I bought way too many 1/6 etc white resin nude Asian figures.

Once I figure out a good mix of colors, is there a way to save the paint
so I can brush it on the other figures at a later date, or do I just
need to remix each time???

thought about sealing it in an empty photo film canister....

thx - Craig

That should work pretty well, esp. if you put it in the fridge.

Along with the tip of refridgeration, add a bit of linseed oil. It acts as an
extender and should allow you to rework your paint when you're ready.
When you are ready to start painting again, you may have to add a bit more
thinner. This will help get the drying time back in line.

I guess it's unlikely you could paint them all at one time?
I've painted several kits at the same time when they all use the same
colours but I don't know how many figures is too many. ;)

Eight. All in various compromising poses. I think I would get a bit
distracted after the 2nd or 3rd....:)

Yeah, I can see how that would be a problem. Have you discussed this
with the Mrs.? :)
