The poll on time actual spent wargaming was very informative so I thought I'd try another.

I voted my work area a 4 since it does get cleaned up occasionally, but judge for yourself:

I use the Archaeological Succession method of filing and retrieval. Work out when you last saw it, work down to that layer then increase the size of the pit until you uncover the artefact :)

Utilisation is the use made of a space, untilisation is the time until a space is unusable :)

From an available table space of 7 square feet, I now work in 8 square inches ...until some stuff falls off...   

In workspace, no-one can hear you scream!   :'(

A quick glance at my workspace suggests that I am working to the same ratio.

There are some places in the workspace you don't go alone.

Like Lemmey I use the kitchen table as and when, with my box of paints and a couple of trays of figures stashed on a high shelf. The rest of it is under the bed ready to take over come the revolution!! :d

Not a great photo, but here's FSN Central.

Unusually  :^o for me I've got too much on the table: US Marines, Japanese, Napoleonic Prussians, some Far East buildings and 3 lots of late WWII German aircraft.

I've removed one of my natural daylight lamps, and you can see the Dremel drill stand on the left. TV and computer available - I've got a YouTube video about the Tortoise going on one, and the Pendraken forum on the other.

I know things have gotten out of hand when I'm using my wet pallet as a place to let washed or dipped minis dry and then can't get to painting anything else.
