The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: Humbrol Paint orders
PostPosted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 6:03 pm 
I am going to repaint my armor using the correct paints. I was going to use the methods in here:
Colours: Humbrol Paint codes thread
such as taking them to the hardware store for replication in Acrylic. But I ran into a problem with the London Bridge Toys vendor mentioned. They now only accept orders with a $20 min. I need 4 frakkin colors which does not equal $20. Anybody have other vendors they are willing to suggest that a) has the colors b) does not have a minimum $?

Or if anybody has these samples, I would pay for the shipping to me and back to you. I wouldn't use any of the paint except for the matching at the hardware store.

Or am I just screwed.:roll:

Suggestions, help, hints are much appreciated.

That's a good idea. I'm repainting my armor to match my character, I hadn't thought about re-doing them in acrylic

Rex,

The thread I found in the Archives is awesome - a couple different takes but mostly the same...mostly. A badass Marine on these boards is hooking me up with samples of the 4 colors I need which are in the thread minus black and brown bess. Let me know if you want me to mail it to you after I match them at the hardware store.

Thanks bro, I will do so. I think I might have some coming as well, but will certainly touch bases with you should it not work out.

Man, is this fun or what?! 8)

:P :lol: :lol:

That's too funny bro!!

Hey, I'll take you up on that offer to send me the four paint cans when you're done with them. That's a excellent plan!

How much of each color you planning on getting? A quart?
