For our train modeling friends we are working on matching some of the Floquil colors (about 30 in all right now). The paints will not be xylene based as the Floquil paints were instead they will be the same alkyd oil enamel we use with the rest of our paints. Look for these paints to be released during 2023. Our base colors will be coming out as well, in Gloss and Flat sheens.
-After the introduction of the Floquil matching paints and our base colors, focus will go back to the WWII naval paints, finishing with the German and Italian Navies. We are hoping to finish these paints by mid 2023.
We are very pleased and honored to announce that we are supplying paints for BlueJacket Shipcrafters Inc in Searsport, Maine. BlueJacket has for over a century provided some of the highest quality ship models of all makes and types. To be supplying the paint for Nic and his craftsmen is a real treat for us and we encourage all ship builders to check out the BlueJacket's website at www.bluejacketinc.com
NEW CAPS!!! Again!! We are moving back to the metal caps but with a better pulp/vinyl liner. The plastic caps were just too fragile for shipping purposes, after a couple of years of having many breaks, we are going back to the metal caps, but keeping the black color.
SERIES 2 IS GROWING! - Series 2, WWII paints are in full development mode. We have 20 hues from the US Navy and the Royal Navy, and have started on the US Army. This series will include many of the RLM colors, along with colors from the Imperial Japanese Air and Naval forces, British Army and Air, along with Italian and Russian forces. This series will be rather large, right now we are expecting a full 150 paint hues.
Sourcing a manufacturer for our paint racks has been a losing battle, so we are going to produce our own wooden racks! We will be open to selling entire racks to hobby shops at a discounted price once these racks are complete. The signage and paint labels for the racks have been sourced locally in Bangor Maine.
We have had success with our gloss, flat, matte and semi gloss coats. Once ready we will be selling these in 2oz bottles already mixed and ready for your air brush. Our topcoats are a polyurethane base, then we adjust the heat of the mixture to give a good dry time and a great flat finish but without drying in the air brush.
The colors of our first set. Note the progression of our labels... The sets will have paints with the new labels, glossy, tough, with our new logo and the FS #
