It seems like Scale75 are getting into the quick and easy painting game with their new range on Kickstarter called Instant Colours. Much like Games Workshop's Contrast Paint range they are aiming to get your piles of grey plastic painted in no time at all and onto the tabletop.

The range has been designed so that it goes onto the model in one coat and significantly brings down the time needed to achieve tabletop quality results. Models that previously took a few hours to paint can be finished in around thirty-to-forty minutes and whilst they won't be to the same standard, they will be perfectly good-to-go on the tabletop.

Here are some examples of what they have been able to achieve with the range. Much like when we saw Contrast, I do like the overall finish to the miniatures even if it is very different looking compared to a traditionally painted figure.

For those with lots of board games which normally come packed with plastic miniatures nowadays, this again provides a nice solution and means that you won't have to slog through a collection in order to make it fit for the tabletop.

Much like with Contrast (again), I don't see this replacing the painting methods of the majority of hobbyists but I could see it as another fun tool in the arsenal. Anything like this becomes a great toy to play around with, especially when it comes to achieving interesting and diverse mixes and blends.

Scale75 has also put together two video tutorials showing these paints in action...

This shows the process on a character miniature and something a little larger. Again, I think it's neat and I could see this being a really nice option for tabletop fans who see themselves as gamers rather than painters. Because it does a lot of the steps for you in one go it means you don't have to worry about shading and highlighting.

Kickstarter Options

The campaign is broken down into a number of different options for backers but this gives you a general overview of the types of paint set they have in the works. Each covers a particular colour palette and provides you with a variety of shades and styles to make a miniature pop.

At its very basic level, the campaign allows you to pick up one of these sets of colours for twenty-five Euros. It does escalate in price from there with seventy Euros getting you a wider selection of paints plus a few extras and then 210 Euros netting you the entire range plus a bunch more.

I could certainly see folks diving in and maybe picking up one or two of these paint sets or just going all-in for the entire range. I think for a lot of people though, the real focus is going to be on picking and choosing what they want and going from there.

The campaign is going very well indeed and they have unlocked all manner of additional options for backers in terms of accessories and guides. A lot of people have really enjoyed playing with the Contrast range from Games Workshop so I can see Instant Colours also being a hit too.

The proof will always be in the pudding when it comes to collections like this and I am going to be interested to see how others get on with the paint range further down the line.

Are you tempted by the Instant Colours collection?
