Who this list is for
This checklist is for hobbyists heading to a club meet, painting workshop, or any off-site miniature painting session. It’s built for people who paint miniatures and want to avoid forgetting key tools or supplies when traveling to a session outside their usual workspace.
How to use this list
Start by gathering your miniatures, paints, and brushes first—these are the core of your session. Lay out your palette, water pot, and a desk mat to protect shared tables. Pack paper towels and brush cleaner for cleanup and brush care. If you rely on a magnifier or portable light, make sure they’re charged or have fresh batteries. Use a protective transport box to keep everything safe in transit. Check off each item as you pack it, so nothing gets left behind.
Common mistakes
People often forget small but essential items like a water pot or paper towels, which are hard to improvise on-site. Don’t skip the desk mat—paint can stain tables quickly. Overpacking is another issue; only bring what you’ll use, not your entire paint collection. If you use a magnifier or portable light, test them before packing. Avoid bringing open containers of water or loose items that could spill or get lost in transit.
What is on this list
This checklist includes miniatures, brushes, paints, palette, water pot, desk mat, paper towel, brush cleaner, magnifier if used, portable light if needed, and a protective transport box. Cross off what you already have packed or stored in your kit. Only pack what you’ll use for this session to keep your load manageable.
Before you go
Double-check that all containers are closed tight and nothing is leaking. Make sure your transport box is secure and fits everything safely. Confirm you have enough brushes and paints for your planned work. If you’re sharing a ride, keep your kit compact. Arrive a few minutes early to set up your space and settle in before painting begins.
