can anyone reccomend something for measuring the ammounts of paints to put into a wash? I tried putting it in one of those plastic medicine cups but i lost some of the paint because it dried up
I use eye droppers that I get the local drugstore. Use the TLAR method of mixing(That Looks About Right). I usually don’t keep any on hand, just mix enough to use when I’m ready to weather and when finished dispose of the remainder.
I usually mix the thinner and paint in a bubble pack that over the counter cold pills come in. Put two full droppers of thinner in and then aid my color paint (black,sand, brown, grey etc). After I get a mixture that I feel will work, I apply it to one of my paint hulks, adjusting the mixture untill I get what I want (usually have to add color). Keep the mixture until I’m finished. If you are really carefull (don’t spill it or put it somewhere that you can spill it) and cover it (piece of cardboard), it will remain useful for up to a week. When I’m finished, I just dispose of the remaining wash. Works for me.
For measuring paint I either use plastic pippettes that have measuring markings(most HS over here stock a selection).
Or empy/replacement Glass bottles made by either Gunze or Tamiya, some of those also have measuring markings on them, I use those for when I make larger amounts like flesh or similar.
