What the title says, im looking to start to print minis. but I got NOTHING at all 😄

Need help to find reasonable priced stuff in stores, or if the best is to pick amazon. Just general help to find anything i need to buy to start SE stores prefered or EU stores can also be working. No airbrush yet.

Like only stuff to print or paints as well?

#

https://www.alphaspel.se is my go to. They have basically everything and if they’re too shallow don’t have what you want you can ask them if they’re willing to supply it and they usually do.

#

They have the best customer service I’ve ever experienced

@granite roost any opinions? sorry if you answered before and for the extra ping cat_sad

#

Guess this is what i can get from alphaspel

Looks good, I would consider just buying paints separately though. The old Vallejo Model Colour metallic paints in that set are shit

#

So you won’t get much use out ofnthose

#

Oh cool!

#

Just thought picking a starter kit would make it easier

#

Doesnt look like theres metallics in it, but maybe gold and silver is metallic even if it doesnt say

They are and they’re shit

#

But honestly, you can just buy the paints separately and not lose much money.

Skip the skin tone and buy it from another brand. AK paints are awesome but their skin tones are a bit grainy.

My friend said only to get 3 brushes, small medium and large

#

Everything in between is usually bad

#

That's what I saw in a video as well

#

Spending 1400sek to start is more than enough without the expensive brushes 😂😂

#

Alphaspel sells good brushes but they’re 200kr+ each so you can get those later once you have the basics down

#

Yeah if I still enjoy it

#

Will make more sense to splurge then

#

When I know more what I want

#

Could scale the pricing down to not have a wet palette etc but for that price I might as well. If that's the goal anyways
