Ok. I forgot humbrols. Tiny tins, great coverage, horrible smell and mess. They have advantages but I ruined too many clothes.
I seem to have several paint sets. About 20-30 Tamiya acrylics for airbrushing, a ton of Vallejo, (100+) and GW washes, plus even a couple of humbrol acrylics. Their yellow and their clear gloss are terrific. Wouldn't all fit in a tin. Then there's tools, clamps, saws, drills etc. Maybe a sleeper trunk, but not a tin.
What's on your workbench?

The paint of champions, Sir! (a cheeky bouquet, full-bodied with a smoky finish. Ideal paired with chips scavenged from a bin and enjoyed with friends under the M4 flyover)
I'll take a picture and post it up when I get home in the morning.

More of the weirdness. This is definitely a background activity, but some day I'm going to have the weirdest Saga Fantasy army this side of Hasslefree...

Re: What's on your workbench?
I loved humbrol enamels, sadly white spirit and turps hated me to the point that I changed to acrylics or gave up painting.Shahbahraz wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 7:09 pm Ok. I forgot humbrols. Tiny tins, great coverage, horrible smell and mess. They have advantages but I ruined too many clothes.

You're meant to clean your brushes and thin paint with them, not drink them.

I tried that too, but no good either.

I'm told that cutting it with orange juice helps, (when drinking, not cleaning). Amazing what you can learn from working with single homeless. (That and back in the day, 78 Gramophone records could be melted down for their alcohol content.)

Never knew that one!
Humbrols are the only paints I would ever use, just don't serve G&T in the same vessel as turps.

Here you go: The Box of Delights. It can't be any bigger, as it's all got to go back into my locker at the end of a shift:

Ooh now there's a good bit of brush curl there
