The Vallejo Model Color Starter Set 70266 is a starting set for brush painting historical miniatures. It includes twelve 18ml. paint bottles, a 43 mm French grenadier, a synthetic detail brush and guidance through a booklet and a video tutorial accessed by QR code.
The set introduces painting uniforms, fabrics, leather, wood, metal and skin within a coherent project. It is useful when starting historical wargaming figures without an extensive paint collection. The included grenadier provides a specific miniature on which to follow the painting steps.
How do you start with this Model Color set? Read the instructions first and decide the order in which to paint the figure’s components. Dispense small quantities onto a palette and work in controlled layers. Allow each layer to dry before painting adjacent details, making it easier to maintain crisp boundaries.
Use the paints to practise light and shade as well. There is no need to treat every part with equal complexity immediately: start with the larger uniform areas, then move towards belts, face and equipment. The combination of a chosen miniature and suitable paints helps keep the learning process manageable.
The paints can also support further historical projects. For experienced painters, the set offers a compact foundation or a guided project for exploring a different approach. The twelve confirmed colour numbers are listed below so you can compare the contents with your existing bottles.
A miniature and brush are included in this set. Other working materials, such as a palette and any primer you choose, can be selected to suit your own painting method.
