Dropper-bottle paints — Vallejo, Army Painter, AK Interactive, Reaper — are brilliant to paint with and terrible to store. They're tall, they're narrow, the labels face every direction, and a collection quietly grows from ten bottles to a hundred. This guide compares every dropper-bottle rack we make, so you can pick the right one for your bench in about two minutes.
| Rack | Capacity | Where it lives | Drawer | Best for | Price (AUD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paint Rack 35 | 35 droppers | Desk | 2 hidden magnetic drawers | First collections, tight desks | $39.99 |
| Paint Rack 60 | 60 droppers | Desk | 1 hidden magnetic drawer | The all-rounder — most popular | $49.99 |
| Wall Rack 38 | 38 droppers | Wall (3 keyholes) | Hidden drawer | Zero bench space used | $49.99 |
| Paint Carousel 57 | 57 droppers | Desk (rotating) | — | Corner placement, spin to reach | $69.99 |
| Combo 98 | 98 droppers | Desk | 1 hidden magnetic drawer | Big collections in one footprint | $89.99 |
Desk racks (Paint Rack 35, Paint Rack 60) are the default: paints at arm's reach, drawers underneath for tools. Go 35 if your collection is young or your desk is small; go 60 if you already own more than about 30 bottles — collections only grow.
The Wall Rack 38 holds 38 droppers on the wall with a hidden drawer, hangs on three keyhole slots, and uses zero bench space. Bottles sit in deep angled seats so they stay put. It also takes the same riser add-on on top. If your desk is already fighting for space, this is the one.
The rotating Carousel holds 57 bottles in a spinning column — park it in a corner that a straight rack can't use and spin the colour you need to the front.
Every desk rack in the family shares the same Pin-Canal accessory system — the clip-on Brush Holder snaps onto any rack, and the Riser stacks a three-shelf gallery on top of Paint Rack 60. Start with one rack; extend it when the paint pile wins (it always wins).
Vallejo Model & Game Color, Army Painter Warpaints and AK Interactive bottles all fit — the seats are sized for the standard dropper bottle the major ranges share.
Yes — every rack is 3D printed to order in Melbourne in your choice of colour, then shipped Australia-wide.
Yes. The Riser Display Stand adds 38 bottles on top of Paint Rack 60 (that combination is the 98-bottle Combo), and the wall rack accepts a riser on top as well. The clip-on Brush Holder fits any rack in the family.
Rigid PLA as standard. Colour options vary by model — each listing shows the current palette.
Up to 98 on a single footprint — that's Paint Rack 60 with the Riser Display Stand on top (sold together as the Combo). The biggest single rack without the riser is the 60.
Paint Rack 35 — 35 droppers plus two hidden magnetic drawers for brushes and clippers, and it's the smallest footprint in the range. If you're short on bench space entirely, the Wall Rack 38 gets all of it off the desk.
