New versions of the GCmini Painting Stations

Today GCmini are officially announcing the release of version 2 of our Portable Painting Stations. These new Painting Stations are a result of much customer feedback and suggestions.

The original Painting Station designs remain available, these new designs give you more options.

These painting stations are based on our existing Painting Stations but increase the number of paint bottles you can store on the station. These are perfect for projects that require a larger number of colors and just the answer for people that do not have a dedicated workbench where they can store their paints on a paint rack. Military personnel living in the barracks, students in the dorms, cross country truck drivers, and city dwellers with small apartments will all love this new design.

The Version 2.0 Painting Stations are fully compatible with our Painting Station add-ons such as the LED light bar, drawer kit, and water bottles.

New Project Boxes From GCmini

Today GCmini announced a new line of products to help keep your shop and workbench organized. GCmini's owner says "These are products that some people will look at and say "What? they're just boxes", and others will say "holy crap, I've been waiting for something like this forever". We've made them for the second group".

We are calling these Project Boxes, they are small, durable, and stack-able boxes for storing projects you are working on, materials, tools, parts, etc. These will go nicely in a drawer, on a shelf, or on your workbench. The Project Boxes come in two different sizes; 4" x 6" and 4" x 12" and both sizes are available in two heights; 1 3/8" and 2 3/4" making a total of four different size combinations.

I'm going to get a lot of use out of these as I always seem to have a dozen different projects going at once on my bench and I need a good way to keep everything relating to a project together organized, in one container and have the ability to move them out of the way when another project takes priority.

We've added a few new products to the Tools section of our website, with a selection of sculpting putties, some abrasive pads and a pack of Humbrol flat brushes now available!

On the putties side we've got packs of Magic Sculpt and Green Stuff, as well as the Milliput Standard and Terracotta. The Milliputs are handy to have around for basic filling and repair work, while the Magic Sculpt and Green Stuff are of more use for full sculpts or conversion jobs.

The micro abrasive foam-backed pads are very flexible, soft-backed pads which are easy to use and don't need a backing support pad, unlike normal abrasive sheets. Every pad is abrasive on both sides with the same grade. These are ideal for curved surfaces and can be washed and re-used. Each pad measures 50mm x 50mm (2"x2") in size and can be used on soft woods, plastics, painted surfaces and for finishing metals. This pack contains 9 pads in grades: - 1500 - 1800 - 2400 - 3200 - 3600 - 4000 - 6000 - 8000 - 12000

And finally we've added a pack of Humbrol flat paintbrushes as well. These brushes are made from high quality soft synthetic hair, perfect for creating a smooth professional finish and ideal for painting large surface areas, weathering, adding washes and helping to apply decals. This pack contains four different brushes, sizes 3, 5, 7 and 10, suitable for both enamel and acrylic paints.

The evolution of the Painting Station Light continues. This new version features two strips of lights and is about 4" taller than the original Painting Station lights. If you have a GCmini Portable Painting Station, you really need to get this add on. The light it provides you when painting is very helpful. The extra 4" in height does not sound like a lot, but it's a real game changer. Having a little extra working room under the light makes a difference you will notice right away.

Cross Shaped Clear Bases

Cross shaped Clear Bases -

These are 25mm round bases, as an experiment we cut them down to a cross shape to see how they would work. We were surprised that figure stability increased as the cross shape could sit between small rocks and other terrain detail instead of sitting on top at an angle and that figures could be placed easier in and around terrain and that figures could be placed a lot closer together than the 'open order' or round or square bases.
