| These paint chip are actual painted patches using real
paint, not simply printed colors. Printing technology today falls short
of being able to consistently match colors, so this is the best method
to reproduce the colors. The cards themselves are 8-1/2" x 11" heavy stock
with individual colors painted on self adhesive patched that are then applied
to the card. I keep mine in sheet protectors in a binder for handy reference.
While some modelers may argue that you need to incorporate "scale effect"
in you paint scheme, you will still need a starting point and these chips
provide just that. |
| This set is available directly from Snyder and Short via
