With the station project nearing completion, I needed to paint two figures before I could wrap it up for now. But before I did that I decided to insert a mini-project I'd been putting off for a while. I store my paint bottles in a tray down in a file box. This works well but has one major flaw - I can't tell what color the paint is unless I lift out the bottle and look. And even then it isn't accurate since the paint will dry a slightly different color than the way it looks through the semi-translucent bottle. So a while back I asked my wife for some of these little round stickers and she happily shared them with me and there they sat, with the paints, for months. Okay, maybe it has been a little longer.
The two figures for the station were not the sole impetus for this project, however. There lays ahead a far greater painting task, one calling for paint that performs better than these craft paints, at least as they are straight out of the bottle. And that's the subject of another post...
