Your Painting Area!

[Valmont]

Some of these painting areas are stunningly organized. I'll put up pictures later, but I definitely fall into the messier studios.

I will take a photo however my other halves cat is with us for a couple of weeks so my little office area is shut up to ensure said mog doesn't find anything to chomp on the floor... Currently just using my paint lap tray thing

We've been adopted by a cat, which visits us regularly to stock up on food and a warm place to sleep (Spare Bed Quilt).
She's taken one look in the "MANCAVE" , mewed and completely refused to go in.

I think mine falls into the neater category, though I have recently rearranged it.

I don't have a workspace.Usually I am forced to work when ever or where ever I can around the house which means carrying things from one room to another when I want to work on anything and storage of paints etc in a box when i'm not so nobody gets hold of anything.Really must get more sorted soon as a roving lifestyle seems not to suit this budding miniature painter.Poor light also causes me to move about a lot,so a stable and perminant place to paint will be a great advantage especially if I can sort out some sort of lighting which will enable longer hours working with the minatures.

I'm lucky enough to have enough room to spread out a bit. One space for modeling, one for painting, and a separate airbrushing station. The workbench and painting hutch are are opposite each other and easy for me to roll between the two in my roll around office chair. I need to redo the racks in the doors for my paints though, not enough room.

I got to expand mine a bit:

[terroroy]

that is an awesome setup man!

 

[McDeath]

Some really nice stations here!

 

[StillLifeMiniatures]

This is an older picture of my area. The only difference is that I have a new laptop now and behind where I'm standing, I have a second desk that holds a spray booth and a bunch of old models and random stuff. I also have a much better lamp than the two that are in the picture. I can't find more recent pictures for some reason.

First off, LOVE Sukigod's cabinet setup. I fall into the OCD painter category myself so everything has to be in its proper place.

My new painting station arrived the other day so here's my new setup. I'm hoping this will keep the chaos to a minimum... but you can be quite sure that this is the most organized it will ever be.

I have a 11 month old, so my paint set up is my paint station, it lives on top of the book shelf and comes down when I need it

 

[jason]

here's my little hole I keep all the supplies in large plastic boxes in the cupboard

I love you people and love seeing how you set things up - I hope to get things that organized in time. For now, here's my little desk.

 

[10 ball]

You all have some great setups. Lucky lot! Lack of room at chateau la 10 ball means this is what im use to -
Note the homemade paint station (lack of wonga)

I have too big of a house now, so I have crap spread all over. I'm guessing the wife will make me consolidate when the little KruleBear cub shows up in January, but here is what I have so far:

In the upper right hand corner is my original Painting desk that has traveled everywhere I've lived (except the college dorm). To the right are cases and filing cabinets of unpainted minis--errrr---valuable investments dear :doh: To the left are to mission style tables butted together I lift the end leaves up and have a nice big gaming surface. So far this has been mostly Axis and Allies, some old school Space Hulk, and a bit of Settlers (of course now it is covered with more semi painted mini's and a sewing machine).

In the other corner of this room is my old computer desk that has more unpainted mini's and unpainted games manuals.

Recently spread out into the other room with my efforts at building a base for my Ogre mini and my light box.

As of the past 6 months most of my painting takes place in front of the easy chair. This allows me to paint, chat with the wife while she knits and/or watches television. Rolling cart to my left with the paints and gear. A general purpose light above me and a natural light on an articulated arm I can put right over the mini. I use a lap tray from Walmart (has a green cutting mat on it in the lower left of the photo). and I keep my paint pallet wet in a piece of tupperware on the coffee table to may right between painting nights. This set up has actually worked out very well.

Below is my display cabinet. The bottom four shelves contain my miniature farm equipment--need to get more mini's painted for the top shelf.

I also have gaming supplies in filing cabinets in the utility room under the stairs. So far the wife is pretty tolerant---I just don't want to push my luck and move any of my "toys" upstairs.

I've had a re-shuffle of my desk today and here's the end result (iPhone Panorama mode):
