Spring Cleaning a Hobby Area

About the Project
I have been in and out and up and down with my hobby for some time. I find it hard to complete projects and stay focused on one thing. I have a lot of collected and started things to get done. I found that I'm not making the most of my time and need some dedication, some organization and a good place or atmosphere that would attract me more to complete some hobby projects. So my hobby area is a mish-mash space in the basement that keeps getting moved around where everything else seems to take priority and the hobby stuff takes a back seat. So for spring cleaning, I am doing just that, cleaning the basement and dedicating the proper space to provide me with the area I have always wanted and needed.

This Project is Completed
Clearing An Area & Dedicating Space
Second half of the room, planned for the painting area.
Flooring and trim down, some built in shelves to help maximize space. Fitting a Work Bench
Refinished (rattle canned) & re-used a simple Ikea table. 
After a good search found an adjustable height heavy work bench 52" x 24" (132cm x 61cm) and can raise to 38" (96cm). The adjust-ability is to ensure that I have storage space under it in case it is needed. Got this from Home Depot for around $200 US. Organizing & Storage
Got the models on the built in bookcase and found a small set of drawers/file cabinet to fit under the model bench.
Got things boxed up and labeled, using the last space in the closet that holds the comic book collection.
Organized and labelled projects in a multi drawer plastic organizer. 
The plastic bin drawers are lined with some heavy paper towels to keep everything for sliding around. They can be removed and set on the work bench so you can move your whole army/project at one time instead of individual pieces.Paint & Desk Top
Homemade paint rack for pots. Dropper bottles up with racks from Hobbyzone sprayed black. They are all mounted to the table instead of the wall for easy removal or rearrange down the road. Storage containers are little cheap units from the DIY store. Paint brush holder is a unit from Amazon and some new cut mats from there as well. Tip: I'm not sure where I got this from but, if you rack your dropper bottle paints and want a better visual of the color, put a drop on the cap and it will give you a better sense of the color and make it easier to find. Almost there just a few finishing touches to finish up.Call it Done
Some appropriate motivational art work up. 
Tune in to Gerry while you hobby.
Some nose art/pin up for classic military mood.
Needed a way to dress up a white closet. Inkjet on clear decal paper. 
And the hobby space feels complete. Now to get stuck in and start a real project.
