PLD-01WT Super Corgi Butts-White (Paint Test Spray)

DSPIAE PLD-01WT Super Corgi Butts, a test piece for a trial spray, white version

An aid for painting, not a paint. The test piece, shaped like a corgi's rear end, serves to let you spray a shade for practice and see it in its final form before you touch the model. This is the white variant; the manufacturer makes the same aid in a black and in a clear version as well. A white base comes closest to the usual pale primer, so that on it a shade looks much as it will on a model primed in a pale color. It is precisely with pale and saturated shades that the difference between the look in the bottle and the look once dry tends to be greatest, and a white test piece shows it before you discover it on a finished model.

Use

• A trial spray of a shade before laying it on the model
• Judging a shade on a pale base, that is in conditions close to a pale primer
• Comparing several similar shades side by side in the same light
• Trying out varnish, the final degree of gloss and weathering for practice
• Starting a color library of your own that you come back to on later builds

Who the test piece is for

For modelers who work with a larger number of shades and want certainty before they start spraying a finished model. The white variant suits pale and saturated shades in particular, which on a dark base look other than they finally do on a real model. With all three versions you get the full picture of how a paint behaves on a dark, a pale and a transparent base.
