Custom made rack for paint bottles

I decided to expand my existing set of Vallejo paints by purchasing a new set from Army Painter at a great price. When the set arrived, it became obvious I will need to find a new way to organize all my paints. The commercially available racks seemed to be both expensive and taking up too much space, and I have therefore opted to build one myself, using some basic materials sitting around the house for my diorama projects. 2 hours later, I cant be happier from the result. Here are few pictures from the process, and the final product.

Paul, thank you for your comment, follow button added :-). Your work has been huge inspiration, I have learned so much and was probably the greatest motivation for me to get into diorama.

Phil, thank you for your comments, I am very happy to have discovered your blog, which is a great resource. Is is especially helpful because I have 800 Napoleonic soldiers waiting on me to paint them for my upcoming Leipzig battle.

Bunratty Castle inspired medieval diorama

Image
It was love at first site the moment I laid my eyes on Bunratty castle during my holiday in Ireland. I was excited as a kid roaming around all the rooms, narrow staircases and corridors that connected with other parts of the castle in a way that seemed impossible. Right then I knew that a new diorama project was waiting for me back home. Six months later, the diorama is already taking shape while I continue to work on the remaining finishing touches.  The diorama is done in 1/72 scale, on a 2ft*4ft (60cm*120cm) board. It is a glorious time at the castle. The local Bishop is visiting to bless the church that is under construction. He is flanked by strong retinue of men at arms and a knight. The workers at the church are hard at work on erecting the walls, and the castle blacksmith is outfitting the solders for an upcoming sortie in the nearby forrest. Everything happens under the watchful eyes of the castle guards.

American Civil War Diorama

Image
As many enthusiasts, I got bit carried away and taken as my first project a large-scale diorama from the American Civil War with proportions of 6*4 feet (2-1.2 meters). The diorama is in 1/72 scale.     The diorama is inspired by the Gettysburg battle, depicting several scenes of battle with various level of intensity, including - what I hope it is - a dramatic hand to hand combat. Although I have consulted historic record, the diorama is not intended to be historically accurate. For the project I have used model soldiers from Imex, Revell and Italieri, which I have also customized to create casualties or more interesting poses. In total, I have used more than 300 soldiers, 20 cavalry and 12 guns with crew. This is only my first project, and I am continuing to learn more from your blogs and good work.

Caesar Roman Legionary Set II

Image
This is my first completed set for the Battle of Alesia Diorama. I have painted all 12 poses from the Caesar Roman Legionary Set II . The details on these bods are exceptional, and it was a pleasure to paint them. I left the bases unpainted because I will remove them when placing the soldiers on the diorama.
