Games Workshop Citadel - Pot à Eau

Slapped some paint over it and it looks better. Surprisingly useful. Definitely prefer over my normal water cups and wont go back.

theres not much to say, it does a great job holding enough water in place so you can paint and not worry about it tipping over. its a solid cup and does what its meant to.

Ask yourself an honest question. Am I clumsy? I am a walking natural disaster. The flared bases of the cups keep my brush water nice and safe no matter how much I flail around.

My boyfriend is always painting miniatures for warhammer and would use just a small Tupperware bowl to clean his brushes, he goes thru brushes like crazy because he can never keep them clean enough. He loves this water pot, says the ridges inside are perfect for getting all the excess off, it’s easy to clean, and he’s not afraid it may tip over. He would have never bought this for himself since he thought what he was using was working fine, but now that he has this he said he wish he would have gotten one sooner

Most people will say that this product is dumb, even stupid, but this is so practical, the bottom and sides help cleaning the pain of the brush and the slides help keeping the brushes sharp, it has two small issues, first, its plastic so you obviously cannot see how dirty the water is at a glance, and its a bit small, it doesnt hold as much water as most cups of water or jars. So this solve so many inconveniences I didnt have with a few caveats. Really, a stupidly good product.

Great cup very stable and sturdy, helps keep brushes to a point by the use of slits inside the cup also a recess for laying brush down when not in use.

I just received this. Before, I just used a cheap plastic cup and didn’t think much of it, cleaning and throwing it away if it got too dirty on the bottom. Then I read the product description, features, and reviews of this Water Pot and realized that it might contain everything I need. The Pot has grooves on the bottom and sides to clean the brush. How neat! It has slots on the slide to sharpen the brush bristles into a point. Cool! These are neat features that an ordinary plastic cup doesn’t have and should help to make life easier and faster for the modeler. I always worried that my plastic cup left on my desk would tip over, even with a tray underneath. With this Water Pot, I’ve no worries whatsoever. Sure, it might be a tad expensive, but the design really does work. It’s about 3/4ths the size of a coffee mug so it’s large enough to clean brushes. I just place a piece of cardboard or notepad on top to prevent evaporation and have no fears that it would tip over if bumped.

4 diffrent types of gradients to help clean your brush on the inside of the cup.

Its a cup with different types of ridges inside to help you prep your brushes. If youre trying to figure out if you should buy it, ask yourself this: 1) Do you need something to help you get the paint off quicker for when youre trying to switch colors/clean up quickly? 2) Do you like to do a lot of fine brushwork and need the tips perfectly smoothed and pointy? If the answer to either of those is yes, then get this. The first is helped by grooves on the side and bottom, the second is helped by little channels to drag the smaller brushes through on the back. Otherwise, just get yourself a cheap mug or glue some coins to the bottom of a styrofoam cup to weight it down and use that. For the record, I answer yes to #2 and find this helps a fair amount.

This thing is great. You might be thinking Why should I bother paying $10 for something I can use an old mug for? It has a lot of really useful features. The ridges on the side and the bottom are terrific for keeping brushes clean, much better than just a strong swirl used to get me. The grooves on the side re-sharpen your brush. Its not magic: if you have an old crappy brush, its not going to suddenly spring back to new, but a quick swipe keeps a brush with a fine point from spreading out over a painting session. Lastly, the wide base keeps it from falling over easily. No one wants mixed paint stains all over their table.
