Humbrol is a brand of hobby and miniature paint mostly known for selling a notorious cheap but low quality thick colourful gunk, that pretends to be enamel paint in little tins at hobby-stores
This gunk has the interesting chemical ability of being able to dry within its hermetically sealed container while never fully drying when it is in the open air or painted on a model or component.
It also has a special consistency that makes it clog on and hide the details while still revealing the prime coat on flat open surfaces.
Some old model builders claim that Humbrol paint used to be of a god quality before the production got outsourced from the UK to China and that the quality improved after the production was moved back to the UK.

"You have ruined that airfix model with that Humbrol paint."
"There is a free chewing gum or similar substance in the bottom of every tin of Humbrol Enamel paint, if you stir it for 4 hours it might dissolve."

Get the Humboldt Hack mug.A person from or residing in Humboldt County, CA and living the North Coast hippie lifestyle. Humboldtians are calm, nurturing people who are somewhat oblivious to the outside world and are all about supporting their local community. A Humboldtian is typically white, works on a local farm or buys veggies from the farmers market, and dresses like they shop in a thrift store of clothes from the 1990's. Humboldtian students are passionate about biology, natural resources, and art and value weirdness and uniqueness above all else. Humboldtians care so much about the environment that they get upset when the temperature is above 70 degrees because "it's not good for the area."
"She makes her own soap, raises goats, volunteers at the farm, and she never gets angry...she's a true Humboldtian."
"I met a cute Humboldtian at the barn dance - he's in a bluegrass band."
"Did you see all the Humboldtians playing bongo drums during the kinetic sculpture race?"
