Are those paints in roygbiv order?
I made my own paint stand/organizer using the method from this video (ruclips.net/video/rmxzSCfaVyE/видео.html). In my build on this, I black bombed the finished stand with black spray paint, and trimmed and glued black foam core board on the back to hold the bottles in place. My stand holds around 100 paints. It's 'portable', in that it's easy enough to grab and carry, but since it's made out of PVC, it's comparatively heavy.
Check out these organizers, they're made of lazer-cut MDF that you assemble; hobbyzone.pl

@@oldedominion8782 the hobbyzone shit is beautiful but its so costly. I would die if i got everything I needed there.
One of the things I use is old product displays from the craft store, I just went in and asked if they were getting rid of any of their displays and if I could have one. Granted I am a frequent customer and it’s a pretty small local company but they were nice enough to give me a display that used to hold chalk pastels sold individually! I hope this idea helps anyone on a budget!
I can't believe it.. A shop that is actually in my country for a change!
You can always add a drop of paint to each paint lid so you can see the paint colour at a glance, as well as what each line/brand it is.
lol... just ordered one of each of almost every tool he makes for the proxxon wire table... i think yes, in fact, it made the shipping pretty reasonable! ;-) AND made sure to let him know was referred by your channel! thanx again!
I don't paint minis, nor do I craft anything you show here.. I want to. And I plan to at somepoint but for now I just enjoy watching your videos.
I make my own. I really like the old style toolboxes that tradesmen would make themselves. So I go to thrift shops and yard sales, and find cheap "vintage" boxes of some sort -wood or metal - that looks like it could be usable. From there I just take scraps of wood I have, usually pine or spruce, and fashion various holders. If you can find a good box or one you can sand clean and repaint or repair, that cuts a huge amount of cost down, and effort. A decent sized box is going to be twenty dollars of material anyways, plus hinges, latch, paint, clear coat and fasteners. On top of cutting and glueing/nailing it together. Why bother? Plus you then have a nice custom box that's as sturdy and as finished as you want - either raw mdf, or clear coated or stained wood - with all the space for exactly what you use.
nail polish storage options are typically useful for our hobby paint bottles as well
Ha! Don't talk to me about shipping costs.
I live in Australia - I dream of only having to pay your costs from the Netherlands.
Then there's the Australia tax!
These guys are in Adelaide and I have a few years of good experiences with them:
back2base-ix.com/the-rack-acrylic.html
For the majority of my paints and brushes I use the Broken Token Paint Rack, I also recycle packaging.
Like, I use the box the Citadel Mini Holder comes in for stuff, the box my Nolzurs Beholder came in, and any time I get small items from my store they come in a little brown paper bag that I cut the bottoms off and store specific paints schemes in.
As well as using the little display boxes dice come in with some blue tack for DIY miniature holders
Thank you, I was looking for a NA manufacturer and these look great. That price point is awesome too.
I'm on 30, mostly wooded, acres of land in Maine (The Pine Tree State). I have a sawmill and a wood shop. Most of my storage (paints, supplies, etc), templates, dice trays/towers are made of white pine. :)
I buy a tremendous amount of eggs. A few days back I saw the Mighty Gluestick had posted a rack for dropper bottles. This being the case I took the 64 egg boxes, a hot glue gun and an afternoon to make an angled kit as you showed halfway through.
Hey just a tip to make your life a bit easier. When you use your paint just put a dab or dot of paint on the top of the lid so you can see the paint colour when looking at a glance. Also it gives you a good idea what the paint looks like when it dries as it maybe darker orlighter when wet vs dry.
As you can see if you look close in the video, I did that with a lot of my reaper paints. Stopped doing it though after a while.
Something I learned from a makeup organization video is doing a swatch of every colour on paper, laminate it, and use a hole punch to get perfect lid-sized circles to glue on.
Man almost 100k subs. So awesome. I’m pretty sure I started following after the first cave door video. Kudos
I’ve been seeing your user name for a long time. It’s funny how even with this many subs the names of those commenting from the beginning still stand out. 👍
I would recommend painting the tip of the dropper bottles (or bottom if you have them upside down), yes you can see the paint in the bottle, but if you haven't used a color for a few months, the color you see in the bottle wont be the correct color because the paints slowly separate. Plus the dried paint is slightly different color then the wet paint, so you get a more accurate representation of what you will be getting on your models.
I just got two of these today (I am a Dutchie, so shipping is cheap) ) and put them together right away. You don't need to glue everything together, just the three outside edges and the small front strips and done. My Army Painter paint bottles look really wll in them. I even used some of the spaces for small tools.
I am thinking about using a black primer to make them look even cooler.
So thanks for the tip :)
I used TTCombat storage system for 48 vallejo paints. Then when I had about 60 paints I decided to buy new one. I chose 100 vallejo paints rack that stored paints horizontally and After about 2 months I decided that I do not want them stored in that way (I had 94 paints at that time anyway).
I went crazy and decided to design my own MDF paint rack and my brother in law cut them out for me. They can store 260 paints as well some 60ml vallejo bottles for primers :)
Want to share that I was rather fortunate. My FLGS went out of business and I bought their Army Painter paint rack, 75 % complete with flocking and brushes at a very good price... And the rack has Wheels!
i made my own, and i bought a old spice rack (3 of them ) and put my dropper bottles in there , they fit perfect.
I just used some scrap wood, ripped it, and used a drill press to bore out dropper style holes. Little bit of stain and seal and it looks great. Little heavy though.
I got nail polish stands from Primark/Penneys here in Ireland. They are 10 euro each and hold 44 army painter dropper bottles perfectly with extra storage in the middle for things like brush cleaner, tubs of basing materials etc.
i am an instant fan because of this video. i have spent over an hour looking at what people have posted for ideas. I love the fact that you asked for posts about what other people are doing and support the idea. Great video.
Since the plastic of paint bottles tends to be cloudy, the first thing I do with a new bottle of paint (after adding a shaker/shaking it) is to paint the top half of the lid - everything from the tip to the grip lines. You can still see the lids, but the top part is the paint itself, as it will look dry.
For on the desk display, I use these heavy duty clear acrylic makeup trays. They sell them cheap at TJMaxx. Some even come with a tray space in the middle for whatever your working on and big holders for brushes and glue.
tell and show! lets see! sounds cool
I use a clear acrylic multi-shelf that is advertised for finger nail polish. It holds over 100 bottles and was like 30 some bucks shipped through Amazon.
A couple points...
1. I bought several laser-cut paint rack/drawer sets from a British fellow on eBay RIGHT AFTER the initial Brexit vote (the GBP kind of sank for a bit after the vote so it was cheap as chips...) which are still used daily!
2. I also invested in acrylic nail polish racks from Amazon.ca. Each can hold citadel, P3, Vallejo dropper bottles perfectly; each tier can hold something like 12-15 bottles of paint, and a 6-tier rack is like $20 CDN. :D
links please sounds great
Hey. Great videos. Thx for doing this, sir!
I don’t paint minis, I’m a Star Wars 1:18 Customizer and I make Dioramas. But you’ve given me so many ideas for my craft.
Great to see a fellow Canuck nerd. I’m in Calgary.
Peace out
I use a 5 teir nail polish rack. Cost about £8 holds around 65 paints, the channels are big enough to take gw paints which does mean the dropped bottle style are a little loose (that said I have that many paints there is no space for them to rattle)
I use nail polish stands they fit those bottle perfectly. You can find them on eBay, Amazon, or even check cosmetic stores as they tend to just throw them out regularly!
Been working on organizing my game room and my garage project desks and was trying to find this exact item. Thank you!
The best set up ive ever seen..... WOW
Great video! I'm new to the hobby and love seeing how everyone keeps their personal workspace organized!
I don't know if it was intentional by ShiftingSands, but one reason to store paints "lid down" is to stop them from drying out. More of a problem with VOC based paints - but a real problem.
By the way, I’ll let you know a little bit about myself.
I don’t pay miniatures, I’m a Star Wars 1:18 Customizer. This means the 4 inch figures it a lot of people grew playing with. I also build custom dioramas to display my figures in.
I love watching your videos because you give me lots of tips to use towards my dioramas.
For pain’s at the moment I’m using a lot of CraftSmart from Michael’s. But one of the employees there recently turned me onto the small bottles called golden fluids which are a high pigment acrylic. As well, He’s turned me onto Liquitex basics which is another acrylic paint and it comes in something that looks similar to a toothpaste or handcream tube.
For storing my paints, at the moment I’m using a Råksog utility cart, which is a lot like the ones that hair salon uses for perms or hair dying. You can also see some at Michael’s which are tricked out with all kinds of add-ons
www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/raskog-utility-cart-black-90333976/
and inside each basket I put a Antonius five compartment organizer which holds the paints really well. It fits nicely although there is a few inches of space to one side which works out pretty good for putting some extra little bits and bobs to go with the paints. Are use it to store my 118ml bottles of white gray and black that I use for different washes. (The cheap-ass Dollarama stuff)
www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/antonius-basket-insert-transparent-50043573/
Anyway it’s quite a different system than what you use but some people might find it interesting or even useful to take a look at How I’m currently storing my paint
GameCraft Miniatures makes (and sells) a variety of paint racks, portable painting stations and work space organizers. They are mdf and come sized for dropper bottles orCitadel ones. GameCraft also sells aloof MDF buildings in sizes from 6mm to 28mm. They have a web site, just search for GameCraft.
For paints like Folkart I found a cheap spice rack at Walmart that works pretty good. Being on a budget you get really creative ... :)
Nail polish racks from salons work great. You can get them from wholesalers online dirt cheap, and they come in a huge variety of styles.
links if u please!!
I use the Vallejo paint racks mixing the vertical and desk stands
Saw Gerard of Shifting Lands today, we discussed your site ... good fun to be able to reference your channel and his stuff !!!
I'm pretty sure Citadel actually designs the pots to malfunction, waste paint, and tip over. I use them because I have very little Vallejo selection in my area, and I dislike the P3 line's pots too.
I replaced Retributer Armour, Stormhost Silver, and Leadbelcher with VGC Gold, Silver, and Gunmetal... It's not just the bottles that are better, I get much much better coverage with Vallejo Game Colour.
I'm jealous of your selection here, heheh. It's hard to order this stuff online here in BC, and harder to find it in stores.
I use cheap metal nail polish racks. I got three off ebay for $35 that all together can hold over 220 bottles of nail polish, which is slightly larger than the standard dropper bottle.
I bought a 5.5x600x900mm MDF board, and I am cutting it into my own shelving design. 5 shelves, 35mm deep each, with 25mm step ups.
I use the hobbyzone modular set to organise my stuff
I'm not sure if youve covered this yet, but I'd love to see your thoughts on painting clear parts of minis, clear minis, etc. Also any crafting ideas for static spell effects?
That's good for me as I live in Germany about 3 hours from the boarder to Netherlands, so shipping shouldn't be too bad for me.
Nail polish acrilic rack. It holds up to 96 dropper bottles or 72 gw/P3 pots, or 66 tamya pots
I use the Vallejo Module Paint Stands (I put reaper paints in them). You can get them on Amazon.ca for under $30 per Stand.

I really like them. I need more but I would need a bigger desk first.
Thanks, keep looking for things to help with a new hobby set up.
I have a horrendous amount of gw pots that I’d like to convert to dropper bottles, just a case of finding a good supplier of them. I’m a designer by trade so I can make this sort of stuff at work for free (my favourite price as plastic crack is an expensive addiction!!)
Dollar store bathroom organizers for nail polish is my current dirt-cheap method. Not wall mounted though.
I see you're a fellow Death Guard player!!! Awesome!
I made the paint rack myself using a hard 3mm cardboard. it was a fun build! not too fun when cutting the cardboard though… 😅😅
Been thinking about making my own but i use larger bottles and sometimes squeeze tubes
I use clear plastic nail polish racks found on Amazon.
I know this is an old video, but could you update the link in the description for the paint racks?
I for one am thinking of buying a bunch of those nail polish racks you can find on amazon, and using them for my paints
Neat idea, but I don't care much for MDF and I'm not in Europe. I have a woodshop, so I'm going to try my hand at making my own out of wood. I have a 3D printer on the way, so I'm going to start making my own minis.
Found it thank you 😎
How did you mount them to the wall?
There are nail polish holders at Dollar Tree for a buck and each one holds 16 of the dropper bottle or 12 dropper bottles and four cidadel buckets perfect
I love your videos I love what you do!
Just an idea, I would enjoy seeing a Friday build on a simple wooden crate (or a pair of them at different sizes) out of dollar store foam, If that's possible. Stay awesome!
I made mine from foambord. It holds 286? I think it’s 13x22. After I plotted it out it was a lot of cutting and hot glue. A lot.
i use hobbyzone
Insulation foam board, 25mm cookie cutter, and a rubber mallet. Bish bash bosh.
Would love to hear your thoughts, and see your review of, some of the Hobby Zone products
How does this affect the paint in the bottle? Does it cause the nozzle to be clogged with dried paint when you go to use the paint?? The more I use dropper bottles the less I like them because the nozzles clog and it seems to waste a lot of paint even when you need just a little.
Lol, everyone eventually catches the mini painting bug. Welcome to mini crack
I'm cheap, TP rolls hot glued to cardboard and apple barrel walmart paints.
I need a shirt like that!
So I make parametric set of paint racks: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3016647
Open source, the file used to create these is parametric, which means you can input measurements for the size of the paint dropper, along with the X/Y of the size you want and it will produce the designs you need to laser cut them.
Downside is you do need access to a laser cutter.
Oh, and after watching your video, imma totally paint mine black now.
Now that you've done it, would you say it's better to paint before or after assembly?
As much as it sucks to paint after I would still do it that way. Doing it before would take a ton of space to lay all the pieces out (especially for multiple racks).
I use a lot of tamyia glass jar paint I need a rack for them what do you recommend? Would those paint racks fit them? They are 10 mil size bottles
For the Aussies: Just got myself a set up from here, www.back2base-ix.com/the-rack-mdf.html .
I went with The Rack, but the Wall Climber is a similar product to that shown
Cool - unfortunately, I decided on the cheap option and is currently making my own with 5mm foamcore and a whole lot of hot glue. It looks like shit as it is right now, but I don't care - it will hold my paints, and a lot of them - 8 rows of 28 bottle holes will hopefully cover all my needs. And, if I need more, I will just glue on more rows.
been using citadel colour for over 2 decades for my sculptures and crafting projects. The paints are great for sticking power(after the spray basecoat of chaos black),where other acrylics I've used just rub off during the painting process. citadel paints are very expensive, and 1/3 of the $200 set I ordered were already dried up in the terribly designed pots, where I spend a lot of time adding water and stirring up with a toothpick : CITADEL COLOUR POTS ARE CRAP and a waste of money. Can you recommend a less expensive, good paint brand that will not rub off or , or just direct me to one of your vids that covers this? sorry, I'm lazy. I quite like your vids and after watching them have been collecting cardboard to maybe one day make something cool ; ).
Vallejo or Reaper
I'll check it out. Thank you sir, and keep up the good work : ).
Howdy from Texas. Well folkflrt 2oz bottle fit in to this racks?
What are those paint...rack..bottle..things? XP
Thanks for this one 👍
How do you store the Folk Art paints you use for terrian? Same company make racks? I notice you have other shelves in the back ground any links to the rest. . how about a desk tour now that you are doing more mini painting?
I made the other shelving myself. I already did a room tour a few years ago when I redid my shop, it covers the desk and whatnot. some things have changed, but I'm planning on doing a few other big changes in the shop, then I will do a room tour update.
Hey I was wondering what your thoughts on hand hot wires are and compared to a table one.
Finally grabbed a few of these! What was your method to hang them up given those tabs that stick out of the back?
Drywall screw and washer through two of the holes. Fastest way but then you can’t put bottle tip first in those spots. Alternative would be to mount strips to wall and glue hang the tabs on that. Not as easy/fast and harder to take down if you want to move them.
I really liked this video! Like you, my paint collection (and brushes) is ever-expanding. I don't paint too often but when I do, I go for a couple weeks of obsessed painting. My problem is the paint often settles and separates. I use Vallejo paints almost exclusively. Do you have some advice for keeping them in good shape between sessions, and how you mix them to get them back in a usable form? Or can you recommend a video that can help in this regard? Thanks very much, and I really love your videos and admire your talent!
I use a mixer. I have a review video about it. Works well.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial OK...watching that one now. Unfortunately, I have already added stainless steel agitators in my paints (which I picked up at Canadian Tire), but so far no worries about rust. Those beads sound interesting though. I will look at picking up that sharker soon. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Awesome channel!
Hi Black Magic Craft!
Do you plan to do anything on Frostgrave? I think the setting is far more interesting for classical dungeon adventures than the game itself. Nonetheless, snowy ruins of a lost city should be interesting for many people?!
I will be playing my first game of Frostgrave in a a few days, so some builds for it are going to happen for sure. Although I may actually avoid going with snow themes to keep any new terrain useable in other games/settings.
# @@BlackMagicCraftOfficial:
Cool! Sounds nice! I guess, snow cover is somewhat special. Maybe baking soda or flour would work for "temporal snow"? Please do not sneeze...
POXWALKERS
Will these racks fit ProAcryl 22ml bottles?
I'm using homemade racks made of foamcore.
Any tips on wall mounting the racks? They don't really seem to be designed for it.
The quick way is two screws with washers, through two of the holes. This means you can’t store paint tip first in those slots. Other way would be mounting a wood strip to wall then hanging with the tabs and some glue, but that’s more permanent than I wanted.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Hmm.. It hadn't occurred to me to use washers and the holes, but since I'm storing my bottles tip first, I'll have to get creative. Thanks, though :)
Hey question about your clear coat that you use. On your store page it lists "Krylon Crystal Clear Matte" and links to "Matte Finish". There's also a "Crystal Clear" spray. I'm guessing you meant the one you linked, but the name is confusing because it's a mish-mash of both products. It looks like the difference is matte vs not. So the question, the one linked is the proper one, right?
www.amazon.com/dp/B005ENZ8CS
vs
www.amazon.com/dp/B00023JE7K
It's a little tricky because what I find on the shelf in Canada I don't find exactly the same thing on the USA Amazon. The stuff I have is a Crystal Clear Matte Finish, so I linked to the Matte Finish one on Amazon. The second link you provide, while it is Crystal Clear, it's also GLOSS which you don't want.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Awesome, thanks for clearing it up
Can I ask how exactly you attach them to the wall? I'd love a similar solution but I don't want to start drilling holes in the wall to accomodate.
You’re not going to hang shelves full of paint without screwing them to a wall.
What loot boxes are you subscribed to that gives paints and other modeling stuff??
Asset Drop and RealmSmith boxes have both provided me with a variety of paints. I have multiple unboxing vids for both services.
do you put citadel pain in drop bottles ? what do you use. water?
I don’t use citadel paints very much.
Paperweights... best use of 5th ed D&D Books I have ever seen.
I have a laser and this is just a laser cut product and am in Canada if anyone wants one made :)
I use this from Hobbyzone
www.hobbyzone.pl/en/12-modular-workshop-system/
www.hobbyzone.pl/ Is what I use, they have distributors all over the world so shipping is not as much of a problem.
Link doesn’t work anymore. He still sell this?
will this work with walmart/craft store paint bottles?
No those bottles are like 5 times bigger. These are for miniature paints.
My paint racks do support craft store paints: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3016647 but you do need access to a laser cutter. If you look at the second photo, you can see some craft paint racks on the side.
I'd kill for this if it was able to hold 2oz/60ml bottles
When are you going to transfer your citadel paint to droppers?
I'm not. I don't own citadel paints....well I have like two metallics, no need to transfer those two. And I have the washes, but I washes are the one thing I prefer to have in pots over dropper bottles.
Partner with critical role for set pieces?
