Hobby Home Improvements: Building a Better Hobby Desk

Hi everyone,

Today I thought I'd do something a bit different from the usual painting post and take a deep dive into one of the oft unexplored realms of the hobby - the ubiquitous hobby desk. 

We've all got one; whether it's a tiny corner of the kitchen table or an entire garden office dedicated to nothing but the glory of your miniature collection, no hobby enthusiast can do without this most essential tool. For myself, I've often just settled for whatever space I could find. It's never been ideal, it's rarely ever been spacious, but it's allowed me to clip, file and paint my way to a surprisingly large collection of models.

However, having just recently moved home, I've been presented with a rare opportunity to design my own room; and with it, the chance to build my perfect hobby zone. My previous set up was far, far away from functional. Sharing the space with my PC and digging through an old Citadel Hobby Project Box (these things sound like a great idea up until the first moment you actually use them) to find my paints/tools for the day was not the best start to a hobby session. 

So what then would I change? What exactly constitutes a perfect hobby desk in the madness that is my mind?

Unboxing: Marvel Crisis Protocol, by Medge

Avengers! Assemble!

When I heard Captain America say these words in the final act of Avengers Endgame I, like many fans of the MCU, went mad with excitement.

Today I get to relive that same excitement as I delicately unwrap the plastic from my copy of Marvel Crisis Protocol, the miniatures game by Atomic Mass Games.

I welcome you all to join me on my journey as I explore the model range, the game, and start to build the collection of model's I've dreamed of owning since I first got into Miniatures gaming 20 years ago.

So happy to have this on my lap right now...
