Workbench is where the Editor does his best to assemble, paint, and prepare some of the products sent to us here at The Miniatures Page.
He may be more of a perfectionist than you are - or he may be less of one! He's not trying to prescribe the One Right Way. He's just trying to describe how one guy happens to do it.
If you would like to write a Workbench article, or if you are a manufacturer and would like your products featured in Workbench, please view the FAQ.
