For Yorkshire folk everywhere and lesser mortals who fancy saving stuff to put to good use.

Well I'll start this topic off purely from a painting perspective.

Obviously Jam and pickle jars are really good storage containers on there own.It goes without saying really.

Nutella, horrible stuff but the smallest jar is Glass .£1.28 is worth it just for the jar and lid.Bin the evil nutty/chocolate concoction. Excellent place to wash you brushes

Yoghurt pots .Excellent for mixing paint prior to a wash or spray.Be wary of the thinner softer ones (Aero/mouse etc) the thinners will eat them first.

Kiev trays Those deep plastic.trays useful for dipping projects in ,like say a wagon that you painted and looks more like a Panzer MKIV. Fill it full of brake DOT4 brake fluid and renew that bauxite look.

Cooked Ham platters.the kind that processed ham come on/in. Nice,hard flat plastic.These make excellent mixing pallets for dry brushing and when paint and powder have to be mixed.

Philadelphia tubs, horrible, Is it really cheese? shouldn't be allowed in Yorkshire...A shallow dish excellent for soaking transfers, airbrushes etc..

Collecting all these extra modelmaking elements can only be a good thing.But remember to be wary of going too far(.http://en.wikipedia....i/Edmund_Trebus)

Any more suggestions add them below and you can all be Honourary & Thrifty Yorkshire folk. (Results may vary,Yorkshire effects are temporary and will wear off in time)
