Hi friends, In order to organize my workspace in a better way, I developed a rack for Tamiya paints. I know that there is a lot of other various racks and holders that serve similar function, however, I did not like any of them and decided to develop my own solution, according to my needs. Up to 60x 10 ml bottles can be stored in it. Of course, this storage is compatible not only with Tamiya bottles, but also with any kind of other jars with diameter of 1.38 in (35 mm). The rack is made of 1/8 in (3 mm) transparent acrylic plastic which is cut out on CNC laser cutter. All parts then easily assembled together and fixed with cyanoacrylate glue. The rack can also be made from a different material - for example, plywood with similar thickness. The size of the rack is 18.7 x 9.1 x 4.8 in or 475 x 231 x 123 mm (L x W x H). Anyone interested can download it here and use it and modify in any desired way. The file is in PDF format - it can be opened directly in Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW or any other vector editing software: Tamiya_Paint_Rack_60.pdf (9.46 KB) Best regards, Alex

Thank you! Actually, sometimes I need to have a good assortment, as it is often difficult to match the color of the prototype. And it is also useful to have spare bottles of the same color, because 10 ml is almost nothing...

You must do a fair amount of painting because some of my least used .5 oz bottles of Model Master paints dry out faster than I would like. Deb
