Would you happen to be looking for these items and can't find them

Did my wife pay you? Heh, that little corner of the garage must serve as man-cave, storage, and ... well, okay so I'm not too organized.

Can't find the missing link - but that's why he's missing - right?

my little workbench:

[Calimero]

Nice and tidy SirAlban… I must add that despite the odours of paint and glue, I never feel the urge to put on a gasmask while I’m painting

[SirAlban]

The gasmask is a souvenir from my honeymoon in Budapest

My wife painted me a mushroom...

[gamer Mac]

Very original shelving

[rob_the_robgoblin]

I like the mushroom, I'd ruin it though!

Not enough paints for my liking... 

[The Dozing Dragon]

I like the shelving......much tidier than my current system!

I love this thread.  I get a slightly perverse kick out of seeing all of these places from all over the world where all of you guys get up to more or less what I do.

Add to that that I have traded figures with some of the people here and I might even see some figures that used to be mine.  Weird.

My contribution:



I paint in the living room, often while watching TV with my wife.   The TV distracts me and slows down my output. On the other hand being able to paint in the room with her helps with my ongoing "marriage" project while still allowing me to to make some progress with post-apoc project, zombie project, pulp sci-fi project etc.

The purple drawers are filled with paints, flock, sand and other related paraphenalia.

The area is deliberately small so that I am forced to tidy it up regularly and because as it lives in a "grown up" part of the house it needs to be kept relatively unobtrusive.

This is view out of the window on the left of the painting area, just to give where I live some context. 








I only paint in the living room.  Figure preparation, terrain building, messy jobs like sanding resin and anything else like it takes place in the dedicated "toy room" downstairs.  Its where all of my dork stuff lives and where boardgames and figure games get played too.



Its quite large room (a little smaller than 6 x 4m ) but its a bit untidy at the moment.  I am currently kitbashing a few models from bits and pieces which always tends to be messy as I search for bits/ispiration.

I try to keep on top of it and to tidy it regularly. Unfortunatley my whimsical and easily distracted nature means that I tend to have an idea and then enthusiastically make a mess on top of an existing mess a bit too frequently.  The toy room is scheduled to get a tidy up tomorrow, but this is how the room regularly looks.

At least I get to leave things that I am working on out.  When I was renting I used to find having to set up and then take down the area each time very demoralising.  Not these days

Mum! I'm going to play at Cheetor's house!

...And staying for tea.


...Egg and chips....


Awwww, mum! 

[cheetor]

Mum! I'm going to play at Cheetor's house!

Any time JollyBob.  From what I have seen of your contributions around here I am sure that our interests (anthropomorphic monkeys, drunken dilettantes, ancient Egypt) are compatible enough for us to remain civil for an afternoon

...Egg and chips....

Tell your mum that you can have fish-fingers and Smash if you prefer.  AND Angel Delight!




Anyway, moving away from 1980s dinners-in-friends-houses and back on the subject of workbenches...

Any paint spillage issues in the living room that may derail the "marriage" project.

I like the ideas as I keep getting... some flack... from disappearing in to the work room/office/toy room/spare room.

The living room has a wooden floor so that can be wiped clean if I manage to fling paint on it.  So no problems there as yet.  The chair that I paint in is dedicated to purpose.  As a result if I manage to get a significant amount of paint on it then thats not the end of the world either.

Its what I have done since we moved in together, a long time ago.  It definitely has had an adverse effect on the number of figures that I get painted.  In balance it has helped with harmonious co-habitation overall for us I think.
