G'day from Aotearoa.

Could all you guys that are currently completing your RL's and Showmans give me an idea of the approximate volume of paint that you have consumed in your respective builds? As I will have too import my Craftmaster paints I dont want to be having to make muliple shipments for cost reasons. Sad
