Aloa, jungle friends ...
It is about time to getting my cleaned workspace ready for ... uhm, yes some work finally :D
I was used to work with 3 lamps by Ikea with daylamp bulbs but somehow it felt after getting older that my eyes need some more light power. Battlefield-Berlin offered a solution as they have a very cool perfect Hobby Lamp to get my workspace ready for some action with good light again. I got to say that lamp isn't cheap - in fact all my 3 Ikea Lamps cost the same together, but there is a difference after assembling it to my workspace- here you can see my usual light I was used to work with:
And my workspace with the new lamp - hell yeah - I am looking forward to many hours on my workspace again and my old eyes will celebrate this magnificant light power. The Ikea Lamps are switched off in this photo - I guess you can see the same difference like I do - it really feels better as the daylight is a lot clearer than it was before.

Some more Danny Macaskill for keeping this post flavoured with a fine video and wonderful music again:
I was talking about working again after finishing the video cuts of Monte San Savino - I have prepared my next projects - the Goblin Spearman by RBG will be painted, based and prepared Allan Carrasco's Rhinotaure to paint it on the upcoming painting class for demonstration and explanation and there is also a little thinking old men getting some colour soon ... here you go - straight out of the process as usual - but with better light :)
Keep on happy painting all around the world!
Best Wishes

What company is releasing the Rhino? I have been searching for him ever since I saw the green sculpture.
The Rhino is sculpted by Allan Carrasco:

There is no company that sells it. I would suggest that you write directly to Allan via mail.
Der Typ in dem Vid hats ja echt drauf ! :-)
Ist das graue auf dem Sockel Milliput ?

Please remember that this is an international blog - language mixes are maybe hard for others to read.
In this case it is not Milliput - it is Magic Sculp. For basing there is not much difference between those two, for sure there is in sculpting.
Now I know what I want for christmas! :D Thank you Roman!
Im try find the lamp in the spanish marquet.. but is very dificult.. :(
Roman,
Thanks for the info about the lamp. Could you tell me a bit more - like the temperature of light (we've been using 4000K for some time, and it's hard to find anything in the 5000-5600K range here) or the type of lightbulb there. At Battlefield Berlin's site I saw it's a fluorescent lamp, but I am not sure if we would be able to find replacement bulbs here or would we have to buy them abroad via the internet again.
You know, a lot of the difference a lamp makes is in the bulb, so I am really curious.
Thanks lots and keep enjoying what you do!

I first saw this lamp at my painting class in Munich from 2 participants and I found out Battlefield Berlin got them in stock, but not many as far as I knew. It ain't easy to get them. I have searched too and as far as I know they are coming from the UK.
I am not sure if I am the perfect guy talking about technical stuff :D - but I try:
Ok, I seem to stupid - I don't get much information from the lamps box ... I try again next week as I am pretty busy at the moment with too many things and got to leave tomorrow for a painting class ... please be patient and if somebody finds out by himself, please don't hesitate to share your information with us here!
@Ayalejo try diotronic.com, search for item code VTLAMP6 (or go to one of their shops, if there is one in your city). It looks a lot similar to this one. Their main business is electronics, but they are a good and cheap source tools like tiny pliers, files or clamps.
