Badger Paint Mixer

[psyberwolfe1]

Does anyone have the Badger paint mixer/stirrer? Can it fit in an MSP Bottle? I was also think of making a custom stirrer to mount in my Dremel. Thoughts?

I have one. It will not fit in any in a Reaper MS, or HD, or Vallejo bottle.

Good to know. I guess it's custom made Dremel stirrer then.

And when you have that done, please let us know how you built it. One that would fit inside a Vallejo bottle would be a godsend.

I'd imagine some heavy gauge wire or a nail head with a few thinner flexible gauge wires to make a little mini whisk should work.

 

Or maybe take a nail, pound it flat, grind/drill a few thin channels/holes into it to make a paddle.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

 

ETA: Floral wire wrapped around nail head. Glued and then sealed with green stuff.

Simplest would probably be to bend a paper clip to a squarish S-shape, leaving a centered shaft, then just drop that into your drill/mototool. You'll have to adjust the balance to put the center of mass on the axis of the bit.

That's a miniature dough hook!

 

Hmmm I wonder if any of my other Stand Mixer attachments would work in miniature
