cheat and reusable paint palettes

I find these days that I get a lot of junk mail in the form of single cards of cardboard with a plastic coating, that makes a good pallete for dry brushing and for CA glues.  Also, I get flooded with credit card adds that include a mock credit card.  These are great as pallettes too.

I do, however, hoard bottle caps.  They are great for holding a small amount of paint when hand brushing or small amounts of CA.  I also hoard wine foil and those little coffee creamer cups.  The creamer cups are great for mixing up paints for the airbrush.

Modelers:  We recycle useless crap. 

All of the above, plus:

plastic take-away containers,

35mm film containers & lids,

& for small amounts I cover a 6-dimple plastic paint pallette with alu foil & bin it when done.
