At the very nice model train show and sale at Carl Sansdburg College in Galesburg IL this last weekend (part of their Railroad Days) I saw someone selling a large collection of new Floquil paints in popular railroad colors for $1 a bottle -- and nobody seemed to be buying.  There's your problem.

Dave,Maybe but,a nagging question is how much paint does the average modeler buy?

 

I have 26 bottles of various colors of  paint I normally use and only buy paint as replacement so,I would have pass by the paint as well since I bought several "replacement" bottles of the basic colors I use while Polly S was in stock.

Foolish me..

Testors will be adding the basic flat colors I used to Model Master line of paint.Bang Head

Oh well...Now I got several years supply on hand.

 WOw, that's a neat collection of vintage paint. The Crestline ones I believe came with their kits. Two different Walthers ones, if the one missing the label is a Walthers paint - different bottles. And Howell Day - Red Ball. Those are names you only see in really old magazine issues.
