12:06 "Feels like an infomercial" Actually totally the contrary. I've been hoping you'd do a video on these paints as it really helps to understand the thought process behind them and their intended role. Not that I can't just use them for anywhere I need a dead toenail or poop color, but knowing they were intended for specific things I would never have thought of really opens up the possibilities for me in painting. I'm really hoping Vince does the same with his set as I picked up both. Pro Acryl and Ninjon are two of my favorite things, so this was like someone making a Dr.Pepper and pickles pizza. Like how am I NOT going to buy that?

I'll be incredibly sad if the paint isn't available in two versions, Redneck and Standard.

There are some colors I would like: finished tartan pattern, perfect eyes, realistic beard shadow and - very important - a universal color for all those things on a miniature only the sculptor nows, what it's supposed to be ;-) But those look very nice too! One color I recently discovered, is GOLDEN SoFLAT MATTE ACRYLICS, Paynes Grey. It is a very matte and dark grey, but much more interesting than VGC Dark Sea Blue. It is - in my opinion a very nice start for every black fabric or armor.

Because they are so warm and go well together, i used both of the collections to paint little books in a shelf. Came out dope

Ooh, those are good sets. And I'm so glad there's finally a magenta in their range that doesn't have added white. The "Dark Magenta" (guessing it's single pigment PR122, because Vince) looks great! Congratulations to you both and MH for doing the collaboration, and for the wonderful results! A+ 💝

I make mini paints from emptying posca paint pens into dropper bottles...hear me out, it's acrylic paint, it's got a super matt finish, there's a huge range, it has great opacity, and it has a weird self-leveling quality that creates a really smooth finish. It does have certain downsides like it doesn't like being put on a wet palette, and if you use it too thickly it dries crackly but it opens up options I didn't have before. when I have enough money to pick your paints up I'll give them a try, they look great. and I know you are quite the paint collector so you know ya shizz;le when it comes to what works and what doesn't :)

I'm suddenly wondering what would happen if you put a drop of retarder in it.

Pro Acryl Jade changed my life. Every mini I've painted since I got a bottle of it in 2021 has featured the color to varying degrees. I even bought a couch that color.

😂😂😂 we now have the full triad. Jade, Dark & Bright ❤️

Not remotely the point, but the opening credits always make me smile. The fumbling reach for paint, the fumbling reach for a brush, the chair spin - never fails to get a chuckle. These paints look interesting; I'll have to check them out!

God That plum looks so perfect I cant wait til it gets to my doorstep!

This guy should have been painting "a bat out of hell" instead. But in all seriousness. Loved seeing both yours and Vinces colors come in a set from Monument. Wonderful work.

Paints I use a lot: - Signal Black (Molotow) as my preferred primer through the airbrush; has a slight brown bias, which is very useful for painting warm colors - An artist white ink (any brand will do, but have been using Royal Talens Amsterdam lately) - Rhinox Hide (Citadel); unique dark brown with a purple undertone - Metal Color Steel (basically any silver from Vallejo’s Metal Color range is great) - Delayed Metal (Scale75); beautiful dark gold metal paint - Burnt Umber (PBr7) oil paint for making washes (any artist grade will do) - Kimera black is is my current favorite, AK’s 3rd gen Black my close second. Kimera’s is darker, while AK’s is easier to work with - Brown ink OOP (Citadel); best looking wood color I have come across - Inktense Wood (Scale75); for painting a more yellowish wood - Sombre Grey (Vallejo Game Color); great rather unique grey with a violet undertone - Chestnut Ink OOP (Citadel); really like orange-brown tones in general; Vallejo Skin Wash ink is also great and more importantly, still available - Kimera’s The Red and Magenta - Black ink (Vallejo); preferred for airbrushing because of it satin instead of glossy finish of other inks; usually mixed into other paints - Earth (Vallejo Game Color); great for painting weathered bone, glazed over a zenthinal undercoat; also great as a base color for leather - Agrax Earthshade (Citadel); mainly used for bases; also like (a thinned down) Wildwood, which is quite similar, but a little less dark when in the same consistency as Agrax - Nathol Crimson ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent red paint; it’s on the colder side, without leaning towards a magenta - Yellow Orange Azo ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent yellow paint, that might look neutral depending on the undershade - AK terrains Muddy ground; lovely texture paint; just don’t slap in on too thick, because you will get a weird texture - In general using Liquitex artist ink and Citadel Contrast paints a lot; I like almost all of them

I'm back at miniature painting after taking 4 years off from it. I was able to mostly recover my Citadel paints, but they just don't behave like they are supposed to. Seriously, 1992 vintage Citadel paints just needed shaking to be good to go, but come Citidel paints from 6 years ago are just chunky goo, even after rehydrating and mixing with a vortex mixer... After trying out 2 of their paints, based on you and Vince's reviews, I just ordered the entire range of Pro Acryl, including both signature sets.

i like that subtle hint there that "warm brown is basically rhinox hide" heh. if i can get the pro acryl version of that im all for it. mine arrive tomorrow can't wait to try them out!

i think you're right. proacryl mahogany already is pretty close to rhinox hide already. ill find out when i get the paint i suppose.

The dark ivory has become one of my most used colors. I've been waiting for this for so long

I bought both sets last Friday when they came out. Great colors!

A year after using these, my favorite has become dark ivory. Ive used it in just about every mini Ive painted since i bought it

“Walks the fine line between snot and baby poop…” HaHaha! As a parent of 4, I know EXACTLY what colour that is 😊😜😂

Really nice. That Dark Warm Flesh kinda looks like a Naples Yellow. Such a good color to have in the Pro Acryl range.

What you've created there is a makeup bruise pallet! Forget triads, take a look at makeup pallets and you can find larger groups of comparing and contrasting colours x

I've been waiting for a ProAcryl Paynes Grey and one of my favorite Vallejo and AK tones Red Grey as a bonus!

ProAcryl paints have become my favorite to work with recently. Not sure if this is the case with all of their paints, but their light grey runs better through an airbrush than like, any of the other brands I've used.

So many of their paints get so thin in an airbrush while still maintaining their color it's crazy.

Now this is an infomercial I can support!

Ordered 2 sets of each. One for myself and one for a buddy. Excited to use them.

Congratulations @Ninjon! This is really exciting

Both sets were already ordered before seeing this but it's great to see them used by a master.

Those are some beautiful warm colors man, and I am glad I have a way to support you. Looking forward to more videos of your diorama.

I’m stoked about this! I’ve been watching your channel and listening to Trapped under Plastic for the last two years since I got back into the hobby. This is really cool to see this happening for you

Paints on the way, got both of the sets since I love both your work and you both inspire me to do better!

Waiting for these paints to come in the mail next week. Excited to give them a try.! Thanks for your videos they are fun and informative

Mine are showing up today. Both sets. Stoked to use them.

I would love to see a segment of Daryl painting up something befitting him. 😄👍 With him showing us why he paints a figure using 'Dead Toenail', and why he likes the object he picked to paint; like a tank, or even a Fairy ('Hey! Don't judge me. Fairies're hawt. And this 'Dead Toenail' really brings out her purty hair.') 😁😄 Seriously, I love seeing Daryl in these episodes. And he's always giving you suggestions for making and painting stuff. Seeing his take on something (something you probably would never really paint. Or something you want to paint in a way most would say "Awhhgrblblgh! No!" But Daryl would paint it that way. 😉👍 Fantastic episode. Congratulations on having your own set of paints. 😎 Be Excellent and Party on. 🤘😎🎸🌈

I've been using Vallejo Sunny Skin tone as a highlight, especially for red for so long, I'm gonna have to grab these sets. I literally ordered the rest of the Pro Acryl paints I wanted a week before these came out too. 😅

Really like these kinds of collabs... getting creativity in a product direct from the pros that use them... Have both boxes ordered up and en route. Thanks John, great material.

I am so excited to get my set delivered. The tones are all exactly what I've been looking for.

Darryl is obviously THE talent behind Ninjon. It's amazing how far this channel has come with just a touch of Darryl. Happy squirrel hunting!

Flesh tone looked amazing! Overall great looking paints and very well done model! When resources allow I will be looking into your and Vince's paint lines. Another enjoyable and informative video. I'd like to think that those of us who've enjoyed your work for some time now are actually happy, if not excited for your succeses. But this is the internet so.... Anyway well done sir, and continued success!

I wasn't planning on buying new paints today, but had to check these out. Heard lots of good things about Pro Acryl so looking forward to testing these.

My set just got delivered yesterday! Excited to test em out!

Thanks for the work! just ordered both of yalls sets

Ugh im painting cthulhu creatures and now i need these. ..

Got both sets in the mail yesterday! Such fantastic colors

Wow, congrats! These colors look to be really handy - I find myself constantly reaching for Ice Yellow, Dark Sea Blue, and Royal Purple from Vallejo. All are great for base coats, mixing, glazing, and more

The paints are fantastic!

My order is arriving today!!! Can’t wait to use y’all’s new paints!!!

Mine are in the mail! Got the shipping notice today. 😊

Received both of the signature lines in the mail today. Absolutely love pro acryl paints, they've become the primary paint I reach for when painting a model, and I really like some of the color choices both you and Vince picked for your sets.

Sweet! I have been wanting to try Pro Acryl paints for awhile now, and you just gave me the final shove I needed. Your recommendations of usage for each color were inspiring, and showed you really put some thought into each formula. There are a few I wished I had ready-made on my last project, especially the magenta, and plum. I ordered both signature sets, and am excited to start painting with them :)

Just ordered both Vince and your set, can’t wait to use them! Thanks John!

Just ordered both sets and can't wait to use them! Thanks for the amazing content

This is wild, and I think it really says something about your design choices: Today I was working on a mini with a kind of sickly/undead skin tone and I look around my desk for a good highlight color and see your red grey I bought and thought "this is perfect for unnatural flesh" So good job! Thanks for creating the set.

Good stuff. Thanks Jon! I might have to branch out and give Pro Acryl paints a try soon. Also, every time I see your vortex mixer with the googly eyes, it makes me smile.

I'm really looking forward to my LGS to get these in stock. I've been excited about them since the announcement.

Congrats to you and Vince.

I gotta say, for some reason this video is pure joy in every way. Got your paints today!

Waiting for my preorder to arrive. Excited very, I am !

I'm in love with Vallejo's Terracotta, and your paints just look like exactly the kind of stuff I mix in for it soooo

I had my eyes on these paints. But now you’re forcing me to buy them. Just got into pro acryl and i LOVE them.

People behind pro acryl: is this the colour you were aiming for? Ninjon: Yeah plum intended

And I just purchased both sets! Can't wait to use them.

These are great colours! I really love that brown, can't wait to get some of these! I'm currently crushed that Vallejo has discontinued Ghost Grey.. I LOVE that colour. I use it as a mid-tone for white clothes, ghosts, snow... It's so good for being a "white" that I can make pop with some actual white highlights. It's a cool grey, but in a very "natural lighting" way that I appreciate.

I'm excited to pick those two kits up and completing my ProAcryl range.

I have definitely been leaning on Golden SoFlat acrylics ever since the video last year and haven't looked back but now these are just so pretty!

5:50 I really appreciate their naming convention. I think that the original magenta has white in it, so could have been called light magenta and your signature paint, just magenta or medium magenta. Dark magenta on the other hand, since it contains just one pigment that is by no means dark, is quite odd like you mentioned earlier in the video.

I just bought a set of each. Love Pro Acryl paints.

that turned out so well. loving the tentacle color fade!

I think this was a fantastic video! Very cool to see your thoughts play out on the cultist. Looking forward to painting with these paints :)

Great paint review, Ninjon! Just ordered both signature sets from Monument Hobbies. So looking forward to using them on my models!

Really love your videos. You got me into the hobby. Waiting for my first mini to come in, to paint it. I know it won't be as amazing as yours it's all about baby steps and progress. Thank you for all your video's I have been learning a lot. I will be buying both paint sets.

One of my old favorites I've never found a great direct match for is Citadel Nauseating Blue. Vallejo makes a closeish one (Sick Blue), and I've tried a few times to mix it myself without much success. For those unfamiliar, it lived in a Bermuda Triangle like space between midnight blue and warm violet and clashed jarringly with bright greens and oranges. Certainly not for every mini or even the majority of the ones it worked on, but for some monsters, sorcerers, and other things like that it was always perfectly rich and jarring in a good way. It'd be amazing to have a really vibrant close match, and incredible if it managed to be a 1 or 2 pigment paint.

Some of my go to colors for pretty much any painting job are P3’s Coal Black, and Vallejo’s Ice Yellow. Great off black and white options.

You had me at the announcement post. Can't wait for them to come in

I picked up your set a little while ago. Its an excellent set. I use dark warm flesh and dark ivory on everything. It mixes so well with everything for highlights.

Just grabbed some of both lines of paint and I absolutely love them. The ones I got were actually slightly thicker than my other proacryl paints which I really liked as well.

Browns. Because mixing paints is subtractive, any two random medium value shades are fairly likely to tilt towards brown when mixed - or at least a muddy tone. Any three almost certainly so. So if you need a brown, throw two paints together and see what you get, then try adding a third if you think you need to. Or just buy the paint set advertised here. Looks pretty good!

Mine box came in two days ago. Was hyped to see this collab come to fruition and hope to see more in the future!

Love the paints! My two favorite colors I mix constantly is a deep brown gray and a dark evergreen.

A bright pure blue without just being dumped with white would be amazing!

I'm excited to get my hands on these! A good brown is so hard to come by, I'm very excited to try yours out! I'm also very excited to see what/if you do anything with the Army Painter Speedpaint stuff

Ey! Good on you guys! I LOVE the colours in both of those sets, and Sugs' set, too. I'm colourblind, but I totally see, and more importantly, 'get' the colours in your set.

Just picked up the sets and can’t wait to paint. Also the one thing I love using is a wash I made with Musou Black

Great looking paints order 2 of each cant wait to try them out!! Looking forward to seeing your next video

These videos are getting better and better.

Loving the Magenta, good job dude.

I'll be trying these out

Already ordered when you anounced previously just waiting to get them in and give em a go!

AWESOME! Buying both sets now. This was a great video. I have seen the Pro Acrylic but like any other non-pro painter, I was skeptical.

Funny I just picked up your set last night but I have to wait till next payday to get the set from Vince, I always appreciate more colors and to be able to help support you and Vince seems like a win win to me.

Payne's Grey is such a great colour, and it is indeed one that I find myself mixing a lot (to shade metal p.e)
