That's a rather splendid 'bit of kit', Forbes ! :)

That does look a really good system. Just carried out a similar exercise and found it very therapeutic.

Thanks chaps. I'm very impressed with it, it all went together very easily, the pieces are very accurately cut - and its not laser cut, so there is no burnt smell!

The tidying out has been useful, I found many corks I had been saving for making rock or other things on bases - I had so many they wouldn't fit in one of the small drawers - and as only one had been cut up at all, I really didn't need so many.

Paint brushes - how many do  I have!!

Double ditto - WAY to neat and clean!  :D
Somehow it reminds me of a brand new Gilbert chemistry set from the 1950s - brings nostalgic tears to my eyes.

Sorry Leon, but nice try! That is far too neat to be any kind of real painting area!!!! Looks very good though!!!

Would it be worth seeing if they want a UK show distributor? The company is Hobby Zone in Poland. All the sections came very well packed, each in its own box, within the much bigger box. They have clearly put a lot of thought into the whole system. It is completely modular, so each piece (of the 9) can be swapped around to go in different places.

As you well know Peter I'm quite good at having many projects on the go. So don't worry on that part.

They do - I basically got 1 of each option, and the smaller drawers with the clear fronts are very useful, they are a good size for all the various bits that are needed. The longer drawers are useful for brushes and tools - and come with lots of internal dividers. But I could see myself adding more of the clear front drawers if I need more space. The only one I haven't really worked out what to put in is the tall thin drawer in the corner unit.

Big Stuff

Been painting a few models to add to my KoW Kingdom of Men army (and got some models on to the new painting area)



On the left are a couple of Reaper Bones giants, these were mainly painted by my daughters, I've just done some tidying up and shading on them. In the middle are some Dungeon Saga figures, the big ones at the back are Molochs, which come as red plastic, so they have mainly been washed with black, then dry brushed a bit, to paint the majority of the figure, which seems to work well for what they are. The two heroes come in a dark blue shiny plastic, which is really hard to see any details on, once undercoated they have painted up very nicely with lots of detail actually cast on the figure. There are a bunch more hero figures so might do some more of them.

My mate gave me some plastic spaceships last night - but assembly has been delayed as can't find my plastic cement - all this tidying and organising isn't entirely working...
