Anyone know Andrea paints?

[Daan]

Does anyone know or uses Andrea paints? They seem to come in the same bottles and same quantity (17ml) as Vallejo, are they the same? The price is very nice at 1.38 euro for a bottle.

They can be found here:

I have tried them..

I bought a complete set of Andrea paints before I had even heard of Vallejo and found them to be OK. Because of my enforced break from painting however, i was somewhat disturbed the other month to find out that they had stared to dry out. Perhaps its the way they were stored?
The bottles are definitely identical to Vallejo and I would certainly give them a try at that price. Just get a few basic colours to see if they suit you.

A smaller range

but otherwise pretty well identical to Vallejo. I heard they were made by the same manufacturer - don\'t know if it\'s true.

The black is especially good - great covering power.

My understanding of the situation is that Andrea and Vallejo used to be made by the same manufacturer and were essentially the same paints until a few years ago, but now they are different. I have a few of them, and to be honest I can\'t tell the difference...
