My Painting Area...

I know people are going toask this, so I'm going to answer it before it comes up:

This is my painting table, in case you're wondering I just cleaned it. I finally took everything off it that didn't need to be there so this allows me to just take off the basics and I can put more paper down when I need to. Image is a little blurry because I had to stand on the sofa behind it to take a picture. You also can't see it very goodbu on the left side is where I keep all my choppy instruments, glue, and such near a self healing cutting mat. You'll also notice what I use for painting rigs: medicine bottles. I get them from my parents, but you coffin dodgers may have extra anyways.. :P I put sand in them so there is a little weight and it's not completly top heavy. I put double sided tape on the mini's base and paint it, then take it off with a knife. Otherwise, I cut off the tab (or keep it in the case of very small spindly legged minis) and drill into the feet and pin it so I can put it between two round peices of molding and wrap a rubber band around them. However, that method doesn't allow for good WIP pictures, and it takes time, so I've instead pinned the good sister to the base ahead of time (managing to drill through her foot in the process). Just one more week!
