    I still have two large plastic tubs of Floquil and one of Poly Scale, all still unopened... Those were just great for model trains and sci-fi models... That is cool that you can still get something like them today!!! :Cool:

    Oh, man - Floquil. There's a name I haven't heard in years. I used to get their railroad colors for customizing HO scale locomotives and rolling stock. I'll have to look up the Archive X brand, and see what they have available.

    These are actually enamels. The brand name is Archive X. Its a recreation of the floquil colors used in the 70s by ILM. Floquil is long gone and the colors changed over the years though the names did not. So a die hard builder in the UK sourced all the original floquil colors sent them to a lab and had the colors recreated 100% This paint helps SW models to look "Right" and its a godsend to someone like me. But yes I have the entire Tamiya Arcylic line myself.

    I charge friends and family 1500 to build and paint it. Its a ton of hours. So 3k total plus crating and shipping via freight. Its 30lbs and 36" across.

    Looks like its actually on sale right now for 1200
