International Scale Modeller

Paul uses a paint brush wash pot at about 16.20 in Aircraft Modelling Techniques Part 1. anyone know where I can get something similar?

He uses undiluted windshield washer fluid that they sell in the UK.
I don't know where he got the little bucket though.

the windshield washer fluid I have, Its the pot I want or something like it

Ah.. For that you'll have to ask the man himself.

You should be able to get them in any craft type shop.

ie Hobby-craft or local equivalent.

It's a citadel one it's the perfect size and has holders on the side to hold brush submerged but not allowing them to touch the base of it. Games workshop sell them and you can also get the from a lot of online places, and it's about £3-£4 in price.

Cheers mate, there goes more of my money

I use a glass tumbler.......and water.

Years of using water based acrylics have gotten me into the really bad habit of washing my brush out in the tumbler, then cleaning it off in my mouth! Hahaha, prob really bad, but it does ensure your brush retains its point not too bad!

I have one now.
and I'm not sure but yeah you prob shouldn't suck paint.

interesting !!!!

I might look into that one as well

that is exactly what I do Gav, I also claim it maintains the point on the brush

Don't do it after an oil/white spirit wash though, takes a couple of measures of port to get rid of the taste.

I do the same thing lol, i bet most people do to be fair, unless the three of us are just really weird

If coen does it then that settles it, were all weird lol

Mind you... it is a clever modeller's insult.
Go suck paint....

nice ring to it.

Who's got the nice ring

looking at it differently....

if you look at the small Citadel cup one...
I think the paint brush "holder" is neat if you have to leave your brush dipping in Solvent
in case you left it Harden loaded with paint ?

So could it be used more as a Paint brush SOAKER ?
Some products are sold as "Paint Brush Saver" !!!

I have some brushes I had to toss out due to negligence !
This might be the new tool I was looking for ?

Thanks for this post !

Will people stop pointing out great items to have as I keep buying them. Lol
