A friend of mine recently started Warhammer (no doubt lured into it by the release of the new 8th edition of WHFB) and I thought I'd make him a little present - his imminent birthday being a perfect excuse.
I decided to make him his very first painting station, and thought it would be nice to share some pics. Enjoy!
Cutting out holes for water pots
Here I am making the handles on the sides of the tray. I cut out two holes and then joined them by carefully cutting out the middle section.
1 done, 1 to go
Eeeet voilà! :)
I glued and screwed the parts together for max stability. I also smoothed all edges with sand paper. The overall result is really nice I think . Total cost: €4 (and that's counting glue and screws) + 2h assembly time.
Very nice job on the paint station!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your buddy will be very happy to receive it for his birthday. :)
This is a bad ass tutorial! Thanks, I'll definitely be making this myself after the move!
ReplyDeleteVery good and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have a home-made painting station built to much the same design, but I used an old melamine shelf as the base and the back and shelf were built from 3mm thick plastic, salvaged from a plastic sign.
My PS has seen over ten years of service, I hope the one you built, serves you just as well.

That's an awesome gift for any gamer to receive. Great work and looks really quite simple.
