Taff.....Taff...(sigh).
You may not know this you dear modelling fan, but, every year without fail, someone on Planet tries to show they have the scruffiest bench, overloaded shelving, too many on the go at one time, and so on.
The result is we all bolster each othet's flagging egos and guilt by saying " Huh... you think you have it bad ..check this out".
The only lesson from this is that if you have a black cat, someone here will have a blacker one, or will recommend you give yours a coat of Jo Sonia/Lamp Black/ or doom night darkness from the wobbly wizard shop to enhance the detail.
My earnest hope is that you will soon dispel any feeling if how your bench SHOULD look in the eyes of other creatures, particularly any offspring or she who makes you feel guilty. Buy even more kits until they are stacked higher than you and loom over you shoulder like the drunken piles of books in an animated disneyesque library, climb into the middle and enjoy your 'happy space',
All 6 square inches.......you owe it to yourself
Then and only then can you rightfully call yourself
a true Planeteer. See you there soon.

Peedee speaks the TRUTH. The only answer to any question that will always make sense on this forum is "buy more figures".
Chris, anyone who has a work bench that isn't covered in tubes of paint, random bits of wire, empty coffee mugs full of mould, CD's without covers, paintbrushes, the little clear plastic paint brush sleeves, blobs of blu-tak, loose bits of resin dust from the last time you used the dremel, pipe cleaners, tea towels your wife doesn't know you use to wipe your brushes on, half painted figures, a random spare head from a figure you no longer have, masking tape, empty clear plastic bags, printed out photos from Google Images, colour mixing books, various files and scraping tools, cans of primer, glass jars for storing brushes, various small dishes and bowls for water and paint mixes, a cutting board etc etc isn't really a figure modeller.
Frankly I'm surprised you have room for any figures on your workbench.

Chris Tony is being unduly modest and has obviously tidied up a bit. (Probably got the M-I-L) staying soon.
He may even think he doesn't want you to set a low enough standard.
It would be wise to tuck away just of sight but where you can catch your elbow every session on some grip bags with a film of dust, holding spare parts for figures you have put aside and you knoe are in the bottom of that box next door safe near some old instruction sheets with coffee mug ring stains (minimum 19 overlapped).
Final touches would include a boiled sweet still in it's wrapper but so sticky you will never touch it to put it in the rubbish and a couple of heavy innapropriate unrelated weird lumps that can be used as paperweights, and a picture of the Mrs/someone's Mrs/ someone your friends might think could be attracted to you that you keep immaculately clean in case they see it.
Hoping this is in some way a small help for your hobby idealsI offer my sincere regards.

If you can find something within 5 seconds then you're not doing it right
My usual endless loop (and I would put money on it being the same everywhere):
1. Notice bench/shed/painting corner/dining table (delete as applicable) is perhaps a wee bit untidy, usually after your significant other kindly points this out as you will obviously be blind to it.
2. Grudgingly admit defeat and start putting paints back on the rack, brushes into holders etc. until you've cleared the decks and brushed/wiped all the debris from your work area. It is now spotless, like something you'd see in a tools catalogue.
3. Wait 5 minutes (Go and have a cuppa)
4. GOTO 1.

We've three of the buggers - 2 Siberian forest cats and an old moggy.
Just some thoughts: Colin's cat looks the most appetising and its fur would make the best hat. The first of Jazz's looks wonderfully malevolent and the second looks gentlemanly.
Anytime people want animal musings just ask...
