I would like to find a light green paint now to touch up the lighter parts of my Pleo. I might go and get the permanent green light in that make and see if I can match it up in any way.
He looks very happy with himself now, pity his personality did not match >:D

Hi Jules
I have found the Windsor& Newton artists paint site. Can you let us know the exact acylic paint used and any code numbers.
You have done a fabulous job, :) :) so I would like to try at some point down the line. Did you do it with just one colour or a mix?

Here you go binbags, if you scroll down you'll find "Green Deep" and you can get it in a 200 ML tube or 500 ML jar :)

I will be going back to get a lighter green or even a yellow to mix so I can get the lighter shade back in my Pleo. I will post the results when i have done it. ;)

Hi Jules and Firebreathingsquirrels
Thanks for your information; the nearest Hobycraft to me is in Stockport, with all this snow at the moment I will not make it. All is not lost though, as we have a fairly large and comprehensive art shop here in Derbyshire. I know that they do all or most artist’s requirements, oil, acrylic or water. Even if they don’t, they should be able to obtain it for me.
I feel like a walk now, so I am off down there. I will let you know later how I went on.

I have been down to artist shop, the only Wilson & Newton paints they had were a set of the Galeria acrylic starter set.
This contains 6 colours
Cadmium yellow medium
Cadmium red hue
Ultramarine
Phthalo Green
Yellow ochre
Titanium white
Each tube is 20ml, more than enough to do the job. I also got a tube "Emerald 335" made by Daler-Rowwney acrylic. This is almost the same as the W&N 482 Permanent Green Deep. I will experiment to see what I reproduce in shades.
Jules, did you use the colours neat? I am sure you did. :-\ :-\
