War Gaming Paint Racks

I have created a customized shelving system to organize my paints and tools for Warhammer 40K and other model painting projects. ***Wall Options*** Choose from: 2-Step, 3-Step, or 4-Step shelf configurations Or select the Vallejo/similar Bottle Height option for a specific fit ***Shelf Options*** Select from: 5 GW/Citadel Paint Bottles 6 Vallejo/similar Paint Bottles 6 Vallejo/similar Paint Bottles - Tall Back for added stability Variable Height Brush/Tool Rack to hold up to 16 paintbrushes and accessories 2-Step Deep Box for storing larger items 1-Step Blank Shelf for customized storage 2-Step Deep Blank Shelf for extra space The Citadel shelf accommodates official GW bottles, including new Contrast paints and taller washes/textures. The Vallejo shelf holds nearly any ~25mm wide dropper bottles, with a 26mm diameter "hole" providing ample clearance. An alternative Vallejo shelf design features taller backs for enhanced stability. Shelves are designed to be modular, allowing you to pair shelves on either side of the wall and connect them for added versatility. For example, create a configuration like: 2-step wall, shelves, 2-step wall, shelves, and a final 2-step wall. **Variable Height Brush/Tool Rack** This rack holds up to 16 paintbrushes, one hobby knife handle, and pliers/cutters. Simply print the bottom and top parts, with middle parts determining shelf height (my suggestion: 1 of each for a 3-shelf configuration). Glue each part together, then slot the top piece into your chosen wall. **5/12/20 Update** The paintbrush shelves now feature built-in guides for effortless assembly. The overhang in mid and top pieces is only 1.6mm wide, making bridging possible; supports are unnecessary. **Future Additions** - Create wall-mounting rack walls using these shelf designs to mount directly onto a wall.
