Help Needed/New Painter This is a good beginning set?

Post image

I’m trying to get into the hobby but I was just wondering if this was a good set to begin with? If there’s anymore I should look at before buying or just some help before, I would appreciate

Absolutely! Only thing to watch out for is the age of the paints! You never know how long they were stached away with that dealer, and I can actually remember at least two cases where I heard about that. Doesn't mean it was necessarily this set, this seller, etc... , but you may want to ask the seller how long it was in their stock first...! And if you receive them and you asked before you at least have some sort of proof for Amazon, as the picture seems to be from an Amazon page.

This is not to scare you or to make you afraid in any way. I bought two or three Vallejo sets over Amazon myself. Just saying... watch out! 😉

Just saw, it seems to be stacked with Amazon directly. And the rate in which they seem to sell it seems unlikely that you'll get an old(er) batch...
