Accessing your paints - a stand question

[richrockster]

Since I'm using mostly Vallejo, I'm in the market for some kind of stand to keep them tidy, organised suspicious... When I had about 10 colours, it was fine, I could line em up, but now it's approaching 50-60, plus inks, medium, varnish, etc...

I thought about making one, but wondered what people use/recommend so I can see the colour of the paint, and have them easily to hand without searching through most of them just to find that particular shade of green...

about half way down you'll see the paint racks I made, The reason I prefer them is that they have a minimal footprint and don't use up valuable desk space

Awesome! Is that Vallejo pots on the left? I wonder if 32mm waste pipe will do...

(goes to find tape measure - hard to do as I don't game any more....)

yeah, 32 will do for Vallejo or any similar type pot, but if you want to put GW pots in it you'll need the bigger pipe

get the "weld" together stuff, it's a bit dearer but it makes life so much easier when it comes to assembling them.
The good thing is you can make them as tall or wide as you like. One big one or several small ones it's up to you
Also if you stagger them you get more surfaces touching
