Hi everybody! A long time lurker (8-10 years), I decided to register, to share with you what I will do from now, and to try to keep some motivation in the hobby.

My first post then... to help me start again!

After a few "no time for the hobby" years, I managed to get motivated again, and wanted to go on painting my IG.
My motivation went down very fast. I opened my paints, and found out that even if some of them are quite in good shape, other ones are dead dry.
The problem, then is to find paints with almost the same color, to be able to continue the same way, and keep the army's color pattern.

Now, I can find here in Tokyo some Vallejo Paints. If any of you knew a color that can replace the discontinuated Pallid Flesh from GW in the Vallejo range, it would brighten my day!

Thanks in advance!

8 years and you still haven't found this article?

Here's a paint compatability chart

You're looking for either VGC Pale Flesh (003) or VMC Light Flesh (928)

My bad. I must be dumb, or have some problems with my sight. Thanks for the link, I'll get that paints as soon as possible.

1: welcome to dakka
2: i havent seen that chart before, thanks though lol

Also, the Vallejo websight has a downloadable (.PDF) equivilant catalog for comparisons as well. With many companies, not just GW.

PS Vallejo paints last for years!!!!

There is a better one here it has more options to compare with.

Happy to see my question helped others too. These charts are good indeed, and come in handy for these OOP paints from GW.


>JD21290 : Thanks for the welcome. I knew what it would be like before signing up. I'll try to dodge bullets
