Building a base or a diorama, most of the time your hand is not on a brush but on spreading material. A spatula does what a brush never will: lift paste out of the pot, lay it in an even coat and level the surface flat, or to whatever slope you need. This set carries several blade shapes – flat ones for open ground, narrow ones for corners, rounded ones for shaping hills and banks. It serves equally well for sculpting work in putty and for dosing pigments, which a spatula lifts out of the jar without covering you in them.

Frequently asked questions
How are the spatulas cleaned?
While the paste is wet, water and a cloth are enough. If it dries, let the blade soak for a while – acrylic pastes soften and then scrape off with a fingernail or a second spatula. Epoxy putties are better wiped off immediately; once cured they are hard to get off steel.
Does a steel blade tear wet paste?
Not if you wet it. Dry steel bites into acrylic paste and drags it along; dip the blade in water before each pass and the surface stays smooth.
What scale does the set suit?
All of them. On 25–40 mm bases the narrow blades see most use, on large dioramas and 1:35 the flat ones. That is why both are in the set.
