Ben Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The nice chaps over at Hobbyzone.pl sent me this paint station to test out. It arrived couple of weeks ago but I only just had time to put it together. I expected it to take all evening but it only actually took around 20 mins. I'll be doing a full review once its had some use but heres my pics so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 You can get one here - http://www.hobbyzone.pl/en/tables-for-painting/18-professional-paint-station.html They cost £25 and you can choose which bottle types you want holes for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm a massive fan of the Hobbyzone product range, I've got 4 paint wall-racks (though I do need to expand it). Quick delivery (bearing in mind it comes from Poland), excellent price, good construction and looks really smart. One of the big criticisms I have from laser cut mdf is that it looks shabby with burned edges, Hobbyzone's products don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Got to agree, I've got 6 of their modular pieces and they're really nice. Flexible setup (magnetised) Easy to put together (you just need wood glue) Durable Quickly delivered Well priced The company has good customer service Going to get more in the future certainly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangermouse425 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Chucking in my 2p worth here: I've got three HZ paint racks, 2 for Citadel, 1 for Vallejo. They're great. Easily to assemble, durable and great value. Not only that, but delivery is quick and hassle-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 This was given to me for review, but I approached Hobbyzone because I saw them as being the best. I am not disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 My friend bought this last week. He said it shipped quickly, was easy to put together and a sensible use of space. Also, he sprayed one half of the bottom board black and the other half white. This is so he can test colour/tone against them before applying to model.

WoollyMammoth Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Organization is for knaves! Real men paint hunched over an unorganized box of paints on a ruined desk. How do citadel paints fit in it? How many can it hold? Lets see an action pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticgoblin Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Almost bought myself lipstick holder, same size as Vallejo bottles, but those are much nicer Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks for sharing. I would be interested to see how many paints it holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I have loads of the hobby zone set up on a nice desk in the spare room but I nearly always huddle over a box in the living room so I can hang out with the Mrs whilst painting!

Dez Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'd looked at their stuff before, I think I'll do so again. I'm thinking shipping to the US and the amount of stuff I need threw me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoollyMammoth Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 @Ben Nice. Can you pick it up and move it around from room to room easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netrixx Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Recently picked up the Large Paint Station myself, really great stuff. Can move it around easily, need to get it out of the sunlight shining through my window from time to time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 I can walk down the stairs carrying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I have this exact model. I didn't add the flappy wing bits and they just got in the way. I did, however, nail in the bottom piece as I was nervous of carrying it around and the bottom falling off. Overall it's a fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dez Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'm currently looking to redo my whole work area with these. My wife is worried that they don't seem very sturdy or that the bottles would fall out if the shelves were moved. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 They are very sturdy, and the paint pots are secure. Unless you tip/tilt it they won't fall out. I had issues with the bottom, thinking that using only glue would not be strong enough. So I used small nails, to ensure it stays there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Another question, do you think it would support my iMac? It weighs 21 pounds (9.54kg). In particular, I think this piece may work http://www.hobbyzone.pl/en/modular-workshop-system/44-om04-corner-shelves-module.html I like to watch YouTube and movies while I paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
