My latest blog, 'Dont just do it, B&Q it!' where I explain how to get cheap paints for your scenery that will match commercial ranges. It' s an old tip but worth a reminder!

I hope that it helps. Happy Modelling!

I was just going to post something similar! I have a three color build (Graveyard Earth to Khaki) I do for bases as well that I had the Home Depot mix up quarts of. I use it for all terrain stuff to ensure consistency and I also decanted it into smaller bottles for desktop use and it works a treat for basic painting.

I've often considered this but having had no major terrain projects the past couple of years I kept putting it off.

Plus I kind of assumed I'd have to but at least a regular paint pot sized quantity. Those pots you've had done up would be a perfect size for me and my foreseeable projects. Thanks!
