Here's a video where I show how the new shades compare to the old washes. In the video we have Badab Black vs. Nuln Oil, Devlin Mud vs. Agrax Earthshade and Thraka Green vs. Beil-Tan Green. The conclusion is that the colour match is very close and if anything they behave a little better. They seem to have a lower surface tension which leads to less foam type bubbles forming when you paint it on quickly.
Very helpful I im going to be doing a review on some of the new paint and I hope you mite have to check it out!?!
ReplyDelete@Gamer Heads: Thanks, and yeah I will check your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to review those, your camera work is superb (it seems like most of the videos on other sites are constantly losing focus while your setup was good for the entirety).
ReplyDeleteI'd be a little careful comparing to a wash that has only a tiny bit left in the pot, their properties change as they dry out over time.
I'm looking forward to more comparisons, keep up the good work!
If you've got a second I'd be interested in what you think of my findings so far...

@ Cornu - yeah, you're right about the end of the pot being an issue... the Badab black I used is almost new but the Devlin Mud was near the end.
DeleteWhoups, sent the wrong link, scroll up to see the paint comparisons.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog by the way... its a little hard to scroll through things though.
