SETTING UP A PAINTING & MODELING AREA
The table. For painting and modeling, you will need a steady table positioned somewhere where the lighting is good, like next to a window. Unless it's a very old, unwanted table, it's best to cover it with a thick layer of newspaper to protect the surface from scratches and water spills. If you are doing any modeling, you'll need a cutting mat as well.
Lighting. Natural daylight is best for painting, as artificial light distorts the colours. To get around this problem, many painters fit a daylight bulb into a standard lamp. Daylight bulbs cast a light that is similar to real sunlight, which makes it better for painting by.
Storing
your equipment. It's a lot more convenient if you can keep your
tools and equipment on or near the table where you work. If this
isn't possible, you'll need a box or some sort of portable container
to store your stuff in. Alternatively, Games Workshop sells a sturdy
paint station which you can use for storage and as a working area.
Safety. Always keep sharp tools and glue out of the way of small children and pets.
