    Mini electric paint mixers, are they any good?

    Have already bought one of these, but not used it yet...
    Paint Mixer TM09920 Trumpeter Scale Model Shop UK, 5* Customer Service, Fast Delivery, Reward points on every order

    Are they any good? I know, I probably should have asked before I bought one, but you know, late nights, a couple of beers and the t'internet, and stuff turns up on your doorstep!

      I never took to them. You can pick up cheaper coffee frothers that do the same job with some modification to the end.
      On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
      Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
      Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

          I made a wire mixer. Twisted some wire and left a small loop at the end. I twiddle the improvised wire thingy in the paint to mix the paint/thinner medium and jobs a good un!! Yeah ok - cheapskate!!!!
