I've been looking for a good container to put all my paints and paint supplies in. Anyone have any suggestions?

I use a drawer from a Sterilite plastic dresser thing from Wal Mart. I have a separate drawer for tools and one for paint. My collection is getting to the point where I'll need a new solution soon. Here's a pic.



And the "dresser" it goes in, though I just leave the paint drawer on the desk these days.

I made one, out of cardboard, but its not quite big enough any more.

Still, it does the job of keeping some things out of the way.

This guy has specialty built shelves. found them in another thread.

I use one of the clear "tubs" you can get at stores like Walmart. They come in various sizes so I have one large one for my modeling supplies in general and in it I store several smaller one that hold my paint.

No no no no...

Unless you build something yourself:


BWAHAHAHA!

I have too much paint for the first two. I intend to buy the third.

Yep yep. I like the 3rd as well (I've got a Plano box right now), but I'm not dropping $100 for it when I'm as handy as I am.

I see a trip to the hardware store in the near future.
Plexiglass...sawz-all...clear rubber cement...ruler... yep, I'm game.

I like the carrousel and the custom rack. I tried a tackle box ages ago and it worked well for a time, but my modeling equipment outgrew it.

Simple solution for all of you. Buy a wooden plank, use a drill and drill the appropriate sized hole for your paint:

I use one of these .

Looks classier, is portable and keeps everything where I need it. This plus a paint carousel for my Vallejos bottles and I am set.
