Frequently asked questions

Why log your miniature paint recipes?
Anyone who paints miniatures — whether for tabletop wargames, role-playing games or display — quickly hits a problem: you finish a model with a brilliant colour scheme, then come back weeks later to paint the rest of the unit or army and can't remember exactly which paints and steps you used. A painting log solves this by recording your 'colour recipes' (the base, layer and highlight paints for each part of the model) and the techniques you used (washes, drybrushing, basing), so you can match models consistently across a whole project. It's invaluable for armies and collections that need to look cohesive, saves you re-experimenting every time, and helps you remember combinations you loved. It also doubles as a record of your progress as a painter, and a handy list of which paints to restock. Whether you're a casual hobbyist or a dedicated painter with a big backlog (the famous 'pile of shame'!), it keeps your work consistent and your paints organised.
