You can then stand each one as you work on it in something like a jam jar or slab of polystyrene.Geminianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461339174700258390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-41313762946341382012012-02-21T10:31:50.813+00:002012-02-21T10:31:50.813+00:00Thanks, it's a burden we bear.....Thanks, it's a burden we bear.....The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-66032367135960045142012-02-20T23:59:13.804+00:002012-02-20T23:59:13.804+00:00@Rodger and Geminian - the technique I'm using...@Rodger and Geminian - the technique I'm using actually lends itself very well to mass painting and ensures a good mix of horse colours within units (my Sarmatians are irregulars after all). What I'm dreading at the moment is painting the riders separately - I still haven't worked out how I'm going to fix them for painting ***any suggestions are very welcome***<br /><br />@Fran - I've heard of this manflu.

I saw someone using it for Vallejo/Reaper paints in a video and thought that was an idea worth copying. Each compartment can take 8-10 paints (I think the case could hold 140-150 bottles).<br /><br />@Paul - I do try to keep the area clean, although not always successfully.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-60125952796579546852012-02-19T21:14:06.431+00:002012-02-19T21:14:06.431+00:00EEEEE!
