Hi,

My middle aged crisis seems to be pusing me towards re-doing stuff I did in my youth, so when a recent house move made me discover a box containing 100s of old unpainted lead D&D minis, it seemed only natural that I would have another crack at doing something I really used to enjoy.

I have decided to use mostly Vallejo paints, but will use others as an when I need to. I'm too old and long in the tooth to get caught up in 'this brand is better than that brand' sort of arguments. I'm happy to use whichever is best for that particular job. That aside, I went to a local shop to get a selection of basic colours, and immediately noticed that the Vallejo Model Colour that they had in stock had 2 different labels. It's not a specialist modeling shop, and the staff had no idea which of the bottles was the latest.
Anyway, what I don't want to do is to buy some paint that has been sitting around on a shelf for months or even years, and without knowing which of the bottles is the latest stock, that is a distinct possibility.

So....

Is this the current design?

or it it this one?

The main difference being the product code is also listed around the top of the 2nd bottle, whereas it is only along the bottom edge of the label on the 1st.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Let's just hope my eyesight holds out long enough to get these things finished.

Cheers

Joe.

Pretty sure the second is the newest but I'll have to confirm when I get home tomorrow.
