When containers go bad

I was on www.wargamerau.com browsing the buy and sell as I still do and someone was seeking a bottle of the old GW Putrid Green. I wnet trawling through my collection of GW paints and sure enough there’s an almost full bottle sitting there. I started to type up a message to say I had one available and I thought I’d just check to make sure the paint was still okay (the price sticker on the bottle read 02/96 and cost NZD$2.95 so it was a fairly old bottle. Well after trying to prise off the lid, all that happened was the white plastic shattered and crumbled completely.  The paint itself is perfectly okay, but this has prompted me to look at investing in some replacement bottles, probably Derivans and Vallejos, for the vbulk of my older GW bottles, particular the masses of Bad Moon Yellow and Blood Red i have accumulated.

It’s pertinent because I think I’ll be using my Black Reach orks to practise using yellows and reds until I truly feel comfortable.  Now onto photographing my painting set up as promised.
