Bucasso model kit tool storage rack GK8 — MDF paint organiser for 50 small bottles, two slide-out tiers

The Bucasso GK8 is a compact MDF model kit tool storage rack that holds up to 50 small paint bottles with two slide-out tiers for easy access and tidy organization.

This handcrafted-style MDF organiser is built specifically for model builders and hobby painters who need a small, high-capacity solution for 10 ml paint bottles such as Tamiya enamel and acrylics. Its two-tier design separates 23 mm and 30 mm diameter bottles, slides outward for quick access, and can be combined with matching Bucasso GK-series units to expand storage across a workbench.

How much paint can the GK8 hold and how is it arranged?

The GK8 fits a total of 50 small bottles: 30 slots sized for 23 mm diameter (lower drawer) and 20 slots sized for 30 mm diameter (upper drawer). The drawers pull out and tilt slightly for easier reach so you can grab and return colours without displacing other supplies.

• Lower tier: 30 x 23 mm slots for 10 ml enamel bottles.
• Upper tier: 20 x 30 mm slots for 10 ml acrylic bottles.
• Compact footprint: 30 cm long × 15 cm wide × 15 cm high.
• Slide-out, tilt-down drawers for fast access.

What materials and build quality does the organiser use?

GK8 is laser-cut from medium-density fiberboard (MDF), offering consistent density and a smooth finish that accepts paint, wax, or stickers. The mortise-and-tenon assembly gives solid joints once fitted together, and the material is recyclable and stable for workshop use.

• MDF panels with smooth cross-sections and faces.
• Mortise-and-tenon design for tight, reliable joints.
• Surface ready for finishing—wax oil, paint, or decals.
• Durable under normal hobby bench conditions.

Is assembly difficult and can units be combined?

The GK8 is shipped as a flat-pack kit with illustrated instructions; basic sanding and careful tapping with a hammer are recommended for best fit. Multiple GK-series models share the same dimensions and mortise connections so you can link two or more units into a longer rack or customised storage wall.

• Step-by-step diagrams included for straightforward assembly.
• Sand joint edges lightly before final fitting to avoid splinters.
• Compatible with other GK models for modular layouts.
• DIY-friendly: assembly gives a satisfying hands-on result.

What precautions and maintenance should I know about?

The laser-cut wood edges can be a little sharp—sanding reduces risk and improves appearance. Natural colour and minor surface blemishes are typical of MDF and not defects; you can finish surfaces to hide inconsistencies and increase durability.

• Sand sharp edges before handling or finishing.
• Assemble parts in the order shown to ensure stable joints.
• Minor scratches or colour variation are normal for MDF.
• Contact Bucasso support for any missing or damaged parts.

Who is this for: The Bucasso GK8 is ideal for scale modelers, miniature painters, and hobbyists with limited bench space who collect many small 10 ml paints and want a neat, expandable system. It suits builders who enjoy low-complexity assembly and prefer a material surface they can finish themselves, and anyone who needs a reliable, stackable paint solution that keeps frequently used colours within arm's reach.
