Monument Hobbies expands PRO Acryl with six rich new miniature paints

Monument Hobbies pushed PRO Acryl deeper into serious hobby territory on April 14, 2026, with Expert Artist Acrylics Series 2, a six-color release built for miniature painters, model painters, and other 3D surfaces. The new bundle pairs Chrome Oxide Green, Red Oxide Tint, Phthalo Turquoise Light, Quinacridone Magenta, Arylide Yellow Deep, and Alizarin Crimson Hue, giving painters a mix of primaries, vivid accents, and one earthy utility tone that can move from armor plates to cloth, monsters, and display-piece scenery without leaving the same paint family.

The pitch is not that these are just more colors. Monument Hobbies describes Expert Acrylics as the thicker, creamier version of its high-performance hobby paints, made to deliver maximum pigment density while still laying flat on fine detail. The company says the paints are designed for 3D surfaces, and its Europe-facing product page adds that they are formulated to go on ultra-smooth without obscuring details like chainmail or facial features. That places Series 2 in a useful middle ground for painters who want more body and more saturation than standard hobby acrylics, but do not want the heavy handling of traditional artist paint.

That balance matters at the bench. Monument Hobbies has long positioned PRO Acryl as a line built for consistent coverage, flow, and vibrancy in 22ml bottles, and Series 2 extends that idea into a denser format that still fits miniature work. The set is listed at $37.80, down from a $42.00 list price, while individual colors are priced at $7 each. Each paint comes sealed in a 30ml tube with an easy-access flip top lid, a detail that reinforces the company’s push toward a more painter-focused, higher-volume format.

The release also widened beyond paint bottles alone. Texture Trainer #2, The Hunter, sold separately, gives painters a larger miniature for testing skills and new techniques, and it was sculpted by William Tsang. Monument’s original Texture Trainer Set 1 included The Warrior, The Hunter, and The Crone, each with matching stands, and the new trainer keeps that same practical testing format alive. Put together, the paint set and the trainer line show Monument Hobbies doing more than adding colors: it is building a system for painters who want richer acrylic behavior, stronger coverage, and a bridge between miniature paint and fine-art handling that still belongs at the hobby desk.
