How To Make A DIY Wet Palette

by

A wet palette is a game-changing tool for miniature painting, especially when working with acrylics. It’s designed to keep your paints moist and workable for extended periods—hours, days, or even weeks—by using a moisture-retaining system that typically includes:

  • A sealed container
  • A layer of absorbent sponge
  • A sheet of semi-permeable paper on top

This setup allows water from the sponge to slowly pass through the paper, keeping the paint hydrated without diluting it too much. That means smoother blending, less paint waste, and more time to finesse your colors and details.

Here are some good instructions for making a wet palette.

Pot That Fellow, Somebody Colonial Rules

by

Pot that Fellow, Somebody is a set of free miniatures rules for the colonial era. Author RP Bergman writes:

These rules are intended to fight Colonial quasi-skirmish level games with multiple players and 2-3 units per players. Colonial players includes Europeans, Americans, and any other modern power with advanced military technology. Native players include includes Zulus, Dervishes, Pathans, etc. Units are rated according to Morale Quality, Melee Skill, and Firearms Skill. The Morale of units degrades as they lose leaders, take casualties, suffer from the heat, or fail to take action during the battle. Eventually, even the best unit may “run away” to live, fight (and die) another day. Units take a variable number of actions each turn, with the better quality troops having a higher chance of taking more actions.
