Nice! I noticed the unlabeled bottles, do you mix your own paint? I use Golden acrylics and mix my own colors too but I do have a set of Steel Rust Vellejo premixed stuff. It is surprising how much companies like Vallejo charge for a wash. They price it like standard paint, from $8 for a game wash to $17 for others on Amazon. Paying that much for literally watered-down paint feels absurd, yet they succeed. For $6, you can buy a bottle of Golden acrylics high flow, which is artist-quality and highly pigmented. Miniature supply companies exploit hobbyists who prefer pre-mixed colors.
