Just wanted to share some pictures of my painting studio. It's a constant WiP and had more time/money invested than my 40k army. Here is what it looked like before.

http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55ee2211e4b00f678f4196c9/t/563586f5e4b0e32e6d5199c5/1446348547990/1.jpg?format=750w

And how it looks now after everything was moved out and new paint racks added with a shelf above.

On the left of the painting station is materials storage for spray paints, basing materials, chemicals, adhesives, etc. The middle section is a Shamwow to absorb paint from spraying larger things and cleaning the airbrush. Regular spraying and paint mixing is done directly on the table.

Front half view with my game table. The actual table itself was built by GBS Woodworking in Austin Tx. It was $450 if I remember correctly and the fits the Realm of Battle perfectly. These tiles can also be replaced with wooden inserts to make a regular game/dining table. I have still yet to play Warhammer or anything else on this table... Actually I have yet to play 40k. Tried AoS twice and didn't like it.

And the 4 Ikea Display cases. I need some more because I'm up to 100+ painted models again that have nowhere to go:

Another Ikea thing to hold more miniatures. I'll probably replace this with 2 more of the glass cases.

I arrayed my Fantasy Flight/Cool Mini boxes in the back to take up the vertical space with the minis in front. Cosplay Nurse Baemax (@NurseBaemax on Twitter) for scale.

And a close up:

Single models or small collections take the top shelves. The two middle cases have mics. wargame and Anime models and the two flanking them are historical dioramas.

And finally the light box and computer work station (I play Asian Pop music at some night clubs as a side thing which explains all the Korean Pop music posters.)

Thank you for looking, if you are interested in looking at more of how this was put together and more pictures due to the 10 picture cap, link to my blog:
