Sticks useful for stirring paint and glue.
Cars useful for doing car things.

Hobby stuff is where you find it, and I find it in the hardware store, the hobby shop, the craft store, the supermarket, the dollar store.

I think wargamers can see a possible/potential use for anything other than what the manufacturer intended….

Nice looking car that, Id prefer mine to be British racing green with that white stripe though.

My wooden sticks came from the German restaurant. I was eating schnitzel when somebody knocked over the container of wooden coffee stir sticks all over the floor. The staff picked them up and put them in the trash but were happy to let me fish them out and take them home for hobby uses.

Sometimes, one must act on the spur of the moment!

I saved them for use as construction materials and hadn't thought of using them for stirring. The toothpicks I try to use for stirring are just ever so slightly too short, so I will give this a try.

korsun0 that would be nice.

Grelber, stir sticks are also great for stirring! I use them too, but the thicker sticks like these work better for the older thicker paints. Some of my paints include Polly 3 which went out of business in 2013 so they are at least that old.

Thanks for reading.

Mike
