Miniature Paint Mix & Volume Calculator

免费战锤/D&D微缩模型颜料混合器。输入自定义比例和军团规模,输出所需总滴数和打印配方卡。

何时使用

Use before mixing a custom shade for a project so you don't run out halfway through (or dry out unused paint by mixing too much).

与其他指标对比

Tutorials often give ratios without volumes. This tool turns "3:1 mix" into actual drop counts for your army size.

Enter your values below. Calculations run locally as you type.

工作原理

Drops-per-model is derived from miniature scale (infantry / monster / terrain) and coverage style (basecoat / layer / drybrush).

Your recipe ratio (e.g., 3 drops A : 1 drop B : 2 water) is scaled to the total drops needed for the whole army.

One drop ≈ 0.05 ml from a standard hobby dropper.

常见问题

How big is a "drop"?

Roughly 0.05 ml from a standard hobby paint dropper. The total estimate is conservative.

What size is a "model"?

Standard 28mm infantry. Larger models (vehicles, monsters) and terrain pieces are scaled with multipliers.

Why mix a full batch instead of one model at a time?

Mixing per model makes it nearly impossible to reproduce the exact same shade twice, causing visible color drift across a unit. Batching the whole army from one ratio keeps every miniature consistent.

How does water in the ratio affect coverage?

Thinning with water increases volume and smooths brush strokes but reduces opacity, so heavily watered mixes need more coats. Keep the same water ratio across the batch so coverage stays even from the first model to the last.

示例

输入

20 infantry models, basecoat, 3:1:2 ratio.

输出

~16 total drops needed.

20 × 0.8 drops/model = 16 total. With a 3:1:2 mix, that's 8 drops of color A, 3 of color B, 5 of water/thinner — round up for waste.

常见陷阱

  • Drop volume varies by dropper bottle. ~0.05 ml is a planning average.
  • Doesn't account for thinning losses or wet palette evaporation.
  • Drybrush estimate is very conservative — you may use even less.
