DropTop by DrTabletop:
Like most ideas, this one started over some beers and tacos on a Tuesday. After some great conversation, we began to exchange some “crazy” ideas we had. The one that stopped us all in our tracks was the DropTop. We loved our hobbies and primarily tabletop gaming. As a professional artist, my favorite part was painting minis. I enjoyed the scenes and imagination you could explore as well as the technical skill involved in painting miniatures. When I first began my journey into painting these tiny 3D coloring books, I spent a lot of time and money trying out every brand of paint.
I found that certain brands excelled in different tones, but one was consistent throughout. Citadel© model paints were my favorite across the board. (With the White requiring a little work). I loved the vibrant colors and amazing metallics, and for those people following the paint system for their minis, they are fantastic. As I began to fall in love with the paints, I hit a crossroads. For as much as I loved the colors, the pots they lived in were challenging.
From the messy hands to the dreaded “shade spill,” I went on a hunt for an answer. Hours of googling and all I found was time consuming and wasteful solutions. After several prototypes and many ideas, the DropTop finally came to life, and what a surprise it was. Not only did it solve the main challenges of working with the pots and saving your paint, but it also led to all-new ways to use the paints. From directly applying shades to terrain and bases to using the colors to go straight into the airbrush, an elevated way to enjoy our hobby was born.
We have invested our time and money to bring to life a polished working prototype. This work allows us to leap over the hurdle of you investing in an idea, to taking part in a tangible live product we can deliver to you and the world.
This is one of the most innovative ideas that the hobby has seen in a while. Don’t waste your time switching all your paints dropper bottles. Just add this lid and a mixing ball and hobby like a pro.
