Hello everyone,
I did not want to post a link, because I am very new to TDH and I did not know what is allowed yet. I read a lot on painting and Humbrol is usually what most people use. I am scared of enamels, so I was looking for acrylic alternatives which I've used years ago. I will start painting my first Boba Fett helmet after September, so I don't want to mess up and get the wrong paint.
I came across this conversion chart this week, so I am NOT taking credit for this. It's Humbrol to Vallejo and then Tamiya to Vallejo. Of course, Humbrol 78 (cockpit green) does not have an equivalent with Vallejo. So I am sticking to Panzer Olive Green (98).
Sadly this list only has the Vallejo number and not the actual paint name. If I have time, I will add the names to the Vallejo. I used Jayvee's ESB color list to find the Vallejo equivalent and it worked great. I ordered the paints and should be in tomorrow. If they look close, I will update this.
I hope this helps somebody looking for paint alternatives. If this is not allowed or if this was already done before, please delete this post mods and I apologize.
Thanks,
Gari
