    Hey folks! I hope you like this first video in the "utility" playlist! In this playlist I will be having some pure functional videos for some of the many issues we can run into as miniature painters or terrain crafters! Have an awesome day all of you wonderful people! Lots of love! 💙💛💙

    I just finished pouring paints from the citadel bottles into the droppers. I used a brush to collect the residues that, due to their shape, did not want to come out on their own. It took me about 5-6 hours to pour 35 paints. I am very pleased with the effect, especially since I use a wet palette. No more wasting paints that dry on the edges or containers that cannot be closed. Thank you so much for inspiring me to do this.

    So my dad recently found your channel and ever since I’ve just been loving your content and especially your accent! I’ve been making some of your stuff including the hill scatter terrain that I’ve nearly finished. Keep doing what your doing and stay safe!

    Hi, I am new to you and your videos and came across this just by searching "citadel paints" because I found some old ones and wondered if they're something I can rescue and what all they can be used for! Just want to say I loved the video and let you know how I got here because as another human who creates things I know it is nice to hear once in a while! :) Gave me a good laugh, thanks!

    Leif, my dude, you have no idea how well timed and need this video came out. From the bottom of my paint box thank you much!
  • I used to be a painter just like you, until I took an arrow to the knee!! Just found you and loved the whole video, from the great intro to the calm narration and purposeful filming. Well done
  • Great to see some ”behind the scenes” with paints. Good content as well as I can imagine that there might be one or two old bottles with paint in less than ideal state but still worth saving. Keep up your work helping friends out! True hero!

    Very informative vid! Leif, I enjoy your sense of humor, and enthusiasm. Great stuff!
  • @Ownuout
    Still a great intro that makes me laugh!

    Thank you for the video Leif. I have some bottles from when I first got into WH40K about 15 some odd years ago. I recently dusted them off and am looking into getting back into painting. This video answered my questions on what I should try to do to restore my paints, and how to care for them and any new paints in the future. Be well, friend!

    Great video bro... informative, genuinely funny, and last but not least, appreciated! Ive been painting minis since 1988, and I have a few old Tamiya paints I cant wait to (try) to rejuvenate.

    Wow I never knew I needed to see the trailer for the new miniature crime drama PAINT POLICE Taking your Paint's Leif in his Hands
  • @ronaldboal7500
    Great video. I loved the awesome intro. While I only have a couple Citadel paints, I still have a bunch of 25+ year old bottles of Tamiya paints that I almost threw out. Now I can possibly use them again. Thanks again and be well.
