EC,

I have to say if it were not for the reduced availability and their annoying habit of solidifying after one session (especially the browns), I'd still be using Humbrol enamels myself. I always found they gave a sound matt finish (some artists' acrylics can be quite shiny) and their ranges of blues and buff/sand tones were particularly good. The big plus for me with acrylics is being able to thin the paint and clean the brushes with plain water - I lost count of how many jars of thinner I used to go through with the enamels!

Once again, thanks to all those who have replied.
