discussion Advice question - where to keep all the paint containers/ bottles?

[Guest]

As the amount of paint is increasing, and all different shape and sizes by many manufacturers (Vallejo, AK, Revell, Humbrol, Hataka etc.), where is it best to keep them all together but easy to see (colour choice)?

Any sort of container/ box ?

All ideas, examples appreciated! Thanks

For 17ml bottles a six shelf nail varnish rack is ideal, i just got one from Amazon, just an idea.

Clear Ferrero Rocher boxes.

Great fun eating the chocolate contents first too.....:thumb2:

pound shop storage boxes.......quid a go, comes with a lid......one will hold 50-60 vallejo bottles......or 80 revell cubes

ive got a few, one for vallejo, one for revell, one for enamels and tamiya, one for weathering stuff, one for odds and ends

i store them away (they are stackable obviously)......every time i start a kit i go through and pull out what i want and put on the bench, when ive finished i have a tidy up anyway so they get put away til te next one

I used to use a fishing tackle box like this, you can pick them up at Argos, Amazon etc at good prices

Those used very rarely in a stackable storage box in a cupboard, the ones used regularly in the racks from Hobbyzone or a home made rack for my model color.

Thank you, lots of ideas and thinking.
Steve - some good price ones for vertical use on Amazon.
Ron - even more chocolate needed then :smiling5:. 17ml fit in good as well.
Paul - storage sense. I’ll do an online look at them.
Dave W - another online look to see how much room and cost. Good storage
Dave - great idea and how it works; store most away but keep current used ones out accessible. And very impressive working place and paint shelves/ draws photos.
