottles from GHQ and I agree they are rather thick but they do thin down well. coverage has been great for me. I will be getting more of their paint in the future.

Hmmm...may have too look into getting a couple of bottles just to see what they are like.

Cama:
I have about half of the GHQ range, and have used them on several projects, including some of the stuff that I have painted for GHQ.

So what colors have you guys used then?

I've used the Camo Green and Olive Drab to name a few. It's probably pretty consistant across all of the paints. The most noticable thing is they are so thick. Probably the consistancy of white glue. They thin out nicely as the pigment seems to be pretty good.

I was thinking on maybe trying the Camo Green for my Modern Germans and Dark Green for my Modern Soviets, plus Olive Drab and Khaki Drab for my British/Commonwealth forces for WW2.
