Where & When?

[Old Dwarf]

This morning is Grey & cold(typical NJ Feb.) and as it's Sunday
I can sleep in,so of course I was up at 5:30AM .

I went up to my paint room and painted up the metal parts
on 12 Lannister Inf figs for my Battle of Westros Project
I've been on since late Nov.Later today I'll do the same for
the remaining 12 figs.

I paint up on the 3rd floor in a small tower room which
contains a built in paint table(I was handy in my younger days)
and storage shelves.The room always looks organized at
the start of a project & by the time it's finished resembles
the retreat from Moscow.I try to paint daily when I'm
on a project which can run for months but once I've
finished I'm often just so painted out I don't pick up
a brush for at least several months.

Usually I paint just after dinner on weekdays from 20
minutes to an hour and mostly concentrate on one
area of the group of figs I'm painting(metal,cloth,flesh,leather).
Weekends I try to put in around 3 sessions a day depending
on what I have to deal with in real life.Again a session
is 20-60 minutes depending on how many figs and what
areas of them I'm painting.I usually only do one at a time.

I like to paint all the figs in a Unit at the same time to make
sure I'm giving them the same look.This works for Units
like the Lannister Inf Spear figs but of course breaks
down when I'm doing individual type figs(I think this is
why my AToE figs still remain unpainted).I do individuals
by doing all the flesh & flesh washes for all of them
and then just work them one by one doing one to three
areas a session.

So to Topic, We have some terrific painters here at TZG
and it occured to me where to they find the time &
where do they work the fig magic?

You know who you are fess up.
