Keep your miniature paint wet and workable for long with the Everlasting Wet Palette Painter Lite from Redgrassgames, our most advanced hydration system yet at our most affordable price. I was able to put the Khorne Red straight onto the weapons of my Assault Intercessors without any difficulties at all, and after a good four or five coats, the colour was really starting to look rather good.

All the DIY solutions have been made out of some kind of container normally used to store food or something else.

If you’re a beginner to wet palettes, this is probably the best sort of size palette to start off with – you’ll have enough room to batch paint a squad of Space Marines or horde units. However, if you want to paint a massive model that demands a lot of different paints or space to practice wet blending the entire colour spectrum, you may have need of something bigger. This is relatively easy, just grab some paper towels (Kitchen-Roll in the UK) for the most accessible approach. Loo roll is a bit soft and nor normally large enough to cover teh area in the palette which will cause folds. you want a palette with a smooth and flat surface. You want something relatively think and very absorbent. in the UK I use Blitz. it’s a bit more a slightly more expensive paper towel. This prevents creasing and it soaks up water really well, keeping itself wet.

When it comes to highlighting it is probable that you need to mix several different paints together.Beyond this, many people have noted that the use of a wet palette allows them to obtain a much better consistency. I can attest that the second I started using a DIY wet palette, my painting improved immediately and markedly. I desperately want to remove some stars from this review for just how abysmally bad RGG’s guide on how to set up the palette is, but I don’t feel like I can. This is an absolute wonder of a product. Not only will is save you your hard-earned money by prolonging the life of your paints, as you won’t have to scoop out a new glob of paint every time you sit down to start a painting session, but the length of time by which it also prologues the lives of your prepared paints is staggering. As you might notice, the coating seems to start to wear off in some places because of the additional scrubbing, so I think I’ll replace my membrane after the third cleaning and usage. The paper is good and lets through just the right amount of water. The normal version gives enough retail space for most painters, but if you want more space a bigger one is also available. The biggest problem with DIY solutions was that you could always improve this tiny thing or that and I needed to make time for maintaining it.

If, however, you’re a more itinerant hobbyist – perhaps you go to a club, enjoy setting yourself up in your local hobby store or paint with a friend at their house – this may be a bit of an issue for you. If the palette is not watertight, you always run the risk of having your paints or any excess water in the Everlasting Wet Palette dripping out into the bottom of whatever bag you transport your gear in. In the Army painter Box, you also get… Another Box (Boxception?). This internal container houses your 2 Hydro Foams and your 50 Hydro Sheets along with a really useful infographic card and a thankyou. Ease of use is big for me. And this thing is easy to use! Now I HATE to paint without it. 2. The right amount of water is seeping trough Still quite large but we find it hard to recommend these over the much more cost-effective Redgrass Games Wet Palette -Lite where you can use both the palette and lid as a palette for a combined area of 10″ x 16″ at almost half the price. It does come with different accent colour options though. but as they put, one feature here is “Great for differentiating between projects”. But come on guys, who is buying 4 wet palettes? or even 2?The Army Painter Wet Palette is certainly a contender for one of the best wet-palettes in this growing market. It certainly does the job well at a very attractive price point. There are some quirks which we will detail below, but there are also some added benefits specific to this model. Especially for those of you already invested in the army painter brand. The sponge seems amazing. It holds water really good and light pressure will make the water seep through it. The whole thing is completely flat so you avoid those bugging creases. I know I’m not alone in this, I’ve actually seen people try to fix this problem by filling the base with resin and / or large sponges to close the gap between the base and the rim. Spending some money to make sure I have enough time is the right solution, and I was wasting time making something (badly) that I could buy (cheap, for good quality). Premium wet palettes
