The other half of the newly "reclaimed" 8x8 ft storeroom will be used as a scenery workbench. The actual workbench is 5 ft by 3 feet which will provide plenty of room for just about any scenery project - from basing to 2x4 ft terrain panels.
This is the first time I've managed to get all my scenery stuff in one place so hopefully that will increase productivity - or at least reduce time wasted looking for stuff!
I slapped together some extra shelving for my scenic materials - I'll be testing different types of arrangements to see what works best.
The workbench is 18 years old and was my first woodworking project - it's help up nicely and weighs a ton.
My collection of tufts in a nice storage box. I'll build some other cabinets to store terrain over the next few days.
My first project in the new space - staining some Egyptian themed dungeon tiles from Lunesdargent Workshop. These will be used in my upcoming Historicon games "Dak & Dragons" / "SOCOM & Sorcery". Last year I only had enough tiles to make five of the six 2x2 ft dungeon sections - I used some Dwarven Forge cavern tiles for the sixth. It just didn't look right - that's not a knock on the DF stuff, it just didn't fit the theme. With these new tiles I can build out the sixth section and have a much more uniform flow for the terrain.
By the way - I highly recommend the Lunesdargent stuff - it looks great, is durable, and the Egyptian theme makes them very different form the standard grey dungeon terrain.
Nice bench,great to have a dedicated scenery workshop!
