Paint Collection

[Last Hussar]

Just been sorting out the paints - moving them to the new box

4 greys, 6 (SIX!) greens (+1 repeat), 3 browns, 2 purples, 2 blue, 2 Citadel flesh, 2 citadel flesh wash, 2 black, 1 white, 2 sand yellows, textured mud, 4 silver, 1 gold, 1 copper, 1 tin, 4 washes (green blue red and brown).

NO BLOODY REDS.

How have I got no red?

I have red, along with more paint - artists acrylics etc, but no decent model red.

You're obviously not into fire-engines, flame-throwers and Father Christmas.

I looked at my collection I only have one red...and only one blue as well...might have to rectify that

[Ithoriel]

Of my 152 pots of paint and ink only 8 are any shade of red.

Of all the fabrics and furnishings in my house ... 8 are a shade of red.

Spooky eh?

I think it shows you need to be much more careful when shaking them

But they mix so much better with the pot tops removed

I seem to have about 20 varying  shades of grey. Why?

I see this topic descending into Chaos after that comment

20 shades of grey - your either a Confederate fanatic or a sado-masochist.

Masochist: "whip me"
Sadist: "no"

wait for it waiiitttt for iiiit.....

The book didn't mean you have to paint the bed in many shades of grey, that doesn't work 

[Last Hussar]

Checked again.  The Green I though was a repeat wasn't.  I then found a repeat Green.

Hopefully with the advent of the Really Useful painting Box I won't keep thinking I need a colour, not knowing I already have it

Being me,
My paints are eclectic and disorganised containing several repeats.
Including 2 of the same salmon pink!
I know i have the french 1809 Macdonalds corp, and some Northern Bolton pike, but when else do i use those, and why did i think i needed another pot!

It's when you have several shades of black you start wondering if you haven't gone a little over the top....
