I am working on painting two WWI French figures with simple, straightforward uniforms. Not a complicated colour palette. No complex conversion work either. So after about 2 weeks of working on these figures, my desk looks like this:

I just realised it is complete chaos and my working area is getting smaller and smaller!

Is this normal, or do I need some form of therapy?

Ah, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
That's nothing! Here's my bench....



That "six square inches" that we talk about working on, is my lap.

Prost!

Nope, You don't need therapy, a bench like that is normal.
Mines just as bad if not worse.:LOL:

I order them direct from Airborne miniatures, this one should still be on there.

Yeah I think it is Steve, but I was trying to find somewhere closer considering how postage is these days, but I think I will bite the bullet and get it direct from him.

Cheer's,

Out of chaos comes forth beauty.

And good on yer for choosing the best modelling subject there is.
Some may disagree, but they're mistaken.
 
I haven't actually sat at my bench for the past two years. Two factors behind that.

One is that in the winter, it's a little too cold to sit in the basement, so I move up to the kitchen for the season.
The other is that I have a mobile kit, consisting of a large and a small tool box. I take these to meetings, meetups, etc. So I sit at the kitchen table and work out of those. But I didn't move back down last summer, and just left it all in the kitchen. This time, I will move back down, so I can eat at my kitchen table like a real human.

Prost!

You gotta keep all the paints you use OUT OF THE RACKS until you're done. Otherwise, how're you gonna know what to use for the inevitable retouching?

Unless you take meticulous notes on colors, proportions, and astrological positions ... :)

A big "YUP!" and a double thumbs up.
