Alternative Paints

[Zorcon]

I use model paints (GW, Reaper, Vallejo, Army, and I still have some Poly S) as well as craft paint. I only use craft paint on large scale projects (ie building, terrain, battle boards) for the reasons already mentioned.

To second Jimmy Zimms, I have converted all of my model paints to dropper bottles that I picked up dirt cheap on eBay.

I also add an agitator to every bottle. Back in the day when I was an ignorant youth I used BBs and the corroded in the bottle. Now I buy Hematite beads at the craft store. They are relatively cheap, wont corrode/rust, and are heavy enough to actually agitate!

Oh good note about agitators. For the record "regular" stainless steel will corrode though maritime rate will not. If you don't skulk around the docks however you're not going to find the latter available for cheap.

Any glass beads should work great as well and should be available from any craft store.

PS Reaper paints come with a built in agitator
