That's just about exactly what I would like for a paint at my workbench! Really ticks all the boxes...

Too bad the postage is a deal breaker.

I bit the bullet and ordered the Miniature Scenery rack that I linked in the original post.

The shipping is painful, but I couldn't find any other racks that so perfectly fit my needs.

Thanks to all for the great suggestions!

Clear acrylic nail polish racks. Stores most brands of paint, ridiculously cheap on amazon.

Cheap on Ebay too.

Thanks for that suggestion, some of the acrylic nail polish/tattoo ink stands I've found on fleabay and amazon are silly cheap, much much cheaper than the equivalent sized wargaming-specific racks.

I badly need better organization on my painting desk, so I'll be keeping the nail polish racks in mind!

Just as a followup, I just discovered Impudent Mortal in the States, who have a range of lasercut buildings, some of which Rich of TooFatLardies used earlier this year for a brewery, which is how I discovered them...

...and they have a small range of quite reasonably priced paint racks in lasercut MDF as well.

I have to back this up. I LOVE doing business with Impudent Mortal. For those of you that have desk racks and STILL need more space they make wall hanging paint racks that are fantastic. They do different sizes as well, so I'm able to get my tints and craft paints off my desk.

Be careful with acrylic nail polish stands, because I bought one on ebay, and upon receiving it, I saw that Vallejo paints donīt fit!

So I went with the attractively priced paint rack from Warbases.

     

This A4 (8.25"x11.70") sized rack holds 45 dropper-style bottles and has a very modest footprint on the workbench. Extremely happy with this product. Have ordered a second one because it just makes sense.  8)

So happy with my new Warbases Paint Racks that I wanted to post up a shot of them in place chez nous.



This is a simple, sturdy design that stores your paint in plain view, while maintaining a small footprint. The 'kit' was easy to assemble, only requiring a few rubber-bands to hold it together while the glue dries...  The price is right, too.

Here they both are, mounted on the back-wall of my workbench.

Picked up one of the Impudent Mortal racks I mentioned above, assembled it tonight and have reorganized my painting area around it.

I second the Nail Polish Display Stand.  I bought one on Twin City Gamers & Joroas's recommendation and it was so good I went back and got two more. Holds all types of paint bottles including Foundry, P3, GW (old and new types) and Vallejo.

A long time ago I found this type of paint storage system, I don't own it myself but it looks nice... Holds a good number of pots.

GW paints sit in those nicely, but the slimmer Vallejo ones fall over.

About the Warbases one, I don't have a permanent set up so can it stack flat like a tray or will the droppers fall out?

I think I will get one whatever as I am sick of trawling through boxes of paints looking for the one I thought I had...
