Painting Spaces – DAVECO 

Like Stonedrose I am lucky to have a room dedicated to painting. Though as you see mine is a little more anarchic than his. I have a DAVECO original art work at the back of my painting desk. Not as epic as the wolf king but it changes every time I use the airbrush.

Daylight lamps. Get them! It will make things better!

I tend to keep all of the colours and stuff I use the most out near to me and hoard other stuff packed manically away in a semblance of order. That said if there is a thing needed or a bit to be found, in our group its normally me who has it.

The Legendary DAVECO stash of bits!

I too am a Hobby butterfly, jumping from thing to thing. BUT once I get a good project I can be a little obsessed by it, a good example is my Horus Heresy Deathguard Army. Painted a small Allied force for my Night Lords (more on them coming soon).

They were a totally different painting challenge and just over a year later… well… massive Deathguard Army.

Actually this photo is little out of date, I have one more Leviathan Dreadnought and some Vorax Battle Automata to add.

When painting I do enjoy some music or an audio-book, even a film on in the background just to fill in.

When do I paint? Well normally an hour or two after work then a good long blast on a Saturday. Sunday is taken up by the Club, that you can naturally paint at as we have a nice little painting table.

And that’s it in all honesty, if you want to have huge well painted forces you have to put the graft in.

Painting Spaces- JB

Hello folks,

So my painting space...well...errr it's more of a... hmmmm

Well here it is.

So there you have it.
My space has changed quite a bit over the years, and this is its current iteration.

It's an easy set up table, an old comfy blanket, and a box of paints. The Feline assistant is optional.

I grew up having to drape my mam's dining room table in newspaper, and putting yet more paper on the floor at my feet. It was a full on military operation and it eventually began to drive me away from my hobby. I was spending more time setting up than I was painting. Something had to change.

That change was to be the TV dinner table. This actually allowed me to sit for hours on end, usually watching TV or listening to music, painting to my hearts content. My mojo was soon back with a vengeance, figures exploding from all angles.

This is where I usually paint, but I do have a neater, more contemporary space where I sometimes work if I need a change of scenery, but that is just a desk with a day light bulb in the lamp.

For me the TV table was one of the best things to happen for my hobby and painting. Everyone has something different, something that just clicks for them and this is it for me. Simple, not professional in the slightest, but functional, and for me that's all I need.

Thanks Guys!
More Figures to come soon!
