Why is it always the black ink you end up spilling???

[el Superbeasto]

For some reason, I can't seem to knock over my white Vallejo drop bottles. Oh no! It HAS to be the Coat d'Arms big-freakin'-hole-so-that-it-all-spills-out-bottle with the thin feckin' black ink.

Is there a natural law at work here that I don't know about?!?
(Nothing much to say about it myself – just had to get it out of my system. Sorry about this pointless thread.)

It's not just you, my painting station is covered with reikland fleshshade and my three die block shirt has massive splodges of green ink!

Cheers, Art. Others' misery is always a good comfort.

There’s these baby cups that stand up by themselves, if you knock them over. (Don't know the English word for them.) I’d pay good money for a similar type ink bottle!

What you are experiencing is a corollary to the buttered toast law: The probability that a piece of toast will fall buttered/jam side down is directly proportional to the average of the amount of butter/jam on the toast and the cost of any existing carpet!

I don't spill paint, per se, but it seems my desk and everything in a 5cm radius of the corner I paint on is speckled with white primer....

We know it is really green Zlurpee.

And cats always land on thier feet.....So what happens if you butter a cat then drop it out of a window?

Penwaagh managed to barrel roll a full pot of wash, whilst sitting painting on my sofa....not a spot spilled...extraordinary!

*We down did the Pulp Fiction pat down after ??? should have been shot by the Hand Cannon...same kind of incredulity!*

Rubbing alcohol. Try first in a hidden place, if the item is not attacked by it, apply to the paint splotch and rub with kitchen paper. Some inks are also non water proof, so all they need is more water.

I have only ever ruined one item of clothing by getting paint on it while painting. It was a pair of jeans and the culprit was, you guessed it, a bottle of black ink. The only reason I spilled it in the first place was that it was one of the old GW hexagonal bottles. They keep the paint/ink from drying out, but sometimes require a bit too much force to open. When that goes wrong it can go really wrong.

I am quite careful with paint these days

Back back back in time when I was first into GW (Rogue Trader era) when I was a teenager and living with my parents. My folks and siblings go to town leaving me and the family dog to our own devices. I wasted no time getting my paints out and setting up on the living room floor. Fast forward an hour or so the doorbell rings I go to answer it, on coming back I find to my horror that our dog has knocked over the pot of 'Skull White' leaving a large pool of it on our brown carpet. I shout at the dog who being a little slow on the uptake but eager to please sits, right in the spilt paint then to add insult to injury begins to wag his tail spraying white paint even further. Dragging dog by the collar I placed him in the garden before setting about trying to clean the carpet (ok ok I made the mess four time the original size). Then outside with a hosepipe to try and clean the dog (about as successful as the capet). Now you may think this would be the end of my tale of woe but it's about to get worse, at the time I smoked (something that has continued off and on for years - stopped for 3 years now) and feeling stressed decided to have one. Lit up and dragged hard throwing the dead match in the kitchen bin, stood outside and calmed down. Having finished and feeling a little less stressed walked back into the house to find the kitchen bin doing it's best to imitate the 'Towering Inferno' unbeknownst to me my dad had been touching up the gloss on some skirting boards and put his turps covered cleaning rags in the bin. I picked up the flaming bin and carried it out into the garden, quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher from the kitchen and put out the bin. When my folks got home I got told off for painting the carpet, painting the dog, setting fire to the bin, carrying the flaming bin outside and using the fire extinguisher after carrying the bin outside 'when a bucket of water would have done'

I can laugh now.

Who said that painting miniatures is a relaxing hobby?

My brother used to make model boats. He once decided to mold some anchor weights from lead, or some such thing I don't know I was only six, poured the lead in the mold,which being made of tinfoil disintegrated and he burnt a hole clean through the dining room table.
