Which one do you recommend for easy painting of white miniatures?


I bought Ceramite White and within a month or two that darn thing tends to dry up pretty fast. No matter how much water I put on my brush before dunking it in the pot, I still cant get it past the paste-like state without having to go to the kitchen sink and add more than just a few droplets of water.

Ceramite is a base colour, so it is much thicker. Try using a Wet pallet instread of directly from the pot. the wet pallet adds just enough moisture to the paint to make it easier to apply.

Also, its sometimes easier to to use a light grey and then a white.

I really recommend the wet pallet. I picked one up a couple months back and it really extends the life of the paint you put on the pallet. I've come back the next day and been able to use the paint I'd put on the pallet from the previous day. Instead of rushing to get the paint on the model I'm now able to take my time.

I highly recommend Flow Aid. I use a few bases, and ran into the same problem before I had a friend turn me on to it.
