Finished a painting session, & cleaned-up - missed a bit/part

Post by Jigsaw333 »

Hi All,
Ever had a painting session and found that you've cleaned the airbrush and NOT painted a part or two...?
Done this many a time and whilst a colour is in the cup - use it, if you can.
The images show how my OCD works. This is all done in GoogleSheets - So it's FREE
I created a complete listing of ALL Tamiya paints (have a few others but mainly Tamiya, so are my kits)
It has my stash and a wish list.
This version includes data that is kit related. It's for the new Tamiya SUZUKI GSX-RR '20 Bike kit
You'll see at the top of the spreadsheet - this is a full paint listing (obviously goes off the page right- but not shown)
Shows my stash of paints, my wish list and what paints are required for this kit. And an area for mixed colours required (eg X-11:1+XF-56:2)
Next, it gives a listing of paints required and a listing of paints NOT in my stash.
The final part is a complete parts listing for the kit, and the paints that are relative to each part.
On the right of that is a query box where you can put in a paint colour and it will tell you all of the parts that require that colour.
I know it's overkill but it stops me from re-filling the airbrush after I've cleaned it.!
It's also good to get to know what all the parts are. Now it's set up only takes a few hours to complete for a new kit.
You can of course use this for Planes, Trains, Automobiles, Armour..... etc.
Just thought I'd share a part of my build process with you all.
Happy modelling.
Simon.
