OcCre Paint Conversion
kgstakes replied to kgstakes's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Thank you !! To everyone on helping me the paint colors for my model. Greatly appreciated. I've also found that artist tube paints are the way to go for my model railroading as well. Those pre made colors can be great for certain things but you all are right mixing your own colors is best. I just didn't know what some of the colors were like that Judea Bitumen never seen or heard of that color before. Also, thought well if the kit says to use this or that color might as well my those colors. But holy cow OcCre paints are expensive. I will definitely look into getting those books and also look up the other information everyone suggested. Thanks again. KG (Kurt) -
I like the way you planked the deck. Nice job. I'll be starting my river boat this winter (maybe in a few weeks) but I have wrote a message in the Painting section. I'll post it below.

Here is a list of colors: 19141 - Judea Bitumen 19142 - Primer 19300 - White 19301 - Black 19305 - Ochre 19306 - Yellow 19307 - Dark Brown 19310 - Red 19314 - Light Green 19315 - Dark Green 19380 - Gold 19381 - Copper 19382 - Silver 19384 - Grey1 19386 - Grey3 19209 - Satin Varnish Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm not posting correctly. What I'm looking for is a conversion chart or list of other paint colors for the OcCre Mississippi riverboat. I sorry but 124 bucks for paint colors is way too much for me. One of the colors that is puzzling to me is 19141 - Judea Bitumen. What color is this?? I come from the model railroad world and I'm thinking it's like a grimy black or engine black (hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about. The other colors seem to be pretty common. Here's a complete list of paint colors I'm looking for a conversion of Vallejo or Mission Models or MicroMark paint colors. 19141 - Judea Bitumen 19142 - Primer 19300 - White 19301 - Black 19305 - Ochre 19306 - Yellow 19307 - Dark Brown 19310 - Red 19314 - Light Green 19315 - Dark Green 19380 - Gold 19381 - Copper 19382 - Silver 19384 - Grey1 19386 - Grey3 19209 - Satin Varnish Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone I’ve been building models for many years mostly model railroad structures and things. Also have scratch built some 1:12 and 1:8 scale horse drawn vehicles. Basically saying have some modeling experience. Ship building is a whole different ball game with all the rigging the names of different items etc. my first model of any thing water related was a strip canoe which was a kit but had allot of fun doing it. Thought I would try another model and decided on the Mississippi Riverboat by OcCre. Looks like a challenge and good winter project. I’m talking to much but hope to have many conversations with many of you as I built the River boat.
