I've sorted the storage challenge for my Vallejo paints. I wanted a means of keeping them cap downwards as this seems to make them easier to use/mix.

Having bought a number of cheap plastic storage boxes from the local discount hardware store for the gaming table, it turned out that one of the sizes is slightly deeper than the height of a Vallejo dropper bottle. 

A simple insert of 6mm MDF with 20mm holes drilled for the pots lets me hold 50 pots in the box, and the lid holds them in place when it's clipped on too. Now I just need to make some more inserts to store the rest.

There you go, mate.

Were we not discussing how having a few more mini-BLAM's during the year would be a good thing?

Looks like you have come up with a sound idea for one of them.

This is a VERY cool construct. Table is nice, but this dripper-box is just the thing!  8)

Excellent job on the table and the Vallejo bottle boxes  :) :) :) :)

I had a table like this when I had a basement (living in an apartment now.... :( ) but with a 6" deep shelf down each side set 3' below the table top to allow players to put tape measures, rules etc on and keep them off the table top.

Now that's an idea, I'd been thinking about putting a drawer at the top of each of the open spaces, perhaps I could use that for a similar purpose.  A shelf down each side isn't possible on my table because of the doors, but pull out 'shelves' would work.
