Nemu post - what's in my bag

Related to the extremely cute web comic nemu*nemu. The artist is asking for people to share what they have in their art bag.

Well, hey, I have one of those!



Okay, so I'm stretching the definition of "bag" a little. Our local game shop does build'n'paint stuff on Sundays, along with miniature wargaming, so sometimes I go down there to get some painting done. I got tired of throwing stuff in a box top and then realizing that half the paints I wanted were still at home, though, so I thought "hey, why not just pack them all?"



Contained within:

  • Plenty of Citadel paints (you can tell the newer ones with the see-through caps)
  • Plenty of Reaper paints (very different consistency, also a lot of unusual metallic colors, and an absolutely dynamite white)
  • superglue and plastic glue
  • pieces of slate for bases (sometimes supplemented by sand and tufts of Silflor buffalo grass if I'm basing at the moment)
  • xacto knife
  • plastic nippers
  • two file sets
  • brass rod for pinning joints I don't trust to stay glued
  • spare drill bits matching the brass rod (snapped two in one day once)
  • PVA white glue for gluing sand on bases
  • some of my odder brushes (the everyday ones are drying at the moment)
  • a bit of foam I can use to make patchy paint jobs (used this on the kans I posted)

Not exactly the kind of art supply that the artist had in mind, but eh, illustration is not my forte. (Truth be told, I'm not much better at painting, but it's still fun!)

1 Wow, that's a great tip for a comic.

2 Third book down from the top: The Illustrated Guide to Aircraft Carriers of the World.   Nice basic research book, that.  Got my copy at B&N for $4.99 half-a-dozen years ago, maybe.

Pete, out of respect for our host here, I deleted what I wrote to you in regards to your comment.

3 I took it as genuine, not sarcastic.

And yeah, I picked it up at a Half Price Books sometime. Was a fun read.

4 *nod*  I think two or three Pond posts have gotten their start from that book.  Quite useful, that.
