Lockdown Leisure League: Rebuilding
Beginnings
So. Let’s begin this thing.
First up, let’s look at the scale of what I was dealing with.
Thankfully the shelf (which ran the length of the room) has been removed, but oy, that’s a lot of crap, which has kindof buried my painting desk, smashed the in progress Space Wolves & Deathwatch armies that had been under the shelf, and knocked off assorted minis at various levels of completion.
Yeah, this hurt. And honestly? Utterly demoralizing. Between long shifts at work I just couldn’t bring myself to try to tackle sorting this mess out….
So this was the worst of the miniature damage, representing Space Wolf, Sisters of Battle, Space Wolves, Custodes, Sisters of Silence, and an assortment of miniatures from other ranges (I should point out that the Sister of battle were on the shelf right above me when it collapsed, so those got picked up and put in a bowl to be out of the way). I’d ordered a load of black dining trays to use to make moving projects easier, so they’ve become handy to store the damaged projects.
The desk post-cleanup. Not quite as bad as I thought, and I’ve not included pictures of how I’ve repurposed the painting desk as storage for carry cases and my paints. I do want to shift a lot of this into storage as (for example) the Warmachine & Hordes stuff is likely not to get touched any time soon.
I watched Duncans tutorial on how to turn Really Useful Boxes into magnetic storage boxes:
…and figure I’ll order a few more to clear the table.
Great project, brilliant to see you making progress. I also use RUB for storing my mini’s, I get my basing material from Trev at https://www.magneticdisplays.co.uk/ he even sells pre-cut round self-adhesive circles which fit right onto your bases.
Thanks for the heads up about Magnetic Displays dude. I’m adding that to the saved folder and will have a looksy. Cheers!
