so i Bought

[spud]

this set cost me €144

now i know Scott said its cheaper to get them by the bottle but i cba looking for individual colors and this isnt a bad price it list price is 169.99 by one suplier.

somthing i forgot to order was the Thinners.

oh i also orders some AK stuff also while i was at it. .

Now can anyone tell me the Dimentions of the Vallejo bottles because im going to build a new Paint Rack to hold them in. H.x.W would be great if somone could be arsed ;D

sweet thanks Ken. that will do me fine

As per the dimensions on my website that it uses for shipping calculations.....

9cm high, 3cm diameter


With the current UK to CDN exchange, that works out to about $229CDN....so no not a bad price.

Just I caution people from buying the sets, as there sometimes isn't much of a price break on them, and usually there are a few colors at least that some would never use.

Either way, it is a great set, and I believe it comes with 3 toray brushes as well?

 

[spud]

ya i was goning to buy them in singles but i cba and i saw this set was a at a decent price on emodels, i also kind of figured i wouldnt use some of them but you never know. and yes scott comes with 3 brushes. do you happen to know what sizes they are?

But as you can see by the photo, that isn't really the size of the bottle but just something rounded up for shipping.

The actual measurements are less than 8 cm high and just under 2.5 cm wide.

haha i was thinking the bottle was about 2. this new rack will take me some time i fear.. mabe i should have been a chippy insted of a tiler ;D

 

[ScaleModelMadman]

Nah, as a chippy I've done my share of tiling so you'd still be doing it none the less. ;D

My sad little excuse for a rack has 9 cm high spaces and 6 cm deep so I can store two bottles if needed...

Man I haven't used this much metric since grade school!

haha my current rack was just some 2x1" i picked up as a temp holding rack so this week coming ill make a nice propper one. well i duno about the nice but it should do the trick.

and thanks for them mesurments Ken, 9cm high will be loads and 6 deep will give me room to store bigger bottles

Gotta leave some head space!!

Must have been drunk when I measured them the first time! Not that it makes any difference in the grand scheme of things when shipping them.
