Product Information

Are you looking for a dedicated hobby space you call “home”, but need to keep it compact or storage- and travel-ready? Continue reading to see what else you should consider for your ideal workstation and a review of the top 13 mobile workstations for miniature painting and modeling hobbies. Do you have a lot of hobby miniature paints? Keep them organized and all in the same place with a portable hobby workstation or dedicated painting station. Image credit: Tangible Day This Portable Paint Station is ideal for a miniature painter or hobbyist looking for easy access to all their supplies in a portable carrying case. This is perfect for someone who has limited desk space or wants a dedicated and mobile setup (i.e., a hybrid workstation). The shelves and drawers are modular and you can changes these out depending on your needs. Some portable hobby paint stations have built-in lights, like this one or this paint workstation case. But, I find these lighting systems to be subpar, either too dim or narrow for most miniature hobby and painting work. I suggest getting a dedicated, high quality lamp for your workspace. There are great portable lights made for miniature painting and modeling arts, too. Portability Things like folding paint organizer cases or boxes, or drawers with magnetic clasps help make a hobby workstation more convenient for the traveler, or simply someone who wants to move their workspace around the home, e.g., kitchen to bedroom.

The ideal hobby workstation for miniature painting and modeling for you depends on your available space, your workflow, hobby needs, e.g., paints and tools, and available budget. You may even care about aesthetic and appearance. A great hobby paint station may be highly functional, but ugly and appear too DIY or cheap-looking. Modular workstation for scale model hobbies and miniature painting with carry handles for easy portability Do you travel with your hobby or need to store your paint station, frequently? Need mobility? Consider a portable hobby paint station. These workstations are often lighter weight, fold, and have convenient carry handles or straps. Of course, these travel or storage-ready paint workstations are smaller and have much less capacity to hold your stuff, but they work well as intended. Versatility Some hobby workstations can serve more than one purpose. Sure, most would use these for painting miniatures, but you can use your space for other useful things, too. You can store paints that you rarely use in your folding paint station. They are also much more durable than a random cardboard storage box, e.g. shoebox. All base tray components for this painting station have carrying handles and space for twelve brushes or model accessories such as files, scissors and tweezers. Additionally, there is space for a water cup up to 3.15″(or 80mm) diameter and a small drawer for storing other hobby tools, e.g., knifes, clippers.At first look I was very excited to see a design that carefully stored all the tender devices I use in modeling, be it sable brushes or files. The top two spots seem to be designed for the readily sold basing kits by Citadel, my WH40k kit fit in one of those perfectly. The other I intend to fill up with other larger materials that got leftover from the specialized compartments. Other than that, I followed the example set in the ad video when moving into this box. Modular and portable paint storage and organization case compatible with Vallejo style dropper bottles (includes Army Painter, Reaper, and Scale 75 paints) Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. For a great hobby carry case that you will help you stay organized even when you travel, you’ll love using cosmetic organizer boxes and cases, such as this cosmetic travel organizer or a professional makeup train case. These are affordable, handsome (stylish), and perfect for traveling with your hobby supplies and paints. Cosmetic cases are sturdy, built for storage and travel, and have easy access to your hobby stuff.

There is a huge capacity for storing brushes, paints, and other accessories. Everything you need is close at hand. When the paint station is closed and latched shut, the entire station is easy to move around. Be forewarned that to prevent objects from shifting about, it is recommended to keep the case upright and vertical during travel.When lid is used on the box to create the workstation it gets really high and may be uncomfortable to work at

I hope this review was useful to you in determining the use of the box. If you like, share some alternate solutions or your own setups in the comments and I’ll update this post with them as a reference for future hobbyists. The Modular Painting Station Suitable for Right or Left-Hand Users is a compact modular hobby painting workstation. The internal shelving is interchangeable with 3 patterns for wide paint bottle/pot compatibility, e.g., GW, Citadel, Model Master, Vallejo and Army Painter. Depending on the configuration, this paint station will hold between 20 to 10 bottles or pots of model paint. Modular Painting Station Suitable for Right- or Left-Hand Users Modular Painting Station uses a versatile tray system chassis The Citadel Project Box is exactly what the name says: a project box. If you’re looking for an all-time solution to all your storage needs (something like a station to hold all heavy duty items like drills, basing cork etc), then this is not a good product for you. I certainly could not store every single item I had mashed inside the Battleforce box into the Project Box. This tool would work well if you want to move a few miniatures or some sub-assemblies that you need to work on to another location (like I did with the airbrush booth I had with my buddy in the past), and frankly nothing more. So first make up your mind about what you want to do with it. It still works for me as I wanted to downgrade from the large station I have to a smaller one.

Company Details

The sectioned off parts under the lid have a curious design: the bottom parts of the sections (where the cutting mat goes and the sides) are missing so anything that you put in there can slide off easily. That may cause accidents with the cutting mat for example if you drag your knife on the surface towards yourself to make a long cut and suddenly you move the mat onto you… not a good idea. I think GW could have implemented the working solution they had with the paint station and its cutting mat: once placed down it’s secure and doesn’t move. About the side spaces, it’s a mystery what was intended to be stored there. So I’m thinking of attaching the palettes with some putty and use like the paint station.
