Cheating, the Affair and the Second Marriage
I am talking paint. Since I returned to Australia in late 2020 (it may be Covid related) supply of Humbrol enamel paints have been unreliable. Toy stores and model shops have stopped keeping stock and even on-line hobby supplies in Oz don't always have the particular paint I need when I need it. This is in stark contrast to the previous 30 years when I got back into the hobby and of course, before that in my youth. I turned in part to Vallejo acrylics (the affair) when I changed the way I painted flesh tones over ten years ago and expanded into metals when I finally admitted defeat over Humbrol coverage and separation issues. In time that collection reached a dozen or so paints but I continued to rely on Humbrol matt and gloss finishes. I blend my paints and use a wash technique so it seems logical to switch the majority of my paints to contrast paints now that my marriage to Humbrol has to end. I find the dropper bottles quite handy and the Gods know they keep better than the Hu...
