BADGER Airbrush Paint Mixer BA121

I've been looking for one of these for ages - something that will mix/ stir up without causing bubbles as a whisk would. You can buy frappuchino machines that do the same thing and they cost quite a bit more. This is compact, battery operated and brilliant for mixing. I use it when stirring micas in water or oil in plastic cups and also for cosmetic making. Very good gizmo.

Does a good job.

eModels are a great firm and always supply items on time and well packaged. The paint mixer is ok and does the job well especially acrylics but on humbrol tins of older paint mixing takes a bit longer but still much better using a cocktail stick. As has been mentioned on a previous post fixing the stirring head on the shaft is a bit of a bind. Overall build is a bit basic but it certainly gets the job done.

I've had this a couple of months and wonder why I didn't buy one sooner really. Much easier and more thorough than a manual stirrer, especially if thinning paint for air brushing or reviving those old paints that have sat for a long time and settled. Mine although ordered from Amazon UK came via the US so I had to wait a short while but it was significantly cheaper than the other UK sellers.

Great item for stirring miniture paint pots and primers. Not sure why they are so expensive for what they are.

Made stirring my model paints so much easier...wish I'd got it years ago. Easy to clean...put it in a little pot of cleaner, give it a wizz, clean the head, job done.

Great tool I don't know how I managed without it.

Perfect tool for mixing medium into larger amounts of heavy body acrylic paint to thin it down Doesn’t create too many bubbles. I say it being used in video by fluid artist.

A great little mixer with a small mixing paddle that will fit through the neck of small paint bottles. The mixing paddle quickly mixes up settled and separated paints and reblends paint that has gone lumpy, A great mixer that does a great job.

Er ontbreekt een onderdeel aan deze mixer, de garde. Wel retour gestuurd maar nog niets van gehoord. Hoop dat het goed gaat komen.

This is incredible, it mixes up 20 year old testors paints like a champ! And best of all, no more stupid shaking jars which not only fails to mix heavy pigment clumps stuck to the bottom of the jar, but also gets paint stuck on the bottom of the lid, gluing the lid shut for next time, and causing dried paint to fall back into the jar potentially clogging your airbrush next time. This thing is just great and works perfectly. It really packs a punch! It's so satisfying, I get a smile every time I use it because I know its just obliterating all the clumps of paint pigment at the bottom of the jar! I was also impressed how well balanced it spins, considering the length of the snout and the way the shaft just press fits directly to the motor shaft. It actually balances out with motor RPM. (Although I'm sure if it got bent, it would be violently unbalanced.) Best of all, there's no splashing (as long as you follow the directions and be careful to never spin it when not submerged! I managed to splatter paint all over my workspace once when I accidentally hit the trigger setting it down after I had just mixed a jar of paint and needed 2 hands to screw the lid on... When that happens it splatters paint in 360 degrees and further than you want!) The only downsides are: 1. Its kind of long and cumbersome to store when not in use, but the shaft used a metal on metal friction press fit, so I don't feel comfortable removing and reinstalling the shaft each time I use it as I fear it would become looser over time. It doesn't fit back in the box when assembled, and setting it down is somewhat liable to depress the trigger. Unless you want to pop the batteries in and out after every use. All in all not a big deal. 2. Once it has wet paint on it, as soon as you remove it from the jar, it's a hair trigger handheld paint splatter disaster waiting to happen.. 3. The head of the tool (the metal 6 point star that actually does the mixing) is kind of a weird shaped metal piece stamped/clamped onto the end of the shaft, with a few little crevices for paint to hide in after mixing. This makes it hard to ever be certain you've gotten 100% of the paint cleaned off so you don't contaminate the next jar. What I do after use is to VERY CAREFULLY (cautious to not trigger it!) move it to point down inside a wastebasket with a disposable plastic bag lining, and spin it, which will launch virtually all the paint onto the walls of your wastebasket. Then stick it into a jar of thinner and spin it to clean the rest, finished with a final wipe on white paper towel to visually verify no paint remains. Excellent value. Highly recommended to any modeler, you will shake your head at the idea of shaking jars once you use this.

Parfait pour un bon mélange des peintures à maquette. Je recommande

I got into mini painting and got a bit too ambitious and picked this up — never used it. I got a Nespresso and a milk frother but its not a wand frother and makes the peaks too stiff. But if you just heat the milk in it and then use this to stir it its a perfect consistency for flat whites.
