The only concern is whether I need another as I replace my remaining Citadel colours with Vallejo ones I might run out of holes... (since taking the photo I found found another half dozen pots!)

A Well Stacked Rack...
Following on from my post last year about buying a painting rack from Progressive Engineering Solutions I have now stuck it together and loaded it with paint pots (I didn't know I had so many!)

I need to know where you got it, how much you paid for it and how soon I can get my hands on one!

DeleteOoo...that's very handy!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! They do one for Humbrol tinlets! Order sent! Thanks for this! More space on the workbench! You should get commission!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's nice. The large vertical rack is calling me. I can hear it.
ReplyDeleteI've got one of those two and, having filled it, need another! If you ask they can do one level for Vallejo and another for a different make which I may be considering...
ReplyDeleteThere are cheaper alternatives bit none are quite so bespoke and nice!
If you are handy with wood, and a drill press... You could make your own, custom fit model for little cash, and not that much time. If you wanted to make a few extra sets for sale on e-Bay, or other market place: stack the pieces in layers, and drill each hole, on each piece, at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIf you make your own, you can cut the holes to match whatever paint bottle you use: craft paints, Vallejo, whatever -- they're not all the same diameter, or height for bottles/tins, as shown in the photo, above.
If you make them out of MDF (can be custom painted to whatever you want), the cost is minimal; if you want fancy, there are plenty of different types of thin plywood sheets available at your local DIY stores, in sizes smaller than 4' x 4'. Get some wooden dowels to space the layer apart, some wood glue, and voila! Cheers!
"If you are handy with wood, and a drill press..." I can honestly say I am not and my wife will confirm that I can't saw a straight line no matter how well marked a piece of wood! (really sad when I did the family tree and everyone from my father back to 1720 was either a carpenter or shipwright!!)
