How big is yours?

[Colonel Kilgore]

Glad to see you got your priorities right when deciding what to keep!

Goodness me Martin. I thought I had a lot 😂

[Leslie BT]

Good man Martin, your hearts in the right place keeping all the PP miniatures and making room for more armies!!

I have quite a lot of both...

Over 10 years ago I decided to photograph and put on my blog all the models I painted... I usually update it weekly so you can see my output here: https://mellis1644.wordpress.com/ I'm not the greatest painter or camera guy but it has kept me going and show all my finished work. I do occasionally put up game reports etc but most of the the time it's completed models.

I have never gone back and taken pics of the stuff I did before really starting the blog... I may do that at some point as I likely want to rebse those anyway.

My guess is I must have 10,000+'s painted - especially if I count 15mm figs individually. If counting 10mm & 6 mm then that figs is low...I have 500+ bases (1 inch square) of 10mm ACW stuff alone.

For unpainted... well I likely have the same amount waiting in the wings. I am actually trying to finish some of my started but unfinished projects to just get them off the painting table. But I have a lot of those so may not succeed that well.

My biggest problem is Scenery, I have loads of boxes of it. And I need more ? Jungle and winter I ve yet to do ?
Figures? Most people that know and have been round know of my "Tank" collection? I am building more storage next year to cope and store correctly.
My unpainted collection is as big as most others I think ?
I do have a large collection of 20mm unmade kits which I am selling off, but any money made does go into funding other modelling projects.
Now I ve got my Hobby cabin I only have a certain amount of storage space now, but that's quite big ? But it is for both made and unmade projects and all the other stuff we need and collect ?
These pictures are only to show roughly what I have ?

Painted figures I own-----------approx 30,000 15mm------------20 28mm---------100,000 2mm
Unpainted about 600 15mm and 10 28mm-ECW skirmish rules.

I have just re-started my 15mm Cossacks from last year but then found 200 Samurai from PP that need doing and then found a few hundred Swiss--but have no interest in them.

I am more painter than gamer

Grief - how much does The Really Useful Box company rely on wargamers?



And that isn't even all of them and more are on order as well 

[Norm]

I have around that number. I read somewhere that 'lead rot' is a chemical reaction between lead and fumes given off by wood and therefore by implication, cardboard, so (if true) the inert qualities of the plastic box are just another tick for the RUB.

Dammit, Just found another load of unpainted HYW French Mercenary units. Will adjust my figure above now.

[Spartacus]

Well, In the few days since my last post on this topic I have done 24 HYW French---about 100 ECW and nearly finished replacing my pikes from plastic to metal on all my ECW----Still to go, around 100 Samurai arquebusers---still have 300 mounted Cossacks to go. Reduced my mountain of unpainted by giving my mates son a full French TYW army from New Testudo--Now Khurosan was his joint birthday and Xmas gift.

When I get this lot finished I may go to pieces of eight---Rules on the way. the ships look like an easy paint. And I really like Pirates!!! One of which will surely be Captian Pugwash aboard the "Black Pig"  Rest will be taken from the series "Black sails" which I thought was amazingly good.

I have relented and made a 4ft x 3ft grid table and have a full grid mat coming for my big table---The jury is still out on this---Have to see if I can adjust rules for grid tables to big tables, I like games that take a long time.-------------------More to follow.

[Leman (Andy)]

Since I last posted I have started painting 24 ECW figures.

[Spartacus]

100 Samurai arquebusers and 40 ECW casualty markers (warbase) finished. Found another 100 HYW French allies.

Still have this daunting task of 100s of Cossack cavalry.

[Leman (Andy)]

Now bagged separately 6 ECW battalia for painting, plus some commanded shot. Probably use those in 2 base units.
