The things I'm saving for aren't as exciting and glamorous as most things people here are saving for, but as someone who has been gifted often, I decided yesterday to take down all of my wish lists and make a new one containing only items I will eventually be purchasing for myself. I tried to include little frivolity and I will remove items from the list as I purchase them. This way I feel like at least I'm moving towards a goal. (My indie cosmetics line.)

The main thing on the list is this little paint shaker which would be used to mix my hand made nail polishes.

The Robart Paint Shaker ~$40

Nice!
Just make sure to also eventually buy something that can maintain those pots. Either a commercial or home-made shaker or rotator or oscillator. An oscillating multi-tool with sander plate, you could glue some pots to to shake them...?

For cheap go for this but I've heard mixed reports on its longevity.

Cheers on having all the paints ever!

yea yours is totally more killer at paint shaking and probably last another 20-30 years! I expect this one to explode on me :D. I was going to get this https://www.amazon.com/Robart-ROB411-Paint-Shaker-Powered/dp/B0006O7M9W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483397723&sr=8-2&keywords=paint+shaker but it doesn't ship to NZ

Also a paint shaker is a good investment. It is expensive though

Thanks!

It's... An overly complicated process. I started painting this army in 2008, and at the time it included a lot of dry brushing. There were no good yellow sprays, and foundation paints were kinda shitty too.

If I were to start nowadays, I'd keep it MUCH simpler though, but I do love the warm yellow. All in all, I'm glad I've been forced down this path for relative consistency though.

After A LOT of trial and error, the method I'm using right now is this:

1. GW Averland Sunset spray
   
2. 2-3 THIN spray coats (like, the thinnest possible) of Tamiya PS-19 Camel Yellow
   
3. Krylon matte varnish. This is necessary because PS-19 dries super duper slick and otherwise... Nothing sticks to it.
   
4. 2-3 spray layers, including a zenithal highlight of Vallejo Game Air Gold Yellow (72.707)
   
5. Highlights are GW classic Golden Yellow, but Vallejo Gold Yellow would do as well
   
   
   
   ^ I managed to find a consignment store online that had a fresh-from-GW six-pack of sealed from the factory Golden Yellow circa 2008. I've been using ball bearings, Lahmian Medium, and a Robart paint shaker to keep them usable.
   
   If you choose to copy my method... Emperor be with you.
