New Products - Hobby Storage Master Collection

Today we release you all from cluttered tables, miss matched storage units and ever growing collection of paint pots. I present the Hobby Storage Master Collection. The HSMC is a complete modular paint and hobby system designed to tame almost any hobby station.

Each unit is designed to solve a specific issue from paint storage in all it various sizes to small parts management and even model painting sets. With this system you can build the kit as small or large as needed to tame your hobby collection. With less than at 12x10" space they units pack allot of storage in a small amount of space.

The basis for all of this is the Master Collection Tray, MCT. The MCTs are  units cut in a pattern to fit the various parts as needed. They come it 2 sizes a full tray, 9x11x1" and  half tray 9x5x1". Cut patterns are set for paint from virtually all manufacturers from traditional small through tall dropper bottles. Each tray snaps together without glue. Full trays hold 48 dropper or 30 GW sized paints, 24 and 15 for half trays. The specialty hobby tray includes space for a 4" ceramic tile pallet, not included, 11 model stand/handles and slots for 6 paint pots.






Next are the  Master Collection  Storage Units, MCSU. All designed to accept the any number of MCTs as needed. They units can be had in single, 2 and 3 level kits that interlock to create larger units.
The 3 level kit is designed to hold 3 tray for short, non dropper paints with 2.75" between levels. The 2 level unit expends the height to 3.75" for dropper bottles or hobby painting trays. Single units are available in either size and stack together.

Finally we have the Master Collection Stepped Topper, MCST, and the Master Collection Drawer Units, MCDU. These pieces will now allow you to tame the last few bits including the large 2oz bottles used by airbrush and craft paints or glue bottles. The drawers are designed to fit the 2.75" storage units and available in 3 sizes, 3 drawer, 2 drawer and single drawer. All are full depth with fully supported bottoms for added strength.

Assembly Instructions - Stepped Paint Storage Units

With the new Stepped Paint Storage Units getting out to users we have been getting questions on how to assemble the units. The process is simple but can appear daunting when you open the box and are greeted with so many pieces of wood. Fear not, like any kit the goal is to make the process as painless as possible. So lets begin.

Equipment:

150-220 grit sand paper

hobby knife

PVA glue

masking tape or clamps

damp rag or paper towels

The parts are ready to assemble as they are shipped but we recommend you give them a light sanding with some 150 or 220 sand paper to remove any cut marks from the laser. We recommend using an electric palm sander for this because it is faster but a basic sanding block will work fine as well. You only need to sand the flats and not the wedges. The laser leaves a very clean edge that is normally free of splinters and we try to catch and clean up any before the items are shipped. If you do find one though, you can clean it up with either sand paper or a hobby knife.

For glue, I recommend  Aleene's Original Tacky Glue is the best glue ever made for craft projects like this. It doesn't run and gives you plenty of wiggle room for alignment. It also is easier to control and clean up than regular PVA glue. The tape and clamps are just for holding parts as you assemble then and let the glue set. For this build I used both but the tape was the most beneficial  The clamp was more for the photos than the actual assembly.

Now that we have our assembly tools and the parts are clean we can begin. Start by grouping the parts together by shape. This will speed up the assembly a bit and keep the parts you need readily available. Lay out the sides, the logo shelf front, a shelf bottom and a shelf back as shown in the picture. 

Using a small amount of glue attache the shelf bottom to the logo shelf front as shown.If any glue squeezes out use a damp cloth to clean it up. I left the glue in the photos so you could get a look at where the glue was being placed.

Now attach the shelf back to the shelf bottom just like you did with the logo front piece. When assembled they should for a U shape like the one in the photo.

Put a small amount of glue on the edges of the U and slot it into the side piece. 

Now take another shelf bottom and back. Glue them as shown in the photo. Note the location of the notch.

Turn the assembly around, add some glue to the edge and slot it into the side piece. This may be a little tricky because the piece needs to go in at a slight angle. Once the pieces are in use a piece of tape to help hold things in place while the glue dries.

Repeat this process with the remaining 2 shelves. 

Next attach the other side panel using a small amount of glue on the mating surfaces.

Once both side panels are in place add the final shelf back.

This completes the setup of the stepped part of the unit so if you are assembling the units with out drawers you just need to let the glue dry and remove the tape to begin using the unit. If you are assembling a drawer unit then continue on.

The kit includes 4 drawer supports that need to be slotted and glued in place as shown in the photo. If you are not using Tacky Glue, you may need to let the glue dry a little before proceeding. 

 

The last parts to add to the unit are the drawer stop and cross bars. These pieces glue in place in the slots provided. 

 

The final part is the drawer itself. It just requires a bit of glue around the edges and some tape to hold it together while the glue dries.

When everything is dry just slide in the drawer and the unit is ready for use. You can leave the unit in raw wood but would recommend giving it light spray with sealer to keep the wood from changing color or being effected by humidity. You can also paint the units. Again we recommend spray paint with a light coat or two to seal things.

Now go and pull those paints out of the show boxes and move the to their new home.
