    Same here and I have transferred 5 pots so far, so much better for airbrush work and actual mixing etc.

    Dont remember which I got, other than it is supposed to be for "medical" use or something like that, as they have "children lock" on the lids. Though have not noticed the issue you mention with them yet.

    Don't worry gents I've not forgotten about this. Currently burning the third drawer, and in the meantime here's some prototype labels.

    And that's all four normal sizes done! Now onto the design for the bottom drawer, I've got some ideas I'll be sharing soon.

    Hey all! Forgive me absence, juggling my degree and my other myriad of occupations leaves me with a sparse time ration for the hobby. Here's a little design for the bottom drawer: I'm trying to go for a sort of stylised sun/comet flame trail thingy that you see a lot on classic Warhammer Fantasy art and books, though at the moment it looks more like tentacles for some reason. Any thoughts?

    May have gone over the top with that sun concept...

    Well, here's the finished thing until I get round to the side patterns. Though I stress now that that's a 'come back to it later' thing, right now I have exam revision and other projects, and I kind of need a break with this thing anyway.

    Very cool; it turned out great! Definitely worth the time and effort you invested in it.

    Thank you! Now that it's all done and all the paints are organised and tidy, I can actually sit down and do some painting! For some reason my brain just refused to do any until the drawers were finished.

    Hey again. As time goes on I'm staying true to my word of adding little bits and pieces to the drawers. For example I've just finished a set of 189 labels for the paint pot recesses, so I can tell what is supposed to go where if paints have been removed. I've uploaded the complete collection as a .rar if any of you fancy using them in your own projects, and will be uploading the laid-out printing sheets when those are finished.

    If anybody spots any issues or has any suggestions please let me know.

    UPDATE: Well that took me a lot less time than I had anticipated: the printout sheet PDFs are attached below. For reference each label is sized at the diameter of a pot of Citadel paint (3.25cm).

    I always liked this map, this was a very good quality rendition. Very gritty, like it has been well worn.

    It's good right? I will probably have to simplify the shit out of it to make it feasible, however.

    Oh, and here's some progress. I've stained the inside of the top drawer and added the relevant labels. Have a few photos why don't you:

    Thought I'd forgotten about this? No way, every drawer has had the inside varnished and labelled.
