My friend showed my a company that sells Vallejo like dropper tubes that come empty, does anyone know where to get these?

Reaper makes some bottles that come in a 3 pack that are a bit like the Vallejo bottles. I found that they were a little more prone to clogging then Vallejo's however. I would suggest either widening them with a paper clip or storing them upside down so no paint gets dried up in the nozzle.

As for where to get them, a few places have them. I got them from the warstore when I picked up mine. Hope this helped!

It was a while ago, i think it was a scientific company that had them for sell, thy didn't look exactly like velajo bottles, but close enough, would make mixing easier for sure.

vallejo 70.096 (VAL70096)is what you are looking for. Not a lot of retailers stock them, but they do exist.

I bought a bunch of these - I wound up paying $65 or so and getting 100 or so bottles and tops. I had dreams of selling the excess bottles on ebay to recoup my costs, but gave up after my second auction (I did make back about half though). I just spent 10 minutes looking through my email, and can't find where I got them. I do have some left if you're interested, not to be all hawking my own wares - it was some plastics site I got it from.

I think you want "natural", the white is opaque...

That US Plastic site seems pretty solid - 30 cents per bottle + $5 shipping is pretty reasonable (compared to $1.50/ea + $10 shipping for the vallejo!), and it doesn't look like they have a minimum order amount. That's not the site I got mine from, but it was someplace very similar. I would also suggest getting some lava beads to use as ball bearings somewhere on the ebays - ball bearings or the like will rust and ruin your paint.

You want natural as it is the see thru that we are used to. I used the US Plastics ones to convert over all my GW paints to bottles.
