I manage to live without a wet pallete and a painting handle… I wouldn't want to be without a hefty flat engineering file for filing down bases, a lot of small files for fettling figures before undercoating, big cheap brushes (but not so cheap that they shed hairs) for undercoating and varnishing, and the mini-table saw, whilst not essential, makes cutting plywood for bases far faster and less of a pain. |

I poo-pooed the Citadel Water Pot until I tried one. I have tons of tools I don't need but the paint pot is still here. |

Never had a wet palate nor do I expect to get one – the water pot sounds interesting but I have an old cup I use – and I have an air brush but rarely use it |

I never used a wet palette until a very dear friend who was a professional miniature painter kept on me to get one. After I kept making excuses, He finally gave me one, and more to placate him than anything else, I tried it. And got hooked! Big time. It was a true game changer. Now it's one of the three indispensable tools on my workbench, the others being a quality lamp and my Optivisor. |
