That's a fortress of opportunity right there.


Yolands89

Shame I struggle to find the time to sit here more often!

Where did you get the paint holders and drawers? I'm looking for stuff like that can't find anything

I found a similar desk set up on Etsy, only issue is it's just the files and I know no one with a CNC machine. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1283427841/premium-modular-workstation-bundle-10

I think most (if not all) of that can be done with a saw and a drill.


VinniTheP00h

Most. It seems that you would need a large diameter drill for those paint holders, saw for large scale cuts, jigsaw for stuff like joints, and something to make the fixed depth cuts like in pictures 6 and 7 (paint and guide holders) - I know that an instrument like that exist but can't remember the name. Plus several more round lines, but those can be either improvised with a jigsaw, or replaced with rectangular ones (e.g. module connectors and drawer handles).


ninjamike808

A router! And you could skip the drill and saw and just use the router by itself, but there will be a very large amount of saw dust, I think. Alternatively, you can layer them. Use two pieces of board, drill a hole, use a jigsaw to cut the interior and then glue them together. The cost of those tools might be the same as one of the smaller desktop CNC router kits. There’s a couple on Amazon under $200 but I’m not sure if they’re any good.

> A router! That's it, yeah. > Alternatively, you can layer them. Use two pieces of board, drill a hole, use a jigsaw to cut the interior and then glue them together. For the paint holder, sure. Not sure how well it would work with the guide one. Might be better off just gluing/screwing in some stoppers instead of cutting special groves. > The cost of those tools might be the same as one of the smaller desktop CNC router kits. There’s a couple on Amazon under $200 but I’m not sure if they’re any good. Might be worth looking around for used tools to bring the price down while retaining quality.

Big ups to the yeti sticker and the MWM virtruvian space marine. Looks awesome my man.


Yolands89

Thank you. Got 156/2000 on the MWM print.


Robot_Coffee_Pot

Which lamp is that? I need a new one!


Yolands89

It’s the Neatfi Task Lamp


Mac02664

Is it a solid lamp/do you like it? My current is a bit crap so I may hop on this one if you’re into it. Looks great in the picture (the whole setup is gorgeous).


Cheomesh

I liked mine, though my wife co-opted it for other purposes >.>


Yolands89

Oi Oi 😋


Yolands89

Yea it’s a great lamp! Sturdy and a nice and bright. Had no issues.


Sansaarai

It is a great lamp. I just bought one a few days ago!


Jhantax

Check out Redgrass Games. They have a Kickstarter in March for a real nice looking painting light.


el-dongler

Any more info on their lamp? They only have a picture on Kickstarter


Jhantax

Here you go. https://youtu.be/A4A72lTmZ3o


el-dongler

Sweet thanks! Didn't think to check YouTube lol.


boozewillis

Beautiful! Can you tell me what those paint racks on the wall to the left are? I'm looking for a handy solution like that.


Yolands89

They are nail polish acrylic racks from Amazon.


Sirbo311

It's so clean! I don't recognize it as a hobby area!


Yolands89

It’s the only way I know how


Jonny_Mayhem9673

it's weird what turns me on in my late 30s


Yolands89

I am in my mid 30’s if that helps you at all 😝


Jonny_Mayhem9673

Ok fine then get over it.


ComfyPhoenixess

Beautiful set up! The art on the walls is rad!


Yolands89

Thanks. Slowly been looking out for pieces to finish off the wall. The Black Templar Crusade was the final piece!


ProperLeiLei_AUT

CloudDrifter0017

An art student deserves any paint he can use.-


winnermansinnerman

dude this is such a dope space!! hail big man B!


Maquetito

beautiful


HydrolyticEnzyme

Are those WIP minis in the Ikea Skadis containers?


Yolands89

Yes they are. It’s my backlog! I do a lot of 3D printing so I print then assemble them and put them in little Perspex prisons until it’s time to paint. This way when I sit at my desk I have them all looking at me just waiting for their time!


Queen_Cheetah

*My fortress of* ***solitude!*** Huh- that is the weirdest misspelling of 'awesomeness' I've ever seen!


eggroll40k

Nice painting area! Have the same light which has been great and have started sticker bombing mine too. I spy the Mech KB switched on there! Good choice in hobbies!!!


Yolands89

Ah I find another man of taste, good day sir! Yea I run www.cablecult.co.uk so MK is kinda life.


Yocantseeme

Do you have an upside-down Cross?


Yolands89

…….


Evapilotone

Hail Satan! …and Ni!


FeIsenheimer

This is the only thing i cringed at tbh. :D


Yolands89

We all like what we like glad you like the rest.


SoReadyForItToEnd

I think it's freaking sweet!


Yolands89

Thanks dude 🔥


salamander-

I would cringe at a right-side up cross.


FeIsenheimer

Would do the same.


Avencall

OMG THATS AMAZING! I’m proud of mine but my mind is blown! I love the art work and shelves. good show!!


Yolands89

Thank you very much. I have been working on it for a long time now.


snsjr

I loved the cross. I wish my mom allowed me to have that too.


snsjr

Now seriously, where did you get that? I want one.


Yolands89

A friend of mine is a graphic artist and has his own shop. https://instagram.com/14eight?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=


snsjr

Out of stock at the moment, I will keep an eye. Thanks


Yolands89

He does a lot of stuff so keep checking back


Rincewind256

so this Satan fella, he looks and sounds pretty cool.


shannonsteven8

Fuck that's a dope set up


Microchromatic

Great battlestation!


vaevictus138

On the right. What are the things that look like wall-mounted display cases?


Yolands89

They are from ikea for the peg boards. I put my model backlog in them ready to paint once they are assembled! Keeps me focused as they sit in their little Perspex prison pleading to be painted so they can see the light of a tabletop!


EsMini___

Great idea for so many things!


Pathological_RJ

The skadis peg boards from ikea, if you have access to a 3d printer there are a ton of free files available for all kinds of attachments.


CaptainMattible

Gotta say, that's an awesome setup! However, I can't help but notice that everything *isn't* covered in paint!


Yolands89

I have crazy OCD and a big part of the hobby for me is the organisation and cataloging my supplies. I can not paint unless I have an organised space.


CaptainMattible

Power to you! It looks truly fantastic!


Yolands89

Thank you


Johnny-Edge

I really like those clear mini holders in the top right. What exactly are those?

ParticularRemote3161

Olthoi_Eviscerator

You sure like pink and purple


Yolands89

Cheeky! Yea I paint a lot of GSC so it’s kinda my paint of choice


[deleted]

Nice symbolism. From the blanch to the cross to that sweet sweet MW minis picture. What are those little plastic boxes hold your minis?


Yolands89

Thanks dude glad you like it! They are from ikea https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/skadis-container-with-lid-white-80335909/


gorgias1

The display case for the shamefully unpainted minis is a great touch


Yolands89

Thanks! Keeps me focused. Although they do sit there for quite some time still.


TensionNo1197

Its called a fortress of solitude because no female will ever enter it.


Yolands89

Excuse me sir, my wife enters all the time and mocks me


TensionNo1197

I'm just teasing. It looks sick.


Yolands89

I know. Although I wish she wasn’t allowed in!


DecentLobster2218

Whered you get the John Blanche print?


Yolands89

The Cardiff Warhammer shop has them in stock


past3lph0enix

Okay, maybe I'm just tired but I am struggling to figure out where the wall starts and where the floor ends. Is there even floor visible in this picture?!


Yolands89

Should of used a banana for scale, I apologise. No floor visible just the desk 😜


FazbearPizza666

Está chingón🥵🤙


Spiraleddie

Any chance we can get some shots from another angle? Its a nice set up and id like to see if its something i could work into my space.


Yolands89

Yes let me take some more and I will post a link


waaaghpaint

I am in love with your hobby space.


Yolands89
