Hey Everyone.
In this topic I will try to add some interesting solutions to help us work on the models - please join in and show their ideas and patents for the public good.
Thank You

cheap paint tanks:

for mixing paints for airbrush - plastic glasses - for 40 each pay less than 1 euro

small quantities of the brush I use packs of pills, vitamins or candy in the form as in the picture - cost = 0

Yeah I've seen the pill packet trick before from mig Jimenez. It's a great idea.

I use similar cups but I buy them from ebay

Another toolbox
Tools for tools that are always "at hand". Needed: tubes after vitamins plussssszzzzzzz , something to cover by if you want, wire and triangular slat. To reduce the depth of the container, you can use the remaining cap or ... whatever.
Everything shown in the pictures, the size depends on you.
Doing this took me 20 minutes and the effect of even passable
Have nice fun
Greg

Very cool nice idea, keep them coming

Nice one Greg, good use of empty "vitamin" boxes. I'm using old plastic Ikea cups for that, but they're too big to fix them to anything and yet too light to keep stuff separated.
I only wish I used "vitamins" and had empty tubes...

And those kieliszki (40ml glasses)... hehe I came up with the same trick and now have like 100 of them supplied by best store ever - Tesco
Taking into consideration I'm sort of "bootleg" Pole and I don't drink alcohol ... having 100 of them is sometimes hard to explain ...

That's a really smart idea using the tubes like that, and very neatly finished too

[badpirate]

Nice. That is a smart idea

I have found that tape helps when you mix a batch of paint, just seal it with some scotch tape and it will save it for a bit, also works with the pva, water and paint mud effect tactic
