The New and Improved Painting Bench

My work-life  is vey feast or famine.  I'm either unable to take a bite of my sandwich for two days straight, or I complete War and Peace from cover to cover.  On one of the latter days, I finally decided to open up the box for my standing desk I got for my birthday, but instead of replacing my work desk in the office I turned around and replaced the my old painting bench.  

Assembly was a breeze, and while it's barely a few inches shorter in length, the cord caps have made the table  less cluttered.

The paints are resorted, about a half dozen dead bottles chucked, and glass shaker beads in every large bottle.  I do need to hit Wal-Mart for a matching lamp to the one of the right.  

I've spent the last 3-4 weeks mentioning a revision of the painting queue, and this allows me to set this up.
  1. Gnome Wars - 4x different units, including a new take on the Southern Gnomes, thanks to Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff #620.   KARTAS has been rather listless the past few months (but listless KARTAS is far better than more podcasts), but even rarer than recent inspiration is wargaming inspiration from them.  If I'm skipping Cold Wars, they'll premiere at Historicon next year.
  2. Pulp - 1 unit.   The vaporware 4th season of the Pulp game hinges on one unit, and everything is further along and supported than its ever been. Also a piece of random terrain. 
  3. Death Planet Iota - I had planned a new gang to roam the streets, but after my flea market finds at Fall-In!  I can refurb the figures I acquired and set up a second, rival gang! There's certainly another  plus another wave of the terrain, thanks to the replacement bench
  4. OGRE Minis - More Transnistrian Scientific Republic clean-up.  

I'm going to be able to get another set of shelves and give my 3-drawer "work" drawers an ergonomic lift shortly, but in reality my focus is on the bottom shelves.  All of them down below are simply unpainted lead/plastic/etec.
