Monument Hobbies - Pro Acryl Expansion Set 1

The Pro Acryl Expansion Set 1 by Monument Hobbies brings together 12 bottles of acrylic paint for painting miniatures and models. As with the rest of the Pro Acryl range, these paints use a higher pigment concentration than common hobby paints, which reduces the number of coats needed for even coverage. Each 22 ml bottle includes a glass mixing agitator, avoiding the corrosion issues found with some metal balls, and a twist-top cap designed to limit the paint drying at the nozzle. Monument Hobbies positions this range as an alternative to conventional hobby paints, with an approach inspired by artist-grade acrylic paints. 

The paint's fluid texture allows direct brush application without heavy dilution, while keeping good coverage. Dilution is needed for airbrush use, adjusted according to the equipment used. The finish is matte, which limits reflections on painted areas and makes details easier to read. As the paint dries quickly once out of the bottle, using a wet palette helps keep color mixes workable for longer. 

This set brings together colors not found in the Pro Acryl Base Set, designed as a complement rather than a starting point. It includes shading and contrast colors such as Dark Purple, Dark Blue, and Black Brown, as well as additional flesh tones such as Shadow Flesh, Olive Flesh, and Pale Pink, useful for varying skin tones on miniatures. Bright Yellow Green and Dark Camo Green round out the greens already present in the base range. The Pro Acryl Expansion Set #1 suits people who already own a base set of Pro Acryl paints and want to expand their palette with more specific shades.
