so many awesome pieces, how do you find time to paint all this
1. Work at it for many years and...
2. Have other people do some of the painting.

3. Develop quick painting techniques
Some of the stuff is Armorcast display terrain (overhead pipes, soda can tanks) painted by Shawn Lux for our catalog and web site photos, that I kept when Armorcast was sold. Sean Patten (
http://www.ironhands.com/) painted the Plasticville building in trade for some Armorcast terrain.
I did all the parts prep and priming for the models to be painted for the Armorcast catalog/web site. This usually involved prepping and priming three to five of each piece of twenty+ single and multi-part kits per release, so I've worked out assembly line techniques for priming pieces using many Rubbermaid lazy susans and a small spray booth with vent fan.
All of the gray washed pieces were recently washed while watching seasons one and two of Battlestar Galactica on borrowed DVDs.

Most of the rest of the painting of all these pieces will be drybrushing and stippling in lighter shades of gray, blue, green, purple, orange and red, followed by thin washes in similar colors. Details will be picked out with heavier washes because its much quicker to paint detail with heavily thinned paint or washes.
The catwalks and platform between them in the center of the Misc stuff photo give an idea of how these techniques can work at providing a more "theatrical" (as GW calls it) experience. Click on the photo to enlarge it a little bit. Will post some close ups of these pieces soon.
