Paint pot holder

Post by Gb64c »

Has any one used one of these, any reviews?

I am thinking of getting the six level one. I currently use several double deck lazy Susan's but always am buying more paint.

Since returning to the hobby I have discovered that there are a lot of new companies and lots of new stuff. We used to just mix oil paint with turpentine for our washes, now these days people buy them, so I think I will need more space for bottles of Kursk mud :eeek:

I have one, I used it for a while, it worked, but I prefer to keep my paints in plastic bins to keep the dust off of them., and I find it keeps them better organized.

I am thinking of the 7 tierd one, and think I could have most if not all my paint on one carrousel. It would free up some space for more paint.

There are so many new paints, washes, filters chipping..... That I am quickly running out of space.

I have a five foot plastic folding table, about 3 feet deep and it holds everything inc paint booth, so spec is precious.

I have one.
This is best suited for the 10ml pots of paint.
The larger Tamiya 23ml pots will not fit in the pre molded spaces and they are too large for the Vallejo 17ml pots.
I too have my paints on a wall rack and I think, for me! it's a waste of space.
I'd prefer to have my paints in a carrousel but no one makes them for the 23ml and 17ml pots.

This guy is based in Georgia, U.S.A. and makes some GREAT laser cut plywood and acrylic plastic paint racks, both desk-top and wall hanging style. His name is Tim Sloan................
I have two, and price, service, and shipping are hard to beat..........don't know if he will ship "across the pond", but couldn't hurt to ask.............tell him "Jim Jeffries" sent you :)

I guess it depends on just how many paints you have, I know some modellers have more than some shops I've been to but for me with only a few dozen I found these in IKEA...

Little shelves (£3) perfect for storing my paints and stuff... it just screws together.

Just thought they might be of use to some of you guys... :)

It is not in the photo but a friend showed me a tip with these types of paints... I dip a bit of the colour in the top of the lid so I can pick out the colour more quickly... I'm surprised Vallejo don't do this anyway.
