Hi folks - my wife finally got fed up with my modelling corner and told me to tidy it all up or get rid of it all - maybe this is the motivation I need to paint properly!

Currently it looks like this:



and I'd much rather it looked like this:

With doors on the front.

Few features I think I'll need -

  • Lockable doors up to about 4ft so the kids can;t get in
  • Built in extractor so I can airbrush safely
  • Lighting - lot's and lots of lighting
  • rack space for paints, GW pots and vallejo airbrush
  • draws for tools, pots, potions and various dangerous chemicals
  • Space for storing board games (see pic) and minaitures in battlefoam
  • all enclosing front so when it's all shut, it looks like normal furniture
  • Enough space to expand!



So - what I'm looking for is advice and ideas

  • Have any of you done this before?
  • Any idea what are must have features?
  • Any examples of really great self contained desks you've seen elsewhere?
  • Anythign else?
  • Any idea what it might cost?


Huge thanks in advance
