Well only 3 years after I moved house I have finally got my wargames room and specifically a dedicated painting/modelling area up and almost ready for action! I built a custom height painting workbench as I like
to rest my arms on the table edge while painting, hence a much higher table than normal is desirable. The paint shelf is v1.0 and will soon be replaced with a better design to increase visibility of the colour-coded lids of the archaic enamel paints that I persist in using.
