This is a regular occurrence when I walk past the Tamiya Spray Paints 🤣 I got to pick up one colour somehow end up with about ten…

We’re talking mixing paints again today folks, but this time we’re letting a little machine do the work for us 😆.

This is our Kent Models Model Paint Shaker Machine and it’s a really handy little gadget to have around.

Rather than sitting there and shaking your paints yourself, this little gizmo does it for you. Simple!

I’ve grabbed one to show you how it works in today’s video, so have a watch and let me know what you think. 🤩

If you do fancy adding one to your workbench, you can do so via the link: https://www.kentmodels.co.uk/product/kent-models-paint-shaker-gismo-machine-mixes-your-paint-pots-great/

You know when you pick up a jar of paint and half of it seems to have settled at the bottom?

Well, I’ve got a little something to show you today that helps with exactly that!

These are the Mr Hobby Mr Metal Mixing Balls and they’re such a simple little idea, but really handy for getting your paints properly mixed.

Just pop 2-4 balls into your jar, give it a good shake and they help mix all that pigment that’s settled at the bottom. Especially useful for metallics, mattes and pearlescent paints.

I’ve filmed a quick video to show you how they work, have a watch and see what you think!

The Mr Hobby Mr Cap Opener… a very simple little gadget but actually a really handy one!

We’ve all had those paint jars where the cap has basically decided it’s never coming off again - usually thanks to a bit of dried paint around the lid!

This tool gives you a much better grip and helps get those stubborn Mr Hobby caps open without quite so much of a fight.

The video probably explains it better than I can… have a look!
