I'm just setting up my work area. I got a paint stand, (linked below). I put all the small stuff that wouldn't fit on the stand in a small box, and then put everything on a shelf that's up against my desk. Because I'm doing this on one side of my L-shaped home desk, I also got an extra-large silicone placemat to protect my dest from paint and glue. I'm still figuring things out though, so take that into consideration. Also, my paint stand is from the same brand as my paint, Vallejo, so it won't fit every brand. Good luck!
