I made mine out of cardboard. Tomorrow I will use tape to fasten a plastic bag inside the paint brush holder that I Gorilla taped to the side of the box package I got in the mail. I had to cut a box in half and tape the two halves together so the resulting box would keep the paint brushes upright.

Feast your eyes on THIS::

My space is a small basement storage room I repurposed. It has been mostly a catch all for random stuff that needs fixed or other small projects. Occasionally some plastic modeling gets done. My stash is mostly in the cupboards below. I have recently been going through and replacing dried up supplies. Now that the kids are almost full grown, I'm trying to get back to the bench some more. I tend to model in spurts when I get into it. So long times in between sessions with life, the universe and everything getting in the way.
 
So, as mentioned elsewhere, during the pandemic, I set up shop in a repurposed kitchen (part of our renovations of an old victorian property which had been subdivided into 3 apartments).
We ripped out the old cabinets (you should see what my wife can do with a 48" wreking bar!), narrowed the room to add space to an adjoining bathroom, then installed newer, salvaged cabinets from another unit that would fit.
As there was a hole in the wall where the stove used to be, kept that to install a hood.
Removed several layers of vinyl and disintegrating linoleum, now it is an even colored painted floor that still manages to eat PE and styrene!
Now it is my comfort place, a refuge from distressing realities, my time machine where I will forever be 12 years old!

The network/printer server closet still not finished (maybe this winter?), as the 'interim' mesh WIFI network has been doing the job!

... my cheaters, and a drawer each for: found materials, putties and filler, ropes and chains, wheels and accessories, left over and scavenged decals, LRDG and SAS figures, radios and crates,
General stowage, assorted MGs (never too many for my SAS & LRDG buddies!).

Thought i would share my workspace. I forgot to mention in the video dont toss all your empty ammunition boxes, the plastic bullet carrier makes a great hand tool storage. Also your 9mm and 357 brass fits perfectly in the holes for taller tools to keep them from tipping, and colored markers fit holes perfectly as well. Video below.


I bought a new paint shelf 105 holes from amazon.
