Do you use your finger as a painting tool? Not fingerpainting like in Kindergarten, but using your finger to smudge, fade, mix, or otherwise manipulate that has been applied to a miniature? I suppose if you actually fingerpaint, that's cool too. I do, but mostly on terrain pieces. Less often on vehicles and rarely on minis (though more on larger minis. |

Yes, sometimes. Usually it happens when I want a bit of texture in a specific area. |

Sometimes to quickly wipe off a touch of overpaint |

Sad to say, I'm with Timbo. I have used toothpicks, stir sticks, and whatever was handy to touch up bare spots on figures once in a while. Grelber |

No, but I use my finger and thumbnails as mixing palettes. |

I might use a finger to smear paint, but there's usually a better tool for the job, like the corner of a small foam sponge. |

So many jokes, so little time…. |

I use my finger to smear paint on suitably coloured horses, and on shields covered in animal skin. |

Far more often on terrain than figures. And far more often I grab piece of paper towel to get that job done to save the time of cleaning fingers. |
