Is this possible? I am happy to only take about 5 pots and one brush and a couple of models. I have a 14 hour flight and it would be a pretty nice way to pass the time.

Has anyone tried taking paint through security?

I'm travelling for work so it's not a leisure trip and I regularly fly. I struggle to sleep and with the fact I travel quite alot the flights are becoming really quite boring! I just thought I may be able to get some painting time in, and time flies when I'm painting aswell (excuse the pun)!

The flights are smooth enough to do some painting, it will be fine!

Didn't bother in the end as due to problems with the plane, I was dropped down to economy, so not really enough room. Am off to China again soon so will give it a go then.

I really can't see any problem doing it on the plane. A paint pot isn't going to go anywhere in anything but the severest turbulence, they serve boiling hot coffee on them...I've yet to have one spill.

Will update this when I get a chance.
