Anyone know if the GW paint cases hold all the sizes, including the bigger ones like the Air pots 24ml? Trying to figure out how to store the air paints in a convenient portable way.

Here are the sizes:

Contrast 18ml

Air 24ml

base, dry, layer 12ml

technical 12ml, 24ml

shade 24ml

I get these sorting/storage containers from hobby lobby, good for regular pots with lid, the tall ones have to be stored separately when moving. I also use them for sorting bits, very good imo.

Unless you are determined to use Citadel brand supplies, I would avoid their carrying case. They are overly expensive.

If you don't plan on transporting your paint pots to different painting stations in different places, I would buy one of the MDF/HDF options from GameCraft on Amazon. Below is just an example but there's a lot of different options. They are relatively inexpensive and well made. The only gripe is that you do have to assemble and glue them yourself - but you should be used to that if you're a GW mini painter.

You haven't put your air or contrast paints in dropper bottles? I use a $10 Walmart plastic toolbox for a lot of my regular paints so they just kinda stack in there, I have a big Nike sneaker box for the taller dropper bottles I use along with my other brands that are taller.

Blutac works wonders.

Back when I was an apartment dweller and used to do mobile modeling down at the FLGS I had a plastic toolbox similar to this one with all the small hobby tools in the top, larger hobby tools/brushes/glues in the pull-out tray and all my paints in the bottom, separated into sandwich baggies by colors (all reds in a baggie, all browns in a baggie, all washes in a baggie etc). Worked really well for many years, I could keep it in the trunk of my car and had everything I needed to build and paint right there with me or bring it inside and set it up on the kitchen table.

Nowadays I do all my hobbying at home and have a dedicated hobby desk in my room with lamps and airbrush and shelves for paint etc, but if you don't have that luxury I would heartily recommend whatever $20ish toolbox you find down at your local Wal-Mart/Target/Home Depo and some ziplock sandwich baggies.
