Help needed for vallejo colours revolving stand

[Tony Manero]

once on a site i saw a tutorial to build homemade a revolving stand for vallejo colours... anyone ever heard of that? ???

It can\'t be that hard to design one.
All you\'d reaaly need to construct one is a Drill and a couple of Forstner bits and some tubing, MDF.
(and of course for the Brits, the elastic from Valerie Singleton\'s Knickers )

i got lazy and bought one from here.

realy simple but bloody good.

After you\'ve bought forstner bits, and the tools needed which aren\'t very cheap, and everything else you need, it\'d be cheaper to buy one of the paintier ones I reckon ??

[Tony Manero]

just made the first 2 dishes, waiting for paint drying on other 2

later i\'ll close the holes with brass caps

the total storage capacity is 48 Vallejo colours and 32 gw colours (on the inner space) or 88 Vallejo colours

thats looking good Tony, I thought of making one but I don\'t like the bench space they take up so I made these

they don\'t take up space on the bench, and enough of the bottle projects to see what color it is

 

[james sequeira]

mick how have you made the vallejo holders as they are really effective

 

[Tony Manero]

ehehe not so much space here to make holders like yours

 

[RedSevenBlue]

Can\'t wait to see them tony! Now I want a GW revolving stand!

 

[james sequeira]

it\'s made from 38mm waste pipe cut at 30 degrees both ends. for GW & the VMC Alcohol Metallic pots I used the 44mm waste

That\'s a nice painting area Mick... I like the idea with the paint storage.... I may have to borrow it
