Modelrob That was a great ideal on how to make a paint rack. I would never have thought about using that material. This is the one I made out of some left over pine I had then I mounted it to the beast, which is what my wife calls my modeling desk
The rack looks good and it looks like you could easily add on. As of right now I do not have a permanent modeling area, so I am relying on a movable desk-top rack. I may make another rack that will allow more Tamiya paints, I just need to dig up some more discarded shipping boxes.
GrandpaStockwell Question: I am working on a Revell 1/720 USS Enterprise carrier. What would anyone reccomend to get the planes adhered to the flight desk without making a mess on the paint or decals?

Cdn Colin I lucked out and found this at the Re-Store for $5. I went back and bought the second one and it is now mounted on top. Between the two, I've got storage for more than enough paint!

Thats a nice buy and very useful. Resale shops are always great for finding useful items on the cheap, garage sales also.
I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.
Have fun.
Lokks great.
I need some paint help... I have a large RC Sea Fury that I'm painting with Tamiya
paints> I'm using AS-6 USAAF olive drab,its a spray. I cant find it in a bottle.
I've got a lot of money in this plane. Any help would be great.
tempestjohnny Very ingenious. I posted this in the paint section. I just built this from $10 worth of scrap lumber from Home Depot and some pieces of pegboard I had.

Yes, I seen this at another thread, it's very nice work. Mine is nothing fancy, just snipped cardbaord. It's always nice when you can put something functional together for nothing.
Ghostrider114I've got a ton of paints. I always figured that something like the display racks they put the paint jars on in the hobby shop would be ideal, but that looks like it works.
i was trying to hunt down some display racks. The only thing I found so far are fully stocked paint racks at a HEFTY price. I keep looking on eBay and Craigs List to see what pops up. I actually found some good local deals on tools at Craigs List. I only use that site for pick-up, I would never have anything shipped through that market. I definetly do not need a large floor rack, but maybe a decent sized table top display would be good.
Nice job! And like you said, free! I like it...
Hey, very crafty and creative, nicely made. Just like the old TV show says, "The Price Is Right." Looks right at home on your bench.

Mopar Madness Ok, now that's a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mopar, thanks for taking a look. I was bowsing ebay for something similar and what I found was pictured below at 20.00 with shipping. So, I figured what the hay, I could make a better one free.

Thanks Hunter. It was the prefect price: FREE!
Hey SC,
That looks great. Nice job of cutting out the jar ports and the platform. Very fancy friend.

I was browsing ebay for some desk-top paint racks and became a bit frustrated with the prices of the small units, and the material they where made from (cheap pressed board). I decided I could make a cheap paint storage rack for basically nothing. I just started snipping away at some old shipping boxes (cardboard), broke out the yellow glue and I was on my way. I know it's nothing fancy, I seen some of the members here do some very nice work on wooden wall units, but my goal was cheap as in FREE. :-) It is very basic but fuctional and I saved myself 30.00 to 35.00 USD.
My unit is not complete, I still need to add the brush rack in back and I may apply contact paper as long as my wife has some stored away, but it's up and fuctional as is.
Step #1
I loaded up some paints to get a look.Step 2, I added the back rack.I made sure I could hold a varity of paint bottles in the unit. I know for sure Vallejo, MM, Gunze, and Badger will all seat very nicley.
And tucked away on the shelf.
