In the past month, I've lost about 10 lbs because of a good routine (and pretty much stuck home) without too much effort. I finally found the right stretching exercise that helps with my upper back/neck pain. Too much hunching over computer/tablet/painting left me with a persistent kink and limiting my mobility. Taxes are done! Meaning I won't have to worry about that PITA for a whole year. Marinating my pork for several days (simple mix of BBQ sauce, soy sauce, spices) made a heck of a tasty different once it hit the slow cooker. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper_the_2nd Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: April 16 what paint do you use up the fastest? Primers, since I have way more primed than actually painted. Beyond those, Brown Liner (which I use as a primer), Reapers brush on Sealer (which I use when thinning paints), AP Strong Wash/GW Agrax Earthshade (I put that [email protected]#% on everything). Others depend on projects. I went through a bottle of War Front Dunkelgelb in about a week basecoating German Panzermecha a while ago.... 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: April 16 what paint do you use up the fastest? The ones I used most often are the off-white Bone colours (graveyard, dirty, polished, etc.) and the leather browns (oiled, tanned, lonestar). But in pure volume, currently it's Fireball Orange. I tried doing dragon wings, but the coverage is simply awful, so it was layer after layer after layer on large membranes. Had to rethink how I did those wings.

Inarah Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: April 16 what paint do you use up the fastest? Linen white and cloudy grey are the ones I've had to replace most often (twice on both). Not counting wash/ink products. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManvsMini Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: April 16 what paint do you use up the fastest? Probably a bone white from Vallejo. I do a lot of skeletons. Plus that particular VGC bottle always seems to clog, and I end up squirting out 10x the amount I need despite clearing it (this has prompted a change to P3 off-whites with a lid vs dropper bottle). 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 3 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: April 16 what paint do you use up the fastest? It's a four way tie - all craft paints: Delta Forest Green/DecoArt Avocado Delta Spice Brown Black White These are my four big go to colors when painting terrain and bases. The black and white I premix into colors I call Castle Grey Dark, Castle Grey Medium and Castle Grey Light (3:1, 1:1, 1:3 ratios of black to white respectively). When it comes to Reaper Paints, it's Brown Liner, hands down. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zink Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 4 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: April 16 what paint do you use up the fastest? Red and Bone/Khaki shades. I have a habit of nearly every mini I paint has some red on it even if it's just a slight accent on a gem or something. Bone shades get used a lot as undercoats for other colours and for light wood, bone and other things plus as highlights for hair and other things. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 16th: Probably Army Painter Strong or Dark Tone in bottles. I hate un-primered minis on the table for play, but I'll accept a shading coat of paint. Surprisingly it doesn't look half that bad, especially for pieces that are suppose to be metal like a sword blade or armor. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've completely used 3-4 bottles of paint in my life not including craft paints for terrain. A lot have been pitched because of the paint going bad. Back in my GW/Citadel days it was a yearly thing. Every fall I'd get back to painting and check the pots and throw out about a quarter of them because they'd dried out in the few months I hadn't painted. Still have a handful of those surviving paints in droppers now. Since switching to Vallejo droppers nearly 20 years ago I had a lot less bad ones but still a few. I only went big on Reaper a few years ago so none of them have died on me yet and I try to do a check and mix more often. I really should be doing that soon. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For traditional oils, Titanium White by a large margin. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
