Summary

Modular Paint Rack for Tamiya Model Paints

I couldn't find a rack I liked for Tamiya's 1oz (30ml) and .33oz (10ml) paint jars so I created this one.

This stacking system allows you to house as many paint jars as you want on your desk in tiers of 3 as well as a general purpose bin sized well for your Tamiya cement bottles, micro set and other odd sized items.

The .33oz rack holds 5 jars and the 1oz rack holds 4 jars.

Each rack has a tongue and groove fitting on the left and right to tie them snugly together and a tongue and groove to let them join into tiers vertically. Each vertical tier will need the legs printed. I can create a 4th row set of legs if someone wants them.

This is my third prototype version after some experiments with how to link and stack them. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. The photos are actually of the Mk II version. The only difference is I refined the stacking slots to be a better fit and hold and went up to 4 legs under each tier instead of 2 to eliminate the possibility of lean and need for the tier stacking height and legs to be exact.

Legs will need to be attached with super glue. You may wish to join the tiers with super glue as well if you have a permanent setup.

Coming Soon:

  • A paint brush and small parts rack thank links into the system
  • Racks for Model master Jars. (let me know if there's an interest in other brand bottles)
