Product Information

A cluttered work space is a recipe for stress, according to psychologists. Even when you’re not working at your hobby desk, the mere sight of the messy space can trigger a stress response. The visual of clutter reminds you of the frustration that painting miniatures in a messy environment. A workstation takes your haphazard space and contains it in a pleasant compartment of joy (yeah, joy). 3. More creativity The The Army Painter Model Paint Hobby Station is a very popular miniature painting station for wargaming hobbyists. This hobby project workstation is perfect for organizing your miniature paints and tools. All your paintbrushes and other supplies are within easy reach. Some portable hobby paint stations have built-in lights, like this one or this paint workstation case. But, I find these lighting systems to be subpar, either too dim or narrow for most miniature hobby and painting work. I suggest getting a dedicated, high quality lamp for your workspace. There are great portable lights made for miniature painting and modeling arts, too. Portability

Top lid is secured by two handles similar to the hard carrying cases. This is quite necessary it seems as the lid does move a little even with these clamps down. So for those who are wondering, no, it does not seal airtight. A bit of a letdown really but let’s continue.Are you looking for a dedicated hobby space you call “home”, but need to keep it compact or storage- and travel-ready? Continue reading to see what else you should consider for your ideal workstation and a review of the top 13 mobile workstations for miniature painting and modeling hobbies. Do you have a lot of hobby miniature paints? Keep them organized and all in the same place with a portable hobby workstation or dedicated painting station. Image credit: Tangible Day All base tray components for this painting station have carrying handles and space for twelve brushes or model accessories such as files, scissors and tweezers. Additionally, there is space for a water cup up to 3.15″(or 80mm) diameter and a small drawer for storing other hobby tools, e.g., knifes, clippers. If you favour a similarly offensive approach but on a much larger scale, look no further than the new Warlord Titan – after all, it comes with a power claw large enough to crumple an Imperial Knight within its grip or even tear apart a rival god-machine! The kit also comes with two Sunfury plasma annihilators (one of which you can choose to replace with the Arioch Titan power claw), a pair of carapace-mounted laser blasters and a choice of two heads. The new Warlord Titan also comes with alternative heads and tilting plates to the original, adding even more variety to your maniples, while it retains the same choice of Loyalist, Traitor or neutral carapace markings. Or, another example, fixing a household appliance or touching up a broken, chipped doodad that your cat tripped/chewed/clawed/mangled. Maybe you have other hobbies that could use your attention and you want to keep this activity contained. A hobby workstation gives you that versatility. Your hobby workstation is your “place” to work on small things that may get lost on any other desk. Paint compatibility

The sectioned off parts under the lid have a curious design: the bottom parts of the sections (where the cutting mat goes and the sides) are missing so anything that you put in there can slide off easily. That may cause accidents with the cutting mat for example if you drag your knife on the surface towards yourself to make a long cut and suddenly you move the mat onto you… not a good idea. I think GW could have implemented the working solution they had with the paint station and its cutting mat: once placed down it’s secure and doesn’t move. About the side spaces, it’s a mystery what was intended to be stored there. So I’m thinking of attaching the palettes with some putty and use like the paint station.
