Paint Station Alpha
Step 4 - The Home Straight.
With the desk assembled it was time to give it a coat of paint. I didn’t really do anything fantastic for this, favouring practicality over style because the desk is likely to take some punishment (it’s for building stuff, not just painting).
I used simple fence paint for the most part and painted the shelves and other surfaces with a one coat gloss. Which as always ended up needing two coats.
Once everything was dry it was a simple case of moving in! To aid visibility I added some Ikea wall lights over the top of the desk area. These have a very cool, white light which helps counter the warmth of the rest of the lights in the attic.
On the end wall I also added two additional wooden shelves for storing basing materials and other large bottles and I also added a tool tidy system. The red tubs contain bases of all shapes and sizes, the blue, for the most part contain scenic pieces for terrain building and the yellow contain hobby tools.
