Make your own DIY Wet Palette - BUT... which paper? baking? parchment? greaseproof paper? 

Thanks for the comment! Ive got more videos planned, just been busy with work (and also playing and painting Kings of War!)

There's definitely some contradiction between UK and US terms for baking parchment / paper and wax paper. I've realised that all that really matters is that the paper does the job you expect, consistently, and hopefully it's then useful! Thanks for the comment 👍

Cool! Oh yeh that school toilet paper was like a thinned down version of tracing paper!!

How well did the lid seal? Did the paint dry or did it get wetter after a few days?

@@NoProcrastinationMiniatures I only used it for a couple of days but it worked great and the paints were as good as when I started.

Useful, I was thinking of buying that. I remember UK schools in the 60s with memories of pointless toilet paper. I see things didn't improve!

Thanks for the comment... I do plan to finish the set and do videos... it's amazing how time has flown!

Thanks dude! Yes, totally fine. The reason for a lack of videos is that I've been really busy at work but also doing a slow build KoW campaign at a local club I joined has had me doing LOADS of KoW hobby! Got my first tournament at a new local store in a couple of weeks too! I've built and painted a lord on frostfang, a regiment of huscarls (inc lots of converted models), a Snow Queen, more snow foxes and trolls and a Cavern Dweller, also I've converted a giant for Hrimm (posted a pic on the Kings of War Northern Alliance FB page) and started some ice elementals. I'll have painting videos for most of this, hopefully in a month or so!

@@NoProcrastinationMiniatures looked around your channel - is it just me or is the KOW video gone?

I haven't removed and videos 🙂 got a few more KoW and Space Crusade video footage done, just havent had time to edit and finish them yet

Hi, thanks. I use 'Major brushes', some ok cheap synthetic brushes available in the UK (red handles) and Rosemary & Co series 33 or Windsor and Newton series 7 sable for careful work. I can't remember exactly which of those is in this video but it'll be one of those!

@@NoProcrastinationMiniatures Thank you so much for replying! I will check them out! The ones I am using do not hold their tip and I struggle to do detail at the eyes and other tiny details such as the dots you added to the head on the mini.

Nothing immediate due to having a lot of work on, but I do have some more Space Crusade and Kings of War painting footage filmed already 👍

Not heard of thr reynolds paper before. There's definitely an element of condensation in the sealed box, but I can also see some definite signs of very small amounts of water coming up through the parchment (before closing the lid for the night). I think with all things like this it's not really a 'does' or 'doesn't' work, but that different paper produces different results- it's more a case of making sure the same paper works the same consistently and then at least you can be reasonably sure of the results you'll get. It's when it's inconsistent that it's really annoying so I stick with the same paper now

Thanks man. These guys have got pretty big heads / eyes which really helps!

Agreed! Stellar!!! Any chance you might do a few videos on the focus of details, such as faces or armor and the like?

Let me know if you notice anything different 👍

my first time using a wet palette but the tesco one appeared to work same as the ones in your vid

Thanks for the comment, good info 👍. Is there any proper evidence that allowing air in will stop the binder separation? I've found some paints separate really easily on a wet pallete even when continuously exposed to the air. I have though noticed that clipping it shut does speed up mildew risk- in warm weather in particular. I've concluded that I wouldn't want to lick the brush after using a wet pallete for more than a few days either way!!

@@NoProcrastinationMiniatures Hey. I'm actually an acrylic landscape painter, but I think the same rules apply (except that the tube paint is a tad thicker than Citadel-type paints). It's just from lots of trial and error. I always found my paints would break down after a couple of days, till I tried the lid-slightly-open trick, which cured it! What you are doing with the stay wet palette is making a little micro-climate. If the atmosphere is overly moist and contained, the mould spores just love it. So a tiny gap just shifts things out of their favour a bit. Another thing I do, is have a dispersion water spray bottle handy to re-wet the palette now and then when it is open, but that may not be needed with modelling paints. By the way, thank you for doing a detailed analysis on the paper sorts. I recently moved to Germany, so I'm going through the process of trying to find a suitable palette paper all over again. Nightmare!

I use Distilled Water - to prevent mildew...never tap water. Learned the hard way....

🥳🥳

Same. Also, the pigment spreads everywhere.

@@leonidaspereirafilho499 yeah I never got a solution either so that's pretty cool

@@dumbdickler670 you're using too much water =)

1-2 hours sounds pretty fast. I find some paints seem to take in water faster and separate faster. As with any tool, as long as the effect is consistent you can at least work with it knowing what to expect

The felt needs a lot of water for it to work. A sponge would've worked better with less water
