Green Stuff World have released six new patina paints that oxidise just like the popular Dirty Down paints.

I’ve tested the complete Ultracryl paint range – the Kickstarter sensation from Germany. Premium acrylic paint with maximum pigmentation and the finest raw materials money can buy. What could possibly go wrong? Well… this is without a doubt the most difficult review I’ve ever had to make. Read on to find out why.

I’ve tested all the Mindworks Heavy Body Acrylic paint sets. Marco Frisoni claims he won a Golden Demon thanks to these paints… but can that really be true?

Ammo MIG has expanded the Ionic Smart Colors family with a dedicated set of 12 inks. And on paper, the Ioninks look like the perfect companion to one of the hobby’s most exciting newer paint ranges.

Here’s everything you need to know before you buy.

Whether that’s a good or bad thing, I’ll tell you in this deep dive video review.
