    yep, I CANT STAND droppers, I'm a cap man until my last day!

    I think it's because I never clean my palate (or as some people call it, my Warhammer fantasy movement tray caked in paint), and it's about a 9-11mm thick now in places, if I used a dropper all that unused paint I think would make this scheme unmanageable.

    I like those old pop tops - got three or four of them myself still from WAAAY back and I love them. Any way to buy those empty?

    Hell of a paint pallet Eric - use a plate myself.

    GW mostly.....I have a few VMC but couldn't get away with them.??
    The newer flip tops are OK if you remember to keep em closed.
    Those screw on fekkers had me spewing ink everywhere though.

    Everything I have is GW, and most of it is passed down stuff with that screw on lid and just about every last one of them has teeth marks or plier marks where I've had to force my way into the pot.

    I took all mine into my local GW and gave them to a couple of kids. There was nearly 70 pots - they thought I was mental I think, but they were sat around drying out...

    Staff looked a little dis-chuffed too :thumb:

    I used to use those Delta Ceramcoat craft paints that you can buy at Wal-Mart, and never realized how much they sucked until I finally got some Vallejo MC's. Now I don't know how I ever managed with those other paints. Grumb also gave me a bottle of ? Reaper Masters ?, I'm not sure, it didn't have a label and the bottle is near identical to Vallejo's. It's a nice shade of red, though. Red's my fav color! Thanks, Grumb!

    :tea:

    Those old screw-off caps GW used to sell, I think were just a clever marketing ploy on GW's part. Sure, the paint would dry out faster, then you have to go buy more!

    EVIL! :evil:
