No bone shaming, i say Your necromancer is not to blame if the undead they raise are a bit off brand, surely. Edit: what a poo poo snipe. Have a terrible looking mummy for dodgy undead solidarity:

Ugh I didn't notice the resin spillover until I took the picture but I'm really happy with how this water base came out.

I cannot imagine packing an army to fly on a plane. That sounds like a recipe for heartbreak.

Lots of foam. I mailed myself an army last month during my move. Arrived 100% intact.

Fellow Mini Painters! Let's talk about water jars/cups. I'm curious what everyone uses to keep water at their painting station? I've been using a terrible old mug that was in the apartment when I moved in. It sucks, but that is just what I've always done. The funny thing is that I work in ceramics and can make pottery/ceramics both at the artisan and industrial levels. Despite that, I put up with this terrible cast mug! I've decided to make my own custom watercup. I'm curious what people use, and what they would want in a cup? I know I want somewhere to rest brushes as I switch between them, plus I want it to be stable, I'm not really sure past that. The water cup has always just been an afterthought to me. Right now I can't really see past the idea that it should just hold water for brushes, nothing more. What do you use now, and what would you want? Or am I some weird holdout and everyone moved on to something entirely different decades ago?

Dollar Tree sells resealable paint water cups that have brush holders, I have a few of them and they're wonderful https://www.dollartree.com/crafters-square-brush-cleaning-pot/313451 Silhouette fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Jun 8, 2023 |

I use 2 small glass mason jars, one for dirty water, one for slightly dirty water, and then a squirt bottle of water for keeping my wet palette topped up. If I paint with metallics I use only one jar of water for metallics.

Just been using a jar for water, although I'm giving thought to my workspace going forward. It's just so my paints and some kids on my kitchen table right now. I should at least get something to organise my paints, and should probably migrate it all to my office. I've not had any spillages in years but I think twice about painting in a carpeted room, does everyone do hobby stuff over hardwood? I already have a plastic carpet protector for my office chair so perhaps I just want a bigger one of those for when I move over to the hobby table.

I use two Talenti gelato containers for my dirty water and my metallic water. I like them because they are clear and I can see easily at a gland if I need to change the water. Then I have a third container of clean/rinse water. When I rinse the brush it goes into dirty water pot first and then into the rinse water pot, if needed.

Virtual Russian posted:Fellow Mini Painters! I used to use a mustard jar but recently I invested (£3! Price of a jar of mustard) on a collapsible Faber Castell pot. The nice thing is it has grooves on top so you can place a brush across for temp storage. Great when your painting table is a tiny desk.

I’ve got a fancy stainless steel water pot that my wife got me, it got a spring thing that holds your brushes point-down to dry. Before that I used a takeout soup container.

I bought it years ago on clearance and finally dug it out now to use. Before that it was a random plastic cup or a dedicated fancy brush bin thing from the 80s that my mom had. Gameenvy.net I think sells the same style collapsible cup for like $10.

I never in my life would have purchased the Official Games Workshop Citadel Water Cup, but, someone gave it to me as a gift and it's actually great. Flared shape so its hard to knock over, grooves on the inside for squeezing the paint out of your brush, a groove on top for holding your brush when not in use, it says citadel on it so I don't absent-mindedly drink the contents,

I use a cup from Longhorn Steakhouse I got like 10 years ago. My family went for my parents' anniversary or something and my mom wanted a refill on a flavored iced tea they had and the server brought her a regular iced tea nad this kids' cup of the syrup. It's got a bunch of lil cartoon eagles and bears. Oh, and some ducks.

I was given a Paint Puck at christmas and it's pretty handy. It's silicone with a clear plastic middle part, it breaks down easily for cleaning, has brush holders around the endge, and a knobbly surface at the bottom for end-of-use brush cleaning. https://www.amazon.com/Paint-Classroom-Silicone-Watercolor-Water-Based/dp/B08516JBXM?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

Doritos salsa jar for water. Its not particularly good salsa, but sometimes you are in the mood for trash, and the jar has a nice low center of gravity (so I'm less likely to spill it) and a nice wide mouth.

If your brush isn't naturally coming to a sharp point when you wet it e: with water, you either have a bad brush, or you haven't been cleaning it properly.
