PROSCALE Universal Paint Organizer Rack for Miniatures Modeling Paint Holder for all kind of Bottles + Brush/Tool Slots Compatible with Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, Tamiya (Module B) Review (2026)

Updated September 14, 2026 · Research-based review

Our verdict

PROSCALE's Module B rack uses flat, hole-free shelves rather than drilled bottle holes, built for oddly shaped paint pots, glues, pigments and varnishes that do not fit standard racks, plus brush and tool slots. It ships as an MDF kit you assemble with wood glue, a fair trade for mixed paint collections but extra setup time.

Who this organizer rack is for

This rack suits model builders and miniature painters whose paint collection mixes brands and bottle shapes, since it does not rely on a single drilled hole diameter that only fits one brand's pot. If your shelf holds a combination of Citadel pots, Vallejo dropper bottles, Army Painter and Tamiya jars alongside oddly shaped items like glue, pigments and varnish, a flat-shelf design has an easier time holding all of it than a rack drilled for one bottle size. It is less suited to someone who wants the highest bottle density in the smallest footprint, since drilled racks generally pack more same-size bottles into the same shelf space.

How the flat-shelf design and materials work

Module B is built from 3mm MDF and ships as a flat-pack kit with visual assembly instructions, and the manufacturer recommends wood glue for maximum strength rather than relying on friction-fit joints alone. Unlike PROSCALE's own drilled racks, this module uses flat shelves with no holes, which the maker positions specifically for technical products, glues, pigments, varnishes and other special-shaped bottles that do not sit well in a drilled slot. Brush and tool slots are built into the design so hobby knives, brushes and small tools have a dedicated spot rather than rolling around loose on an open shelf next to wet paint bottles.

Assembling it and using it on the bench

Because it arrives as unassembled MDF panels, plan on set-up time with wood glue before it holds any weight, and let the glue cure fully before loading it with full paint bottles to avoid stressing the joints. Once built, it is designed as part of a modular PROSCALE system, meaning you can add further modules in the same product line as your paint collection grows rather than replacing the whole unit later on. Being made in Spain from MDF rather than plastic, it is sturdier than snap-together plastic racks but also heavier, so plan its final position on the bench or shelf before gluing every panel into place, since moving a fully loaded rack afterward is awkward.

How it compares with drilled paint racks from other brands

Plydolex's wooden organizers, which offer 74 or more drilled holes sized for Vallejo, Citadel and Tamiya bottles plus dedicated brush holes and drawers, hold more same-size bottles per shelf but are less forgiving of odd-shaped containers than this flat-shelf module. PROSCALE's own wall-mounted Module A and drilled variants serve the same brands but through fixed-diameter holes, so if your collection is mostly one bottle size, a drilled PROSCALE or Plydolex rack may hold more in the same footprint. This module's advantage is flexibility across bottle shapes rather than maximum density.

Verdict: a flexible pick for mixed paint collections

For a mixed collection of brands and bottle shapes, including awkward glue and pigment containers that will not sit in a drilled hole, this module earns its place in this guide and our score of 8.4 out of 10 through flexibility rather than raw bottle count. If your paints are mostly one brand and one bottle size, a drilled rack like the Plydolex options or a PROSCALE hole-based module will likely hold more bottles in the same shelf space, so choose based on how uniform your current paint collection actually is before committing bench or wall space to either style of rack.
