I tried Pro Acryl for the first time 

I like how you dont just skip through painting because as a beginner i didnt realize how long it takes to paint these miniatures and with the other channels they skip through everything and man i though i was doing something wrong but i have come to realize that it just takes time

Welcome to the ProAcult. Praise be to the Bold Titanium White.

One thing I would say after using Pro Acryl for a while, be careful about leaving too much paint on the wet pallet for too long. These paints break down and separate super easily and quickly

They have other paint lids you can buy from their site. I have mixed feelings about the lids also. I own the entire pro acryl line. Jason and everyone over at Monument are super kind and helpful.

I am a model car builder starting to explore miniature painting to try some different painting genres. So I really liked that you included so much painting in your videos.

Burnt Red is such a good color! And yeah, Mahogany is great for building into Burnt Red and then Bold Pyrrole Red. I'm also a huge fan of the Dark Blue-Grey, the White-Blue, their Jade is amazing and of course the Bold Titanium White. Recently I picked up their Copper and Dark Bronze and I love them both too. I also like the Panzer Grey from Vallejo for a dark primer, but I'm gonna be trying out Pro Acryl's Dark Neutral Grey next. It ain't hard beating the Citadel Pots, replace the twist caps with one of the dropper lids Pro Acryl sells and never look back.

Monument also makes a flip top lid for the bottles you can buy if you don't like the nozzle ones.

Yay, love the "crossovers" :) Great box entrance 👏 Btw, really nice recent/new background at the start, the city lights

They do sell different toppers for the bottles!!! I know it's more money, however.... VERY worth it.... just.... trust me!! Also yes, I would buy the whole set, it's just a win win all around. It is great for any level painter, However I believe they are amazing for advanced to pro painters just because of the mixing, and dry time. All in all just pure amazing paints!!! Very excited to see whatever you got lined up!! Keep going buddy!

Never really had the issue with the getting paint out, only with them being a little less precise for dispensing paint, compared to other bottles, due to the larger nozzle size. I did get some good tips for the "overflow" issue though: aActually give the paint time to settle back down before you close it and/or tap the bottle on the desk to give it a little help. Since adopting these, it's not really an issue now.

A friend of mine also got me into the Pro Acryl line after he started using them and raving about them. I'm on my second bottles of Bold P Red, Dark Purple, Bold White and Green. On my third bottle of the Coal Black and Burnt Red.

I love their white and washes.

The Tips are a bit quirky. You should squeeze until something comes out, but less than you want. Then close it and use the last drop on the tip. If you need not much paint thats the pro. Just squeeze, and only use the drop on the tip. Or buy the slighty overpriced normal caps. You also can print it. To the finish: Pro Acryl normally has a very matte finish. Not Scale matte, but matte. You started with the wrong set. Buy the base set. Or just buy Bold titanium white, coal black and bold pyrrole red. These 3 are awesome. Also the washes are rat. The metallics are mediocre, except white gold. The purples, greens, yellows, blues are all very good. Especially the jades, teals, purple tones are awesome. The normal blue is very good. Browns also. Whats not good? The ivories. They are chalky af, dont cover and have strange tones. Good supplement lines: AK (as usual). Vallejo Model and Metal colors. Duncans (if you want more Citadelish paints). Maybe the new AP Fanatics but i think ap will have some flaws, as usual. The Pro Acryl Airbrush primers are the best out there, especially Dark neutral grey, which is a better coat then pure black. Last Tip: If you want to contrast over them, first varnish satin over it. Or basecoat with wraithbone. As all very matte and coarse paints Contrast and Washes (outside the PA ones) dont work really well, because they cant flow. The new AK Deepshades are a good supplement for the washes. As we all knew Citadel new washes are bad.

I just stumbled on your channel but I absolutely love the tone and the vibes you give. Happily adding you to my sub list to keep up with your future content.

▶1:25 = It's like a *_KETCHUP_*_ Bottle:*_ if you take it out of the fridge after sitting there right-side up for a few days+, all the material will, because of gravity, sink to the bottom; so, you need to *_SHAKE_*_ It_ & give Gravity a chance to pull the paint towards the nozzle. (▶3:31 * Also, try _Not _*_PRESSING_* the nozzle *_Against_* the Wet Pallet when trying to extract paint; you're *_Blocking_*_ the _*_Paint_* from coming out by doing this M8. Good Luck;-) (P.S. in terms of saving paint w/ less wastage: these dropper btls are still Miles above CITADEL Paints) Wait, _What?_ NinJon's face on a Paint Box? What'll they cook up next (??)

Great paint... love working with it... but yes... the bottles suck. The tops and stiffness of the bottles make getting paint out difficult. I generally end up squeezing too hard and getting too much paint. And the cloudiness of the bottle prevents seeing the true color of the paint. I like the new clear Vallejo Game Color bottles. Pro Acryl would be perfect with some changes to the bottles. You can buy the flip top lids... which I have... but why should I have to pay extra to fix the issue with the top. The fact that Monument offers these tops is telling that others have complained of the same issue.

Im sure people have mentioned this but they sell two other lid types on their website. I own the full line, and love it but hated the wasted paint with the stock lid so i have a stash of one of the other lid options and then i have slowly been swapping over to the other lids

All hail Dark Magenta and dark Plum

Anyone know what the song playing during the KettleHelm painting is?

nice video. I like the pro acryl line in general, the bottles just take some getting used to.

Monument also has a dropper bottle type top that screws on and replaces the one they come with. I changed mine. Waaaaayyyyy better.

They sell 2 different alternative bottle tops. $5 for pack of 10 if I recall.

I grabbed the Vince V set and im really happy with it.

I use Vallejo Air as my benchmark for comparing other paints. So, is Pro Acryle superior to Vallejo Air from my perspective? Unfortunately not as I too had high hopes for this paint having heard only good things about it. The bottles are horrible, they don't mix well with my Vallejo air paints & they struggle to go through my airbrush. I mostly paint scale models & thought they could be good for painting Earth tones on bases as they have a nice bright colour pallet & the bottles are 22ml vs Vallejo Air 17ml, but I struggled so much that I just ended up using my more expensive Vallejo Air paints.

Thanks for the informative review! Also not a fan of such caps, not just for paint, but anything, especially sauces Hoped for the whole kitbashed crew to be painted in this vid, but oh well :) Looking forward to behold the glory of the painted squad And nice blending!

Where is that minature from? I absolutely have to have it.

That mixing ball is obstructing the paint when you completely invert the bottle. Try holding the bottle horizontal when putting it on your pallet

Lets goooooo

You cant tip them upside down or the bearing will block the paint. 45ish degree angel works best. Ive never had an issue getting paint out. I do agree with you on the bottle design. Trash!

I hear you on those bottles. I transfered a bunch of paint to that style and I totally hate it. These bottles are pretty good for washes, flow mediums and anything you might use in an airbrush but suck on palettes. I use Delta Ceramcoat for mass terrain painting and their "dropper" style bottles are great. I rinse them out and use them for the more thick paints and custom colors.

omg I also hate those caps for sauces, especially honey. They always leave a bit outside, perfect for attracting ants TuT Surprised proacryl went with that option.

what was that second model by chance?

As a beginner the pro acryl are great because the water from a wet palette is enough to thin them, but the lack of colors is really bad. I’m filling in gaps with Ak interactive and two thin coats paints

I find it to be a lil on the thin side. I dont dislike it but I ended up being a scale 75 dude.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a mini painting pngtuber until now

Finally someone who agrees with me on the pots/bottles.

I too hate the bottles. Like it adds nothing IMO.

can i drink it

I like your videos, but typically when I have painting videos on it's because I am also painting, so big sections of just muzik for audio isn't very helpful because then my eyes are not on the video, and the next thing I know you're done with large steps, and I tuned out. I imagine other people feel this way too. Might help for viewer retention.
