PaintPal Studio consists of stackable and configurable 3D printable storage racks that clip together using the popular OpenLOCK clipping system. Each core rack is made up of five paint pot modules that clip into the structural frames. The paint modules are designed both flip-top and dropper bottles and cover a wide range of popular brands. Best of all, the racks can be raised by attaching a pair of riser drawer frames which allow the original PaintPal Travel Hobby System trays to slide in and work as storage trays.

The PaintPal Studio Core Rack in its simplest form

The core rack assembly with drawer riser and rear frames allowing a storage tray to slide in.

The core rack uses 2 main components - a set of two triangular structural frames and a selection of paint pot modules. You can add a pair of drawer risers to the triangular structural frames to allow for storage trays and also a set of rear structural frames with a variety of tray options but these aren’t essential to the functionality of the core rack.

It’s extremely modular and customisable to your needs. It’s easy to mix and match your brands and paint types. Each core paint module is made up of three slots, but larger options are supplied, which can take 18ml flip-top pots, 17ml dropper bottles and 22ml dropper bottles. The main support frames also have a built-in slot to hold smaller dropper bottles too allowing you to utilise all the space in a given rack.

A whole host of storage options are available for tools, brushes, bases, models and more by attaching the riser frames. This enables the underneath space to be used for drawers and trays including the PaintPal Travel System trays. There’s also an extra optional support frame that can be attached to the rear of the main paint rack and adds extra storage for larger paint bottles, glue bottles, tools and more.

Well that’s entirely up to how much space you have to work with. Each core rack will hold a minimum of 15 Citadel sized pots or dropper sized bottles, as well as 10 side mounted smaller dropper bottles. So you’re looking at 25 bottles more or less, but, the top rear rack has options for 6 more paints. 

That being said, the core rack can use any of the 3, 4, or 5 pot modules, so you could have a rack holding 45 paints plus the top rack. It totally depends on how you want to set up the core rack and it grows with you and your hobby progress. You can also use a mix of either flip-top modules and dropper modules.

If you use the Dropper Modules instead of flip-top bottles then each core rack will fit a minimum of 20 dropper bottles, as well as 10 side mounted smaller dropper bottles. When expanded horizontally using either the Dropper x6 and Dropper x8, you can fit 30 and 40 bottles respectively.

Most major brands of miniature paints will fit in the core modules including:

• Citadel
• Vallejo
• The Army Painter
• AK Interactive
• ProAcryl
• P3
• Scale 75
• Green Stuff World
• Two Thin Coats
• Reaper
• Darkstar
• Instar Paints
