Paint Holder
« on: December 05, 2009, 10:57:11 PM »
Hey All.
Ive been war gamming for a fair few years now, and one thing Ive noticed is that Ive ended up with a lot of paint. I mean, really, quite a lot.  Ive been looking around recently for spice racks and whatnot to try and store it all somewhere (the draw I keep it in at the moment is too higgldy-piggledy for me to find any pot of paint I want in any reasonable amount of time). So, what do people use? Where do you get them?

Miniaturicum in Germany sell excellent, laser-cut paint racks:

If you scroll down the page, the "Farbständer für Farben div. Hersteller" takes most paint pots available in the market. You´ll have to assemble them, but that´s pretty easy and after that, they are very stable and tidy.

these seem to be the same that Overlord recommend in the link to Miniature Scenery. So it's just a matter where you prefer to order  ;)

I keep most of my paints in cheap drawers from Ikea.

These may be of help though:

That´s a bit of the Royce Rolls of paintracks, innit?

Apart from the fact that the Miniature Scenery stuff is thrice the price of Miniaturicum's, but the concept is pretty much the same.

I use the ones from Miniaturicum, too. For a while, two paint racks were enough, but now, I even have bought a third one.

If you are in the states, Miniaturicum is available from Hydra Miniatures http://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=39
These paint racks, I have both styles, have contributed greatly to my improved painting.They are easy to assemble and very sturdy. I recommend them highly.

Thanks for the help everyone.
Those TerraSenic ones look fantastic, but they are a little too Cathedraly for my liking. The largest one makes me think of the Coliseum.
I think im going to go with a Miniaturicum one, they look ok really. Yet, this brings me to a new problem. The website is a bit too in-German for me. Do they have a seller in England? Is there a button to English up thier website? Do they even ship to the United Kingdom?

Again, thanks for the help. No one helps as good as the fine people of the LaF.

The Miniaturicum guy is called 'Lurch' here on LAF. Simply send him a PM and go from there.
