Recently while surfing the Site I read a report/review complete with photos of a two tier paint storage rack produced by some company in the U.K. which was produced using laser cutting to match paint bottle sizes. I've searched high and low today and can not re-locate it.Can anyone point me in the right direction? (or am I confused and actually saw it on one of the other sites?)
Thanks,
Lance

OOPS!!!
I'll now provide an answer to my own question!
I found it: It's on Brit Modeller, article by Greg B (Cheeky Monkee) Outstanding looking product from Progressive Engineering. Made of MDF. I may try to build my own version however thought it might be of interest to others; will post a quick update note on Stephen's Thread on Work Bench hints, Mikael, take a look as it's probably a good solution for your paint storage challenge.

Cheers,
Lance

Those are very nice paint racks! Make a good addition to the workbench!

I am quite "taken" by the concept as well. I wonder if some staff member could move this over to Stephen's Work Space tips 101 Thread? I suspect the info may be of interest to many of our group.

Cheers,

I moved this from the Early Aviation to the General Aviation modeling forum as it is good for every modeler to consider.

Hi there,

just thought I'd introduce myself having seen your excellent comments about our paintracks.

http://www.progeng.co.uk/paints-and-brushes#!__paint-racks

I am responsible for the design and manufacture of these as well as being a keen figure modeller. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

Many thanks.

Jon Page
