Think you can buff that out?

 So the Spartan is almost done, I have a few more details to clean up and I might tone down the white streaking a little. I think it's a little more then I'd like but I keep going back and forth on it haha.. I don't know. I have some camo netting I might try to use but this weekend I realized it's only about 3.5 months to Nova. That might not seem like it's close but I got a lot to do haha
 It's glued together now and the LAS are Mag'd..
 The stacks are heavy sooted..
 The tracks are heavily weathered and chipped.. I did glint up the edges a bit which might need a little more. Again.. I'm back and forth haha

 Added some weathering to the AdMech.. didn't realize the light was all up in the picture .. whoops 8) .. I also started on the liquid in the vials up on top of his back. I'll probably concentrate on getting him wrapped up.
 What is this! A Death Guard guy? Don't worry.. it's just poor goon that got torn in half when he stepped up to the Raven Guard Dreadnaught .. 8) .. the Dread will be carrying him in his right hand. I need to find a spine of some sort if anyone has seen a model out there let me know. I also need a Space Marine out of armour .. Part of the display stuff I'm working on. So if you have any leads let me know.

 The last part of the post is my new paint setup. I've been working on these displays for a while and they are done. I've wanted to have a modular paint rack with removable trays to hold all of my damn paints. I know I have too much but hey.. what can you do..
 The trays are completely removable and can be placed at different heights.
 I also made the thin drawers as well as the larger ones at the bottom like my tiered design. This is two of the racks side by side and it holds all my paint with a ton of room to spare! Boooyah ..

I've been telling some people about it and they asked me to post up some pictures. We are going to put a new Kickstarter for this Rack and some other racks plus a bit box solution. So .. I'll post up the link when it goes live ..

Presentation is the key..

 I finished up the Tiered Paint Rack design and made the different cuts for the different sized bottles. As I mostly use Golden and Vallejo paints now  I made a mixed shelf for both. Greg has been throwing me ideas as I've been making these designs and he was crying .. um.. I mean mentioning the lack of ability to hold the clippers or larger tools. So to stop his cries I meant listening to his wonderful recommendations 8)..
 I wanted to keep the rack pretty compact so figured a good way would be to add a small shelf with two trays that would sit underneath the paint rack. That way you don't need the bottom tray if you don't want it and/or it can be added later if you would then need it. The paint rack just slides into bottom section.
 It's two drawers that can holds your clippers or tools that don't fit in the back which is for brushes, files.. or things of a long thin shape... urm .. only hobby related things in that shape. But ..  anyway.. I had a piece of foam paper that I cut to use a a liner which worked very well. I'll have to head back to Michaels for another .. they are only 60 cents a sheet or something ..  you don't need it but MDF is a little slickery so this keeps some of those tools in place.

I'm really happy with the outcome and this one is pretty much done. I made some mods to the larger modular racks but I haven't had a chance to cut them to see if they work the way I want. That rack is more of a storage rack that holds all your over flow. This is designed to be more of a main paint/tool rack. I already have a few friends that have seen it and so far everyone seems to like it.

Below are just the rack and a the larger cut holes..
