Evilhalfling Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Quizzles for 22 & 23 August! 22: What one mini do you still want to acquire? One Mini????? there was a tooth fairy bust that I have always yearned for, perhaps some day when the kids outgrow nightmares, WIP by @Rahz or I ever actually paint some of my bust collection (1 painted, 6 unpainted) Also GWs Lord of Change - (a Paragon of the Vrock Demon Form) 23: Are you a collector, player or painter primarily? Painter. I started as a player, but even as the games I needed minis for dried up, I have continued to purchase and paint. (except busts those apparently, I just collect) Edited August 22, 2020 by Evilhalfling 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you by chance know which country they are based in? Want to be able to estimate shipping time and such (or find out if I'm going to end up on a DHS watchlist). I believe they are Russian so you might get a visit from some counterintelligence officials. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think that makes me a collector by default. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some amazing minotaur sculpted by Allan Carrasco. 1 hour ago, Auberon said: I believe they are Russian so you might get a visit from some counterintelligence officials. Fantastic. Good thing I'm never running for public office, otherwise such a purchase could be construed as "foreign business relations." Imagine the scandal... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've acquired a lot. Probably K0-Hana. 23: Painter. I play, but minis are kinda optional in our games (esp now). I am starting to collect painted pieces from other artists... I've actually gotten pretty excited about doing this, but need to pace myself financially and get a good display case. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a specific mini in mind, but someday I really want to paint a parrot. I love painting birds, and what's better and more colorful than a parrot? Primarily painter, with a splash of playing thrown into the mix. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I think about it, I don't think there is any one miniature in particular I still want to acquire...which is probably why I am not watching the auction site much. The one mold I'm particularly looking for is one of the 1930s Buck Rogers molds, one with a robot, a one-eyed man, and a spaceship... I think I am a player primarily (I mean, it's been years since I got in less than an average of a game every other week)...everything I paint is, at least theoretically, intended for a game. I do have a slight (?) problem with a family collecting gene, but it's still generally stuff that is gathered with a game in mind.

I used to say I was a painter, but now I just admit that I mostly collect unpainted minis, lol. My primary collecting goal at the moment is the acquisition of all the old Ral Partha Official 2nd Edition AD&D minis. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of anything I'm frantic to acquire right now. There are a lot of good sculpts out there but I'm really "meh" on most of the high fantasy stuff, more interested in gaming pieces, and haven't seen any new concepts in a few years. I've also cut back on my buying of stuff just for the sake of spending money. 23: Painter. I have a huge collection, and I game with it like lots of people, but mine is painted. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the stranger ones, lot of busts from European sculptors... But I also have many already that I have not painted so I'm "trying" to be good... 23: A collecting painter who aspires to be more of the latter and return to being a player. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably find the Serpent on eBay and just reach out to Iron Wind Metals to see if they have mold for the vehicle. And maybe I'll go that route someday. 23: Prior to 2020 I'd say player first, painter second. But our group is on temporary hiatus, so that's changed to painter first and player second for the time being. Not really a collector as nearly everything I get is intended for gaming. Except maybe some of the cuter stuff like mouslings. Those are for making my wife smile. Although I'd run a game where you play anthropomorphic mice in a second if there was interest. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to cheat and say the Vex airbrush, because it will help with Q23. I'm trying to acquire the GW Tomb Kings collection for my Egyptian Frostgrave/RoSD, so I'd really like a chance to own a necrosphinx at a reasonable price. I am a painter who is ashamed she never does anything with all her little pretties, so I've become more of a gamer. I'm trying to collect and fill out armies for Lord of the Rings, but other than that, I pick minis I like that I can use in games and enjoy painting. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's even up for sale anymore, but there used to be a model on Etsy of a Zentraedi flagship... And yes, I would have based it for gaming somehow. I'd say I'm a player(ish). RPG stuff can be bought willy-nilly under the excuse of "just in case", but just about everything else I'd only get if I could actually use it in a game. (The odds of actually playing said game are irrelevant.) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
