Good day all. Zak here from Cape Town South Africa.
Busy getting my painting station ready. It has been years since I last painted any warhammer miniatures. I have loads of old paints I am fairly certain that most of them are going to be bone dry and useless.
I was given some stuff by my friend Ren to help me get started:
The brown ones are made of thin boards that have been lasercut, they hold all the Citadel Paints. The black ones were 3D printed and hold Army Painter paints.
I have now packed out all the paints and fitted the stands with all I can. I also stuck in all the Army Painter paints into slots. So I have more racks than I need really. I am going to but the excess ones out of the way for now.
Army Painter paints (online) seem to go for around $3.50 to $3.75 each. They are able to 100% match some of the other paints.
On the left are some old style paint jars you do not even get anymore.
These newer bottles hold a lot more of the paint that will probably be usable. They go for around $4.80 or R90 locally I think. Quite a lot if you have to buy a lot of colors all once. Most of the time, you should build up your collection over time!
I also found some glue, some basic material and some really old Green Stuff. I wonder if the Greenstuff will still work?
Right after a lot of sorting I have put together the following groups:
Left to Right:
First batch on the Left: These guys are bone dry and are beyond any hope of reclamation.
Second batch on the Left: These pots are also dry but have a lot of paint in them. They are water paint so I will add water and at a later stage attempt to do some mechanical mixing.
Third batch from the Left: These guys need just a bit of water and a light stir and should be OK!
Last batch, the one on the Right: This stuff is liquid and ready to use, a lot of inks are in this batch as well!
Well, that was a lot of work sorting all these paints out.
One big thing that is going to bother me right now: What do I paint first/next?
Until next time!
Cheers!
