Review: Scale 75 Scalecolor, Fantasy & Games, Metal’n’Alchemy
Why does no one talk about Scale 75 anymore? In the 2010s, Scalecolor enjoyed great popularity, especially among pro-level painters. However, all I hear from Scale lately is one Kickstarter after another to stay afloat. I wonder if Scale 75 can keep up with all the newer paint ranges and the advancements they brought in covering power and formulation? To answer this question, I’m testing the entire Scalecolor, Fantasy & Games, and Metal’n’Alchemy ranges from the perspective of today in this video.

More heavy armour for the Taghmata Omnissiah!

As always, there are high-resolution sprue images and all the build options.
Review: Ionic Smart Colors
In recent years, we’ve seen a surge of new and impressive paint ranges, each claiming to outdo its competitors. This leaves me wondering: can acrylic paints for modelling improve further, or have we hit the ceiling? Big Child Creative also pondered this question, and their answer is their new Ionic Smart Paint, which you may have already seen in videos by Ninjon and Vince Venturella with their development name “Atom Smart Paints”. For this review, I tested the entire range with all 180 colours to explore whether Ionic represents the next evolutionary leap in miniature painting and the role that the Citadel Colour range of the 2000s plays in all of this.

Find out what’s behind it in this review, for which I tested two of their most popular airbrushes as well as the GT-918 compressor.
