How messy is your hobby painting area/workbench? |

I try to keep it clean, but scratch-building can sometimes turn it in to a right state. Tony |

I *think* there is a table under all my stuff… :) |

Pretty messy at the moment. Got 100 figures that had sat there for over a year finally finished with some help from my friend. Still, I need to clean up the area. |
Dye4minis | 07 Jun 2016 12:00 p.m. PST |
Same for me as reported by all the above! Disaster area! I am sure I would do better painting if I made more room by putting more things away!…….. |

My idea of a 'tidy' and 'well organised' workspace differ profoundly from what others seem to think is described by those words. It isn't dirty (except for the paint splashes and lumps of congealed glue and filler) – I avoid getting dust on figures mostly by storing even part finished figures in boxes when I'm not working on them. |

Not very messy if you mean paint spills and such. Cluttered with all manner of ongoing projects on the other hand…. |

Surprisingly neat and tidy at present. The granddaughter has been using it and tidying up. That won't last long but hopefully she'll paint a few minies of mine while she's at it. x42 |
Timmo uk | 07 Jun 2016 12:43 p.m. PST |
Generally pretty tidy. My daily work is at the same desk so often tidy everything away, not that there's that much in the first place to tidy away. I much prefer working in a clean, light and tidy environment. Mess = stress. |
BCantwell | 07 Jun 2016 12:49 p.m. PST |
I have a 2' x 4' desk and an 8" x 6" work space… the rest is paints, basing stuff, clutter, projects, household repair jobs, more clutter, etc |
bc1745 | 07 Jun 2016 12:53 p.m. PST |
Clear….has to be….just move the projects through….. Like Timmo I use my desk for other things…. |
Joes Shop | 07 Jun 2016 12:57 p.m. PST |
Clear here too. I work on prepping multiple projects at the same time so it has to be neat and organized. |

Mine is thoughtfully cluttered. |
basileus66 | 07 Jun 2016 1:17 p.m. PST |
I don't want to think about it. Move along. Nothing to see here. |
14Bore | 07 Jun 2016 1:18 p.m. PST |
I had to clear it from other junk to make room to paint. It's in a afternoon window and am liking the sunlight. |
Zeelow | 07 Jun 2016 1:26 p.m. PST |
Ha ha ha! My Man Divot is a picture of hording on a 2'x 2.5' space! Only the strong survive! |
Doug MSC | 07 Jun 2016 1:29 p.m. PST |
Very organized and clean! |
Vigilant | 07 Jun 2016 1:35 p.m. PST |
I believe that there's a house under here somewhere, though that could be a rumour. |
kallman | 07 Jun 2016 1:45 p.m. PST |
Um…well…ah…it's,…um, I can find what I need when I need it…mostly. |

Pristine, I guess, since I don't have one, so am starting from scratch, sadly. |
RavenscraftCybernetics | 07 Jun 2016 3:25 p.m. PST |
so messy Im tempted to chuck it all and start over. |
tberry7403 | 07 Jun 2016 3:41 p.m. PST |
If it ain't messy, it ain't a workbench. |
d effinger | 07 Jun 2016 3:49 p.m. PST |
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…. as messy as it could possibly be. I might have misplaced a children under the heap. If so… it is long gone. Don |
tigrifsgt | 07 Jun 2016 4:04 p.m. PST |
The day I couldn't find two brand new tubes of glue, I knew it was time to clean it. (Testors red tube modeling glue) |

Messy and it keeps trying to take over more space! |
Berzerker73 | 07 Jun 2016 8:02 p.m. PST |
Usually messy, just cleaned it up a few weeks ago |
KSmyth | 07 Jun 2016 8:10 p.m. PST |
Pretty messy right now. I'm not one to resist taking the time to make sense of it, but it will have to wait a couple of weeks until school is out. |
53Punisher | 07 Jun 2016 8:26 p.m. PST |
After I finish getting it unburied, I'll let you know. |
Lascaris | 07 Jun 2016 8:33 p.m. PST |
Fairly organized. Two boxes of paints, a jar with brushes, water box, box to hold/mix paint in use, mini's being painted. |
Dynaman8789 | 08 Jun 2016 4:43 a.m. PST |
Both of them are a mess (one for painting and one for terrain/mounting figs). A clean workbench is the sign of a sick mind! |
Saber6 | 08 Jun 2016 6:16 a.m. PST |
I can't leave mine up. So clear when I'm not working and probably a few things too many when I am. |
Dexter Ward | 08 Jun 2016 6:58 a.m. PST |
It has the thing I'm working on on top – the desk is closed up when not in use to conceal all the paints/tools etc. There's only ever one thing being worked on, and that's the only thing on the desk; it doesn't get put away till it's finished. That's the only way to make sure stuff does get finished. |
Frederick | 08 Jun 2016 8:31 a.m. PST |
Right now it is very tidy That is only because the Little Prince and I tidied it up last night- put away 40 paints into the right drawers, replaced all the paper covering the workspace, tossed out the garbage, organized the figs Give us a week or so |
Kraken Skulls Consortium | 08 Jun 2016 8:36 a.m. PST |
Clean when I am not working on a project. A nightmare right now. |
BelgianRay | 08 Jun 2016 12:00 p.m. PST |
Some of you have made me laugh to tears reading. Really…. |
Phrodon | 08 Jun 2016 12:54 p.m. PST |
Somewhere underneath all my stuff, I think there is a table. Organizing and cleaning my workspace has been on my to-do list for a while. |
Phrodon | 08 Jun 2016 1:00 p.m. PST |
I need a good paint organizer. Any suggestions? |
