Hey, im trying to find a few things avaliable in australia to help control my flow-aid for my painting. does anyone have suggestions to get:

1) vallejo products
2) matte medium
3) flow-aid

thanks

Where in Australia? Ignore my US icon, I'm actually in Sydney.

1. I've found Vallejo paints at most hobby stores (other than GW, of course). Tin Soldier is a good one in Sydney, not sure about other cities.

2. Try an art and craft store. Riot Art and Craft seems to be in most major cities and I'm pretty sure I've seen various mediums there.

3. Not sure, I'm sure Riot also stocks flow mediums as well. You could also try hobby stores like HobbyCo (again a Sydney store).

http://www.thecombatcompany.com.au/ [Australian based hobby supplier] are my best bet and at a discount price

Sorry i should be more precise, i live in NSW (est. 40min from sydney)
thanks for the quick response, i think there is a small riot art and craft store in miranda so ill check it out.

thanks for the website SH, looks real good (should be ordering soon)

HBMC seems to like/sing praise to a god/mail order company called Maelstrom Games.
If anybody knows anything about buying hobby supplies it would be him.

i checked the maelstorm site, it has vallejo paints but no other items that i want (probably bulk purchase the paint when i get the minis)

Miranda area, huh?

Didn't drop into MOAB last weekend did you?
(Sylvania Heights community centre - not far from Miranda, really. 15min walk).

The Combat Company had a lot of that stuff there. Plus bags of RE magnets for those sticky jobs.

Plus, you can use their business cards for scratchbuilding stuff as they are 1mm plasticard.

>< completely forgotten about MOAB!! sigh /facepalm..

yeah ive been to sylvania heights community centre, it was good fun and great terrain, was nice n cosy.

Alex- sigh, i swear i lookd through that sight so many times for the items, thanks for the better search-fu.

Thanks for all the input

No problemo.
