Building a Man Cave: 1:1 Terrain
Paiiint Rack is a Little Old Place Where, Paints are Kept Tooogetheeeerrrr! Paint Rack, Bayyybeee!
The first construction project for the new room is a paint rack. I recently bought the Complete Set of Army Painter Fanatic paints, and I need somewhere to keep them. I also have an odd-shaped bit of wall which is perfect for the job.
I saw something like this on the Army Painter fan page on Facebook, and thought I would give it a go.
The components were:
3x Ikea Skadis peg boards (76x56cm)
6x packs of nail polish racks (15 inch)
72x M4 nuts and bolts (12mm and 16mm both work fine)
My original plan was to use the separately purchasable connectors for the Skadis boards, and hang them all from one bracket drilled into the wall, but in the end I didn’t use the connectors. I hung all three separately using their own wall brackets. It was super easy to line them up, and the weight would be spread out more, rather than relying on one bracket to hold the whole thing up. Much safer!
I bolted the nail polish racks to the boards, using a bottle of paint to help get the spacing right. (Per the above, the connector visible in this picture was later removed and not used).
The finished rack!
