Foundry: Freshly Revised Paint System


Foundry: Our latest member of staff, Evo, has recently rebuilt our whole paint range on our website. We now have a complete list of all the paint pots that we currently have, and many missing paint pots that were not on our website before have been made available again.


The Foundry painting method uses three shades of each colour: building up in layers from dark to light to easily achieve a realistic three dimensional shaded effect without the need for blending. The three layers of colour give real depth and subtlety to your work. You will be able to start painting in the Foundry style straight away. With a little care you will soon be producing very fine, high quality models that would grace anyone's model soldier collection. We have arranged the colours in sets of three; each set provides a main colour, partnered with the shade and highlight colours that we would choose to use ourselves. 

For years we moaned about the quality of paint available for painting toy soldiers: we moaned about the dull and limited range of colours too. No one seemed to make paints that really cover your model; the density of pigment just wasn't there any more. When we returned to Nottingham and took over at Wargames Foundry in 2000, we came with Great Paint. All our paint pots contain a whopping 20ml of paint, and we have range of 288 different individual colours organised in matched sets of three. You can also purchase our pots individually.
