yes thank you for the welcome. So far I have been plesantly suprosed with these paints, except for their metallics. I just use a mix of flow improver and bottled water, usally about 5 drops for 1 "Squirt" and the consistany seems to be very similar to Reaper Master Series, at least the ones they did right I have only experimented with a handfull of browns and greens as I still had those laying around in my terrain box. And as another poster said you do have to be sure to shake them well before using.
