Pipettes for modelling are practical tools used to measure and transfer small amounts of liquid such as paint, washes or hobby mediums. They are commonly used in miniature painting, airbrush work and modelling projects where precise measurements are important. In this category at Scenery Workshop you will find various pipettes suitable for mixing and dosing hobby paints and liquids.

What are pipettes?

Pipettes are small tools designed to draw up and dispense liquids accurately. They are often used to transfer small amounts of paint or medium between containers.

In modelling, pipettes are commonly used for mixing paint, thinning airbrush paints and measuring washes or mediums. This allows hobbyists to control paint mixtures more precisely.

At Scenery Workshop many miniature painters use pipettes to mix paint in a controlled way and reduce paint waste.

Why hobbyists use pipettes

Pipettes make it easier to measure and control liquids during hobby projects.

• Accurate dosing of paints and mediums
• Ideal for airbrush paint mixing
• Useful for washes and inks
• Helps reduce paint waste
• Suitable for miniature painting and modelling

Many hobbyists use pipettes when thinning paints or measuring specific mixing ratios.

How to use pipettes for miniatures or scale models

A pipette is used by squeezing the top to push air out of the tube. When the tip is placed in a liquid and the pressure is released, the liquid is drawn into the pipette.

The liquid can then be dispensed onto a palette, into a paint pot or directly into an airbrush cup. This makes pipettes very useful for mixing paints and mediums accurately.

What to consider when choosing pipettes

When choosing pipettes for modelling, several factors are important.

• Volume – suitable for small liquid amounts
• Flexible material – easier control when dispensing
• Compatible with acrylic paints and mediums
• Suitable for airbrush mixing

Many hobbyists keep several pipettes to avoid mixing different liquids. At Scenery Workshop you can find different pipettes for modelling ideal for miniature painting and airbrush work.
