Ammo by Mig paint rack

Post by ForbesHutton »

So this arrived on Monday:

from:

Containing:

Image

The jars are chipping fluid, white paint and washable white paint. I have a winter camo project in the future and I not decided on which method I would use, so I covered all the bases since it wasn't going to add to the shipping costs.

The main purchase:

Image

Plenty of pieces but no instructions. Nothing. Not a single sheet of paper in the box. You have to use the photo on the box to figure it out ( and people complain about Ikea...). Some PVA glue and a couple of brad nails were what I used. Tip: get a friend to help, or better yet hire an octopus, getting all the slats in to both sides at the same time is a challenge.

Resulting in:

Image

To fit the Tamiya jars each hole has to be opened about 2mm all the way around. Not a big deal with a sanding drum in a Dremel tool, but very dusty.

Holds 45 jars in total. The rack was 18 euro and shipping was the same to Canada.

They're not cheaper mate, no where near it. They are made by the same people, but these (AMMO) only cost €18 dirt cheap.....

Do these paint racks fit Gunze Sangyo paint jars, or do you have to Thin them out?

I don't have any Gunze jars so I don't know. The look about the same as Tamiya. If you have a rotary tool (i.e. Dremel) it only takes a couple of seconds to open up each one the couple of millimeters needed (it does lead to a lot of wood dust :cry: ).

Hi,
Just going to put my 2 cents in.

has anyone considered that storing jars like this causes the paint level to touch the inside lids and you may get a drying effect so that when opening the pots dry crusty paint drops back in. Or am I misinterpreting the angle from photo's supplied.
Listen and appear wise
