New gw paints have new pots!

With a new hinge system that holds the lid open! Although they're not going on sale for another fortnight, so we'll see then if that prevents the usual spillage issues... Also, the lids on the shades and glazes can be a bit of a bugger to open, but that could just be me lacking manual dexterity...

[update] not all the paints will have the new pots, bases (what used to be foundation) and layers (what used to be ... well, paint) will still have the old style pot 'as you shouldn't need to leave them open'...

Other points of interest: the new 'base' paints are thinner than the old foundation paints, which should mean they last a bit longer before turning into a gloopy unuseable mess, and the new 'drybrush' paints aren't really paint at all, more like a mousse, which will take some getting used to...
