Wet Palate: Do It Yourself or Buy One - It Makes Sense
No brainer - I should either "buy one" or "do this":
I 'discovered' the wet palatte when I visited top painter Tony Runkee who painted for Peter Gilder. It is a great way to preserve the paint and also apply to the figures. I use greaseproof paper as the actual mixing sheet and attempt to keep it damp all the time.I wouldnt buy one, its easier to make your own.
Buy the Army Painter one. Yes it's £15, but it has loads of brush slots etc so you can transport your painting kit around. Sometimes it makes sense to buy a premade item, particularly when they're good quality.
Christmas is coming Renko and certain people are looking for Xmas presents for me ;) plus it is another excuse to go the Warlord Games store for a browse ;)
