    I picked up this very beautifully sculpted, 1/35 scale Infinity Shape US Soldier in the Pacific when it first came out and painted it over the weekend.

    Vallejo Airbrush Colors

    Has anyone tried the Vallejo airbrush colors? I picked up a set and have been using them for regular brushing and they are very nice. The consistency is obviously thinner than the regular colors but they have great tinting power and for painting in thin washes they are excellent.
