atkelar | Workshop Project #5 - Model Paint Rack @atkelar | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Something "quick" in between other projects...
Over the last years, I gathered some plastic model kits that cought my eye as either interesting or challenging. I want to build them eventually, so I asked around in my Telegram channel - https://t.me/TinkeringWithAtkelar - about whether it would fit my content to have an occasional "Model Kit Build" video. These would be short videos with basically some nice "step-by-step" timelapse footage and the typical comment about especially difficult parts.
The last time I built something like this was about two years ago, when I finally got around to the "Hindenburg" model I got some 10 years ago. And before that, I think, was in the early 1990s. Naturally, my paint can collection needed some tune up. Surprisingly enough, most of them still were good. But to properly store them (upside down) and still find the correct paint can by number and color shade, I decided that I just couldn't live without a proper paint rack that would defy gravity!
I used OpenSCAD to parameterize the rack in order to try out different sizes.
Please feel free to provide feedback in the comment section!
I also have a KoFe account: ko-fi.com/atkelar - support recording of my tinkering if you enjoy watching!
