Hey everyone, I have been working diligently on a solution for paint storage since viewing Awesomepaintjob's youtube video. I myself have more paints than anyone I know, and my own stash was getting out of control. I have come up with a solution that will fit every paint I can think of EXCEPT Tamiya, which I will later design another shelf to accommodate this paint. I have thrown in some pics of the completed units and different methods of stacking that can be utilized with the shelving.
Constructed entirely of acrylic, these shelves can hold a TON (60 per shelf if stacked as seen below) of paint depending on which method you use, and have an acrylic back sturdy enough to hang on a wall. I am trying to gauge an interest level here to see I anyone out there in the modeling community could benefit from this type of paint storage, because to be honest, I need to have a lot of interest to keep my costs down.
If you are interested, please tell your friends and drop a comment in the box below so I can determine how many of the to begin mass producing.

It seems that there is another addition to the paint shelf family. Here I present the "Dropper Bottle Shelf" Stores 270 Vallejo or Reaper Dropper Bottle Paints. This shelf completely cleared off my paint desk and allowed me to toss out about 4 cubic feet of storage containers and a Painter 80 revolving shelf. http://ttgbunker.blogspot.com/p/store.html

Over on my blog http://ttgbunker.blogspot.com/ you can win one of these popular paint storage shelves. TTG is celebrating its first birthday, and we would love to see you there. To participate, comment on the blog and please mention somewhere that you came from Dakka. Thanks!
Thought you might like to see my latest brainstorm in the paint shelf market. Once I made the paint storage shelves to hold the bulk of my paint, I kept finding that all of the paints I was using for specific projects were laying all over the place! Instead of putting all of these paints away before the project is finished, I thought that it would make sense to have a place to put them in the interim. Alas, you have the newest of additions to the paint shelf family, the Project Shelf. This shelf will come in sizes ranging from 20 paints to 60 paints and really cleans up the area even more. I hope you find this shelf useful in your painting endeavors.

How much are they? I'd be interested in one of the little ones and a larger older style wall shelf.

I haven't came up with pricing yet for the new shelves, but I will say that acrylic and the tools to cut it are not cheap. Look for these shelves to be as reasonably priced as possible.
Pricing has been set for the shelves in all 3 varieties.
The 25+ Project Shelf- Holds 25 of your common hobby paints with room for a few extras should you be using various bottles. This shelf will cost $40.00 + S&H
The 50+ Project Shelf- Holds 50 of your common hobby paints with room for a few extras should you be using various bottles. This shelf will cost $50.00 + S&H
The 60+ Project Shelf- Holds 60 of your common hobby paints with room for a few extras should you be using various bottles. This shelf will cost $60.00 + S&H
I sooo need to save money to buy the 270 and a 25!
