Ahoy hoy folks, back when I first joined dakka I recall a thread somewhere abouts here where we all showed off the madness that was our workstations. Figuring we could all do with a bit of fun, lets have it again! Lets show off the insanity that is our workstations, workspace, or heck even coffee table if that's where you have to get things done! Its all in good fun so lets have a go at it!


Yeah this is the madness that is my workstation....This is what happens when you inherit a friend's tau army and you get tired of painting and want to get your assembly on >_<


Of all the things I love about my workstation, that Paintier thing is definitely worth its weight in gold. Such a useful thing to have especially when your paint collection starts getting a mind of it's own...


Aye there is the madness under the desk, assorted bitz boxes, army cases, unassembled, unopened models, and part of a tau army I haven't sorted into a container yet.

Mine is pretty messy but it gets the job done





I'm actually really interested to see what other people are using.

Here's mine



Its actually got more stuff on it now, this was taken a while ago when I first set it up.

Awwww man yours is cleeean....


Hrm, perhaps it's high time I de-orkify my room >_>

I wish I could afford a good workstation.

What's mine? A little desk under my raised bed. Cluttered with bitz and paint-pots and no fancy computer or rack or lamp in sight.

Aye I feel your pain mate, I got that table at a garage sale (It's one of those semi-cheap folding Pulp board tables you have for parties and catering events) so that actually ended up working out great at least as far as real estate goes. Everything else I just bought here and there but man it sure beats trying to do stuff at your friend's house kitchen table and stinking up the house so much with glue fumes that your friend's parents nearly kick you out in a rage....


Wooo random tangent there...anyhow, yeah I am definitely thankful for a good table!

Mine is nonexistant :(. Thanks for sharing yours, makes me jealous! When my wife and I get a garage, I'm claiming a corner of it, no questions asked

Dude the only reason i have that lamp is because my friend is awesome and lent it to me lol. They are pretty rad though i almost can't paint with a normal 60watt bulb anymore.

God yeah! That Mag lamp was a recent purchase and the "Simulated Daylight" light it gives is bloody fantastic, the 2nd lamp in the background was so low (I was using one of those energy efficent bulbs (bad bad BAD idea)) that my eyes would be itching furiously from the strain after a long assembly session. That and the extra 7x magnification lens doesn't hurt either!

Ever since i got the ott lite and my nerd goggles my eyes have been fine. I just look slowed as a result lol

Here's mine. I only use it to convert models, I don't have the money to buy the paint set, and my gw store lets people use its paints. But it serves very well for this purpose. Since my version of converting involves sitting down for very long stretches with a scalple, some files, a bit of green stuff and some blu-tac and just putting bits together to see how it would work, it's normally quite a bit messier than this, as there are bits strewn about everywhere. When not strewn everywhere, they are kept in the draws to the left of the screen. The citadel minature box is what I have been using to carry around my guard army for the past year or so.


And here's a close up of my army taken at a prior date, which shows off the amount of bits and messnormally lying around.


Also, closeup of the wierd, green lamp to the right of my desk. I'm also a designer (not really, I just do DT).

OOOO I shall have to share the setup with people that don't follow my random crap blog






Rigged Photo Booth in desk

You win lol

lol I love "pimp your Work Station" threads

@Signs - like how you bolted the tray racks right into the wall. That's serious business.

@stubbyG- I always thought a spice rack would do good as a paint rack.

Oh nice. Im seriously gonna post mine in here tomorrow

So... I can't reall call us "organized"... This is the workspace shared by myslef and starwoof. There are just under 30k points of 40k in this room at the time of these photographs. We have work to do.

I suddenly want to start a website... awesomewarhammergarage.com

Hey I know that workstation... its mine! So is that chaos army.

I believe LB wins with just the paint stand, i mean OMGSH! all i have is a table, with newspaper and a box - HURAH!

A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind!

Couldnt stop laughing at the picture.

Haha i should really get a better centerfold for up there. That one is from like 1970 or something.

Awesome stuff all around!

Here's the main painting area, with a constant shuffling playlist of as many MST3K episodes as I can cram on my computer playing in the background.



The spare bitz/paint/other junk table.



The side table with other bitz plus the three 2' x 4' felted sections to turn the painting table into a gaming table, plus some titan legs.



Who puts books on bookshelves?

Mine is a drawer

Pure chaos some of these tables.


I need a bigger table >_>

Ooh ooh, can I play?

I too favour the "carnage" principle of modelling organization. Thankfully my GF allows me free reign in our spare bedroom

mines the worse a little table 10 paints cup thats meant to hold the toothbrushes lol & 1 paintbrush... oh yeah and half a pit of gw glue.

I know exactly where everything is. I swear.

Here's my setup. It has gotten a TON cleaner since I got my new Battlefoam bag, I was able to get rid of 3 cases and 3 large boxes.

Nice!
