Description
The bucket has a capacity of 10ml and measures 2x3cm
The spatula/stirrer is 53mm long.
Only 2g bucket/0.85g spatula
I'm slowly getting into the world of scale modeling, but I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I bought some cheap paints and a 15$ airbrush from Temu. (no need to tell me it's crap—I'm well aware of that).
The main problem I had was with mixing the paints. Too much paint was left on the walls of the vodka shot glass I was using . I also tried using a printed epoxy glue mixing tray with a spatula, but that presented its own mixing challenges—the tray was too shallow, making it quite difficult.
Since I couldn't find a satisfying model, I decided to create my own.
The idea for the bucket's shape was inspired by the "fill" icon found in various graphics programs, including MS Paint.
Designing the stirrer/spatula took me longer. I had to find a balance between low material usage and sufficient rigidity so the stirrer wouldn't be flimsy. I also added holes to help with mixing. The stirrer also functions as a spatula, so it can be used for mixing thicker substances (like the aforementioned two-part epoxy glue).
