Model Colors

I’ve used this app for about three years. I find it to be wonderfully helpful! Yes, there was a time after an IOS update that it crashed when I would scroll down my HUGE stash of models, but the developer has been very responsive and dedicated, and was eventually able to identify the problem. In my case it was because of my 220+ model stash. Now it works like a charm. If you identify a problem get involved with his Discord development thread. He’s a great guy. Realize that he is a one man show not a company, and this is a hobby for him not how he makes a living. Be patient, and participate in testing with him. I’m 100% happy with this app and hope the developer continues supporting it for years to come!

I just got back into miniature painting after a long hiatus. While the focus of this app is not on wargaming/miniature painting, it has a very complete database of colors from a wide selection of brands. The UI is admittedly a little clunky, but it only takes a little while to work with it and it all makes sense. The other thing is the Model scales all apply to, say, model airplanes/tanks/cars, that sort of thing, but I am a miniature painter. I’d love to see applicable scales for that sort of thing. These minor quibbles I have aren’t enough for me to knock off anything from my rating, though. If you paint models of any sort, this is a great way to track your paint inventory and catalog your work! Kudos to the app developer for his/her hard work!

If you enjoy modeling of aircraft, tanks, ships, trains, etc, and have a large paint collection or need a place to note your paint requirements, this is THE app to have. Before I found this, I was in the process of logging everything I had and needed on an Excel spreadsheet. This goes far beyond a spreadsheet by providing paint chips of the color you select, giving a visual reference of the color, as well linking colors to projects, so you can identify what you need. It also includes a large list of paint collections; not just the major brands such as Vallejo, Ammo, and Testors, but many others that are not well known (to me at least). Best of all, it is free. There is a tip jar, which I will be filling shortly, as I want this app to continue well into the future, but there is no pressure to pay for the app. No advertisements either.
