Every rack, photographed
Real photos of the printed racks from each listing — no renders. The SKÅDIS shelf is shown in its Citadel Edition; the dropper edition has the same 160 mm body with 15 smaller wells.
Desk, wall or rotating — which one?
Desk racks are the default: Paint Rack 60 puts 60 bottles on four staggered tiers with a magnetic drawer underneath, and Combo 98 adds the Riser Display Stand on the same footprint when the collection grows. The flat-pack Paint Rack Tower goes vertical instead — up to 68 paints on a desk corner, slotted together by hand.
Wall: Paint Rack 38 is only 122 mm deep, stands on the desk or hangs on three keyhole slots, and keeps a full-width wedge drawer for brushes. The SKÅDIS Paint Shelf clicks onto an IKEA SKÅDIS pegboard with no drilling.
Rotating: the Paint Carousel 57 spins 57 droppers in a 32 cm circle, so a corner that no straight rack can use holds the lot and every bottle comes to the front.
Still unsure? The 30-second rack finder asks three questions and names one.
How big are they? Small to large
Four of the desk racks photographed the same way, so the step up in size is easy to see. Each one is the finished print as it arrives.
Where else can I buy a Vallejo paint rack in Melbourne?
Melbourne hobby and model shops, and the big online marketplaces, stock the Vallejo-branded display racks and MDF flat-pack rack kits. They are a fair option if you want something off a shelf today. Ours differ in three ways: they are 3D printed as finished, rigid parts (the single-piece racks arrive ready to use, the towers slot together by hand without glue, screws or clamps), every well is sized to the dropper bottle so bottles sit at an angle with the label facing you, and the range is modular — a riser gallery, clip-on brush holder and under-drawers fit the same racks later. They are also made here, so a custom size or colour is a message away.
