Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

The New Man Cave part 3

Its all starting to come together at last. I have moved the paint desk over from its old location. I have also re purposed some furniture recovered from my old day room to create extra hobby storage and dedicated airbrushing and other work area. I should be able to "hide" new stash fairly well now!

The "Hobby" end of the room

dedicated preparation and airbrush area. This as external extractor too. 
 I need to still fit some kind of splashback in this area to protect the walls
Paitn desk - now just for painting
I need to look at shelving options etc still for the books. But for now I am very happy to get things back useable again.

    Looks like a great space Dave. Know what you mean about a splash back, I've had a couple of messy accidents with paint that resulted in flecks of colour on me and the walls :-)

    I am so very envious Dave, but not sure what needing a splash back says about your painting style. :D

    Just as an aside, where are those splendid lamps from and are they any good?

    That looks great!
    Space for hiding new stuff is always a good investment. Got myself a big bureau to take care of that. It, unfortunately, became filled to the brim when I collected all minis and stuff from their dispersed hiding-places :-D

    A great spot to call your own indeed. I fear the AHPC productivity this might generate...

    Clearly not a proper set up, nowhere enough paint, shelving, mess, pointless junk or dust :) I guess I am saying this because I am seriously envious.

    Nice job! Plenty of space too. Who long will it stay like that, I wonder? ;O)
