Paint Table Saturday

Sofie, on her paint blog, has just asked people to post what they have on the painting table at present.  I have actually managed a couple of hours worth of painting today but won't get much more done as the parents in law are coming round for tea.

My painting area is very small; just the place where my keyboard usually goes in front of my computer monitor.  The advantage of it is the south facing floor to ceiling glass windows. On the left are a selection of steampunk figures I am working on together with the paints I am using for them.  On the right are some Orinoco Miniatures British Legion, more steampunk, Amazons for Jason and the Argonauts and my new Mirkwood Rangers.  My paint rack is buried under a pile of other bits including some steampunk vehicles.  I have two lamps with daylight bulbs but can't paint shading unless I have good natural daylight.  

Today I have been working on some Warriors of Erebor to go with my recently completed King Thror.  The light is tricky today as although it has been sunny the light is coming straight at me horizontally and casting deep shadows which is making it difficult to see detail on black undercoated figures.

I'm also working on the Irene Adler figure from the Empire of the Dead Requiem range at the moment as well.

My room is a tip as we have had to move a load of furniture into it to make way for the Christmas fairy forest.
