Oh man.. let me make a list:

iPod dock. Drum sticks. Wallet, Superglue, Magnifying glass, Phone. Stack of CDs. Speakers. Monitor. Cell phone box. Lamp. Another lamp. About a dollar in change. Ten to fifteen pages of paper. My assault squad. A high elf noble. 20 tins of GW paint. Pallet. Six paint brushes. A cup of water. Cell phone. Removable Harddrive. The marines from Space Hulk. A few more randomly placed CDs. Camera. Camera case. A long empty bottle of Coke. Tape. Receipts. Tissue paper. Four batteries. A pencil. A pen. A page a day calender. Dust. Two pop can tabs. and under it all, a Signed poster of the Snow Birds.

...
Yeah. I barely knew there was a desk, you have my vote!

**chromedog**

It's a trifle cluttered - at any one time I have around 4 projects on the go - but it also holds my computer, scanner, printer, surround sound, 4 document trays, 2 desk lamps and other clutter.

I know where everything is on it though,

**someguy55**

my desks a bomb site

**CrashUSAR**

Oh lord...
Unfinished Stormtroopers, cutting mat, knives, knife blades, clippers, glue....general modelling supplies, buncha paint pots, brushes, camera, valkeries waiting to be finished, about half a chimera/russ, box of Cadians that will one day see a game table, a couple Grey Knights, a few empty beer bottles (I like to paint and party...what?), and now some CSM and Chaos Termies. I'm assuming there's a table under all that.

**Kapitan Montag**

My modelling desk is pretty full, but in a nearly organized way - the space around the desk though is awash with about 10 half finished sprues and modell boxes. (There's also two in the window sill in the hall and two on the couch downstairs)

it wasn't until this poll came along that I remembered I actually have computer desk

It's so full of mugs,books, cds, ashtrays, mugs being used as ashtrays (yeah i know!) that I'd completely forgotten it could be used as a workspace!

**ZacktheChaosChild**

My desk is actually in really bad shape right now, I don't have any other place to put terrain, figures, paints, etc. It's all over my desk (along with music a guitar stuff).

**Lord of Kaith**

Mine is a nightmare. All 40-odd of my paints are constantly strewn across it, along with my brushes, any WIP miniatures, glue, ballast, etc.

**HoverBoy**

My desk is in aconstant limbo stuck between "kinda full" and "There's adesk there!" i kepp my computer with printer and scanner my work stuff and my painting stuff + minis, but i still find it clear enough to use the comp without knocking stuff over, oddly other people who need to use the PC can't seem to achieve the same result

Now on to my assembly/conversion area, its not a desk per se its а cabinet with drawers where my minis and bits are kept, on top of it i have a piece of dentist equipment, you know that part of the dentist chair where all the drills and junk is stored, i have that its an old model so its big and there's room on top of it to do my cutting/gluing,drilling (yes i use the dentis drill for minis

), if anyone is qurious i'm not a dentist however i got it from my dentist when old models where outlawed here in Bulgaria and she was gonna throw it out so lucky me, free drills i still had to buy my own drill bits for e'm tho. Seeing as that surface area is smaller than a desk i try to keep most of the stuff i ain't working on in the drawers.

Edit: Damn typos

**Lord of Kaith**

Update: I underexaggerated. My desk resembles what I imagine would happen if Jabba the Hutt ate a Wal-Mart and threw up, then got bombed by an Earthshaker battery and then struck by a meteor.

In other words, pretty bad

**chaos**

i placed decent kinda full because at the moment i am working on multiple sets it's really cluttered my desk in the way it commonly dose for me

**Happygrunt**

There seems to be a pile of junk floating in my room...

**Old Man Ultramarine**

I have 4 six foot tables set up and it's all buried.

Oh, where do I begin...

**Owain**

I have an update! I now have many desks, all of which are very organized.

I have 30' of countertop split into assembly, basing, painting, airbrush and photo stations with my different bitz boxes all labeled; the last thing I want to do is sift through a box of shuriken cannons to find a bolt pistol.

**Lukus83**

My desk is "so-so". There's my work stuff piled up in a neat little corner and a few bottles of aftershave along with a family pic neatly organized. Top shelf is a bit muddled...a printer and loads of crap that I don't even know what it is...all in a binder though.

**ChaoticMind**

Voted multiple at various states. The one in the living room is a disaster yet the one in my room is fairly decent.

Thankfully I inherited my messiness from my parents so they don't kill me.

**WarOne**

I use a floor, and sometimes a couch/chair/dog.

**Beer_&_Bolters**

Had to vote 'other' as i work from the kitchen table rather than a desk. It's nice and clean/organized though, my gf would just put it all in a closet if i left it a mess.

**Element206**

clean and organized

**Squat Kid**

I have 2 tables with various projects, castings, painting stuff, like everything, but yet, I know where everything is

**Melkhiordarkblade**

I keep everything I own completely clean.

**Matt070**

I used to have a desk once... might try to look for it one day *looks at various piles of random stuff*.. one day...

**guyperson5**

My desk is suprisingly, not too bad

**Jubear**

I just cleaned my desk it took like an hour just to get down to wood.

**mekbadzappa**

There's an army of guardsmen fighting each other and a new Leman russ annihilator that I made and painted the other day and theirs guardsmen takin cover behind my paint and greenstuff. I've got an ork nob fighting Arkos on top of a shadowsword and a group of steel legion guys gutting my forgeworld renegades. I've been war gaming for 5 months too.

**logg_frogg**

I have more than one desk. The cleanliness varies directly with my work load

Organized chaos when busy and mostly clean when done

It always has little stacks of stuff all over regardless

**Leigen_Zero**

I haven't done anything hobby related for about 2 months now, so all my stuff is neatly packed away in cupboards + corners...

All thats on my desk is a computer and pens etc...

**odh1nn**

It's like my old man always told me, "Don't worry about the guy with the messy desk. Worry about the one with the exceptionally clean one, because he's obviously not doing anything..."

**Viktor von Domm**

i recently switched to the put-it-where-there-is-still-some-space-left....this is the methode that comes just one minor snap before the file-it-on-the-floor-methode...by then i will deem myself a fulltime messy...*hangs head low*

**Varrick**

I have my computer desk clean save for the contents of my pockets strewn about past my keyboard, and my work desk which is MOSTLY organized but very unclean.

Everything is in a section it should be in but its not put away neatly.
