Got Paint?

If you haven't heard yet, Testor's is dropping the Polly Scale and Floquil lines of paint along with some other brands I never used.  I went ahead and thought about the modeling I do and stocked up on 88 bottles of polly scale, since I prefer to shoot with acrylics.  If remained sealed and in a cool place, they should last me a long part of my modeling career.  I stopped in and bought a few more bottles on top of my original order at MB Kleins.  The retail on these jars is around $6, but Kleins sells at 4.59, which isn't bad for specific high-quality colors.  If you're going to paint your models, you might as well use quality paint on them, even if you could almost get a locomotive for the price of all of the paint.  They still had probably 85% of the colors left as of 5/28/13.  Here's what a bulk order of paint looks like along with a short list of my order.  There are some colors that I can get from Weaver Scalecoat or Tru-color in case I ever run into a shortage of something like boxcar red.
