Yeah good spotting there Scott, I got a hand full of other older paints which have survived the test of time.

I think they had to change the paints cause they just never ran out and never dried up. Some of the older bottles are missing half the rim but it still makes a better seal then the rubbish pots they use today. Quite frankly the new ones seem to be mixed with a drying accelerant.

There were a couple greens in an imperial armour paint set I got 14+ years to the left and above billious green (the bright green). I think they are the ones I will miss the most when I run out.

Wow, nostalgia. Some of those paints must be about 10 years old or more. They never should have stopped producing those old paint bottles. THEY NEVER DRY OUT. I still have some emerald green from when I first started collecting Warhammer about 12 years ago.

I love the table, I’ll have to think about making one of those up myself just so I don’t have to keep all my paints in a plastic bag.

Cheers Steve, its just below knee hight and I use it mostly as a tool box to hold my stuff.

I most often can be found painting in the lounge watching movies and the low hight suits our lounge chairs quite well.
