New paint storage parts


We have been busy lately putting the final touches on some new paint storage options. The goal with these is to offer a complete storage system for all your hobby needs. The first two parts of the system are complete and shipping now.

First up is a new design for our 50 pot Modular Paint Tower. This version has 2 fixed shelves set at a nice shallow angle to make it easy to see and reach paints in the back row. The design also adds a second set of tray supports to better handle the weight of a full tray without tipping.

The second piece is the Modular Drawer Unit with 25 paint tray. This is perfect for smaller paint collections or specialty applications such as airbrush paints. The drawers are 6x8x0.75", perfect for storing small items like decals or brush soap. 

The units are shown with GW style paints but can be cut to fit paints from other manufactures such as Privateer Press, Reaper and Vellejo. Note these paints may be smaller or larger than the GW pots so the actual capacity will be shifted accordingly. The pieces can be purchased separately or as a set. As always custom engraving is available.

Minifig Case ready to ship

We can put another done stamp on another project. After making some minor change the final design for the Lego Minifig model case is now ready to ship. The primary change is in adding a face frame to help strengthen the top and bottom bands. This framework was kept as thin as possible to allow the maximum amount of light but still keep the framework sturdy. The piece shown is in wood but it is also available in an all acrylic design.

New prototype - Lego Minifig Display Case

I got a request from a friend that for a display case for his Lego Minifig collection. After talking with him a little more about it and doing a bit of research I started work on one. The first thing I discovered was the case would be really small. Each set is 16 figures and they are only 1.5 inches tall. This makes the case roughly 4 inches tall and 8 inches wide. This left allot of room to play with in the design. I decided to go with a 3 sided acrylic design on a wood back plate. The top, shelves and bottoms are all clear. This allows light to flood through the case making the models easier to see. It also has the added benefit of easily adding LED lighting to the case without it interfering with normal viewing.

This is still a prototype and the design will change a little. One thing I want to try with is making the cases stack-able. I am also thinking on scaling it up a little to fit standard gaming minis. Also I am thinking on a 4 level unit. For now here is the prototype. Tell me what you think?
