Lady Tam Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Too many! The Ral Partha Dragotha is still unfinished, as is the WOTC black Dragon, various small minis, another dragon in parts I think...Way too many. Maybe I should try and get motivated again...been in a bite of a lull lately. LT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Porsenna Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I have uncounted numbers of minis primed, unprimed, or half-painted (works in progress) as well as models. I tend to have "minis-ADD" and switch around subjects as the mood takes me. Sometimes I'll dedicate a lot of time to one thing if I'm writing a review (models, mostly). However, this does produce situations where I'll finish a very large number all at once. This weekend I put the finishing touches on 12 figures, and finished one model (a Panzer 38(t) Ausf C). I'm hoping to finish another dozen by the end of this week, too. Damon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabascojunkie Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I have about 20 completed minis, about 25 primed but not painted, maybe 10 that are out of the pack and bare metal and another 5 or 10 that are still in the pack. 3 have been dunked, 1 of which, Laurana, has been restarted but not finished, the other 2 are still bare metal. I also have an Assassin CAV that is about 80% done. I feel better because I actually finshed 5 minis for my Necropolis army last week or the uncompleted list would have been longer.

warlordgarou Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I am not getting rid of my unpainted lead. Call me superstitious, but I believe in the old gamer legend: When you finally have all of your miniatures painted. . . . YOU DIE! My unfinished GW Dwarf and O&G armies are just my life insurance. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well in my corner of the world in the basement I have about ten minis that I started but haven't finished yet. Some of them I lost my inspiration an I'm probably going to dunk them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 When you finally have all of your miniatures painted. . . . YOU DIE! I may not be superstitious, but that sounds like a valid reason for me to pick up more lead, even when I have shelves of unpainted figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePolo Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I've usually got about 5 minis in progress that'll just sit there for wayyyy to long on my workbench (as most others get started and finished in one go). I've also got about 5 or 10 that have graduated from sitting on the workbench (still in queue) to sitting on the shelves (no longer a priority).

Kheprera Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I haven't counted lately. All my painting stuff is still packed up awaiting me to finish my spring cleaning that I needed to do last year and didn't get done (I was pregnant). So, until everything gets done that I need to get done (which involves a couple pieces of furniture being moved and putting together my painting chair and filing cabinet) I'm not going to be painting. It's supposed to be inspiration, but I find I barely have time to do anything anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mengu Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I have a short list of figures I've started and not finished, other than works in progress. Needing bases, or with unfinished bases: Foo Dog A Troll A Halfling Some undead In various stages of incompleteness: A Wizard Two Monks (wonder twin powers activate monks) Two Bugbears (keep telling myself I'll get back to them) A Snakeman (started Origins '02) One other incomplete project is the fellowship I started painting, and stopped after completing only four.

dresch Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I probably have 100+ minis primed but othewise not started. I then have another 50 or so that have been started but not finished. These include some that are 90-95% finished, and would only require an hour or so to finish, as well as a piece I was working on for the Golden Demon contest 2 years ago, but ran out of time and couldn't finish it before the contest. I never did go back and finish the piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ler Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I have a half finished reaper dragon, reaper half elf and GW bloodletter. I have about 100 or so primed awaiting painting, including half my battletech regiment (which needs finishing for sunday =/ =/) and a bunch of stuff for my l5r camp.

sniffles Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I have been trying to stick to a philosophy of "I cannot buy anything new until I paint some of the old." So, if I want a Reven starter set, I have to paint that same number of existing minis before I can get it. It doesn't happen, but it's a philosophy all the same. . . . Wish I could stick to that. I'm always afraid the new ones I like will go OOP. Takes me too long to paint anything. I've probably got 2 dozen half-finished minis, and a dozen or so primed but not painted. And then there's the whole mass of painted ones that I want to repaint because I've improved since then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twjolson Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I usually keep 4 going at all times and don't put them back until done. If I get bored or run out of inspiration I may put them on the back burner and work on the other 3; but I don't put it back with the primed ones. I try to keep them differant, so as to have something matching what mood I am in to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittenkitten Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hmm. So I am not alone! Probably 20% of the minis I buy actually go on to be completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateybob Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 i tend to paint the majority of my stuff before buying more because i have past experience with how much stuff can pile up if you dont stop to paint i only have 4-5 unpainted minis atm...
