discussion WEM Paints.

[ojays]

For those of you who may have been using WEM paints before they closed business, here is an update.

Sovereign Hobbies Ltd

We are very pleased to announce that we have acquired the rights to produce Colourcoats model paints as well as the existing stock from White Ensign Models Ltd....

We intend to offer a high quality service and aim to be fully operational by spring time 2015 at the latest. If you are desperate for any of these specialist colours in the meantime please do contact us and we shall try our best to help in the short term.

We are very excited to be able to continue the availability of these excellent paints.

As an interim measure we can be contacted via colourcoats@outlook.com

That's good news, particularly for a lot of model boat modellers who used WEM products

For me personally this is very good news!

Colourcoats have been my paints of choice for several years. If the new proprietors maintain the quality of the paints (and why not?) they will certainly be the beneficiaries of my custom.

To any members of the dying fraternity of traditional enamel model paint users, particularly those airbrushing, I highly recommend these paints.

Cheers

Steve

Well I am glad to learn that too. I don't use them often but like the results.

That's great news. In conjunction with Xtracolor and Humbrol they help to service my enamel needs.
