Vallejo model colour storage

[Tim Marlow]

Well, I have ordered the Hobbyzone large rack from the scale models shop, and thrown in a couple of bike kits because I liked the SR 400 build shown on here...
Cheers all
Very useful info..

another way is to do it vertical,if you don,t like a stepped rack,that takes up space,on the bench,
and have it ,on a 5mm or 10mm angle leaning back,as a bottle is about ,23mm and a hole saw is 25mm.,
gives that little bit of play,so from front,bit to second ,can be on a fall,then back bit stops them falling out,
just ab idea for you,:smiling:

Cheers

When I was at art school I learned that the one thing you didn't do was look after your paints - you're supposed to be too busy creating (plus it just ain't cool). Unfortunately, I've also always been a messy worker.

Looks good , like the way you have sorted them :thumb2:
Peter, Jim will never let you join his club ! I always work and have done in complete mess, now very much to Christine's annoyance. Has said her next husband will be tidy ! 47 years next week ! :flushed:

that's a good idea ,Steve,but costing id that cheaper than a wooden mode one,as once some think has hobby/model making it
gets a plus pries up,lol,

was told the very same thing,Peter,but even still I,do find that by having your paints seen and able to find what you
won,t much faster and easier,to use,the rest of the table has to be in a mess,so you won,t to sit down and do some think,

Peter, I’ve never met an artist that didn’t treat their kit like you do. Believe it or not, some pro photographers do the same with their very expensive kit, and as for guitarists, just look at Rory Gallagher’s strat...nuf said...
John, I get the same, and I’m relatively titdy these days....
Steve, I looked at them, but couldn’t work out if they were wide enough for the bottles....good quality they are and relatively cheap as well.
Monica, agree about the mess, a blank space is harder to fill...
