Putting together the Warlord Games Large Paint Rack, a review. The instructions missed a bit!

Many years ago I got the Warlord Large Paint Rack. Now I need somewhere to keep all my paints and brushes instead of an old GW citadel project box. The GW one seems to no longer exist, or at least the horrible no good bad GW web site (which is impossible to navigate) seems to no longer list it. It IS handy as it's portable but won't fit all the army painter paints I have currently.

I just needed wood glue and some tissues to remove excess glue.

One piece broke off that didn't matter, and I broke one of the side brush stations but it's connected in many places so should be OK. I broke it when I was test fitting a piece and stopped trying to fit things. Uh oh.

The big mistake I made was the instructions say the BOTTOM level is blank, but does not say the TOP one is blank too. So I glued the wrong one right at the top. It shouldn't matter much though, but it was annoying to find that out at the end.

Review: 

The instructions weren't clear at the start and I put one part in the wrong place. Beyond that it's ok. I just hope it's strong enough for all my Army Painter paints.
 
Apart from breaking 2 pieces and the one unclear instruction, it was fun to put together and a lot easier than trying to get plastic (or oh god metal) figures together. I would like to get some MDF North Africa campaign buildings and do them too. 

8/10.




Tipped sideways. The bottom most layer is the wrong one and should have been the 2nd blank one.


The very top one should have been swapped with the 2nd top one. The top one has two notches for the base plate with holes in it, but I missed that in the diagram :(
