Signature Series Set 3 Ben Komets by Monument Hobbies: Pro Acryl colors with a satin and gloss finish
The Signature Series Set 3 Ben Komets by Monument Hobbies brings together 6 bottles of acrylic paint developed with painter Ben Komets. Unlike most of the Pro Acryl range, known for its matte finish, this set introduces the first satin and gloss finishes in the collection: five colors dry with a satin finish, and Petroleum Brown dries with a gloss finish. Each 22 ml bottle keeps the features common to the Pro Acryl range, namely a glass mixing agitator and a no-clog twist-top cap. These finishes were designed by the artist to directly reproduce certain textures without an extra varnish step.
Using the Signature Series Set 3 Ben Komets with a brush or an airbrush
These paints are applied like the rest of the Pro Acryl range, with a brush using limited dilution or with an airbrush after dilution suited to the equipment used. The satin finish of colors such as Dark Sea Ben, Heavy Warm White, Dark Burgundy, Green Oxide, and Advanced Flesh Tone suits areas such as skin, leather, or atmospheric effects, where a matte finish would show light variations more sharply. Petroleum Brown, with its gloss finish, is designed to simulate oily or wet surfaces, such as wet metal or a shiny organic surface.
Six colors developed with Ben Komets for a Pro Acryl collection
The set includes Dark Sea Ben, a dark blue-green, Petroleum Brown, a deep brown with a gloss finish, Dark Burgundy, a strong red-purple, Green Oxide, a desaturated green, Advanced Flesh Tone, a mid-range skin tone, and Heavy Warm White, a high-pigment warm white. This choice of finishes offers an alternative to classic matte colors for results closer to certain real materials, without an extra finishing step after painting. The Signature Series Set 3 Ben Komets suits people who already have a base set of Pro Acryl paints and want different finishes than the standard matte for precise effects on their miniatures.
