Brother Mitch Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi guys, I was digging around some old stuff I found still at my parents house and came across the old Lizardman Paint set (just the warammer paint set thingy). Can't find any of the models, but to my surprise there was still paint and TWO different types of paint brush in it!! Woo hoo. So I found a fine detail and normal brush, which wont really go wrong, anything I can do to bring them back to their best? (just they've been sitting in a box for almost what 8 years now.) Secondly, the paints are also a bit funny, they smell alright, if smell can be gone on? but they have kind of congealed into a weord blob, they were lying on their sides. Is there any way to resurrect the paints? there still squishy, i thought maybe some water and a good shake? Anyways suggestions are greatly welcomed?? Thanks Brother Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenley Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 If water can not bring them back they are junk, and paint thinner will probably ruin them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Brushes should be fine. Add some water to the paints and give them a good mix with a cocktail stick (one stick per paint obv.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizzap88 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 if they are a liquidy blob, water should bring them back from the edge, you could always try a paint thinner as well (get one from a hobby shop). And a bit of advice, after putting the water (or thinner) in, grab a small bit of either junk plastic sprue, or prefferably a bit of metal sprue (like the tab off the bottom of a etal model, or a tab of any piece, and chuck that in the pot, it helps break up the blob of paint when you shake it.

Carmine_the_Wolf Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sounds disgusting, but spitting a small bit of saliva into the pot works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Mitch Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thank you brothers for your kind replies. Seeing as there are multiple pots of paint, I might try using all of the different techniques. Btw, Carmine_the_Wolf, how exactly did you find out saliva works? Just spitting in your paint pots one day?? :tu: Anyways, I will try to bring them back to some semblance of order, otherwise I will have to go buy more paint! :( Brother Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
