Re: Airbrushing Water-Base Paints
Not the same thing Brian. A caddy is for one or two items. It has to take up minimal workspace.

Re: Airbrushing Water-Base Paints
Those are great! You probably could sell them on Ebay (or Amazon!) to modelers -- sized for each brand. :-)

Re: Airbrushing Water-Base Paints

Re: Airbrushing Water-Base Paints
I read somewhere about putting a small nut in Vallejo style bottles to aid in mixing via shaking. Don't use a round object such as a ball bearing- it will clog the tip!
