I'm not sure how many figures, kits and castings I have in my stash, at least 400. I'm more comfortable about those, than I am about my model stash. I have at least 200 model kits, and I don't have the room to display the finished models, let alone to store the kits. I'm currently following another modeling resolution not to buy any new kits this year, but to work on existing projects and kits instead. So far, I've been able to keep to it. The last time I made that resolution was in 2007 or 2008, and I made it to the end of July before I saw a deal I couldn't pass up.

The resolution doesn't cover figures, though ;) I'm still always on the lookout for Staddens, Rose, I/R's, Phoenix, etc, for my 18 century collection.

Prost!

I don't know exactly how many figures I have in my grey army, but I'm sure I have for several lifes of painting.

However, the tragedy is that I always want to paint a figure that I don't have :mad:

After reading these posts, I feel like a real inadequate!! I don't posess a Grey Army at all - I only buy what I know I will finish! I do however, have many sculpts on the go at any one time, so I suppose that could count!

9 on the bench all partially painted, none of which are for me. 2000+ and growing every week sitting on shelfs in the figure room and the loft. I just keep adding to it every few weeks, so much nice stuff coming out all the time, will I ever paint it all, at 48 I doubt it but at least I have a choice when I want to paint something.

I feel totally distraught I only have four in the grey army !!
The rest was destroyed in the retreat from Russia some 25 years ago ;)

But got to admit there seems to be a heck of a lot of wood piling up ,what will i call that!!
If Alex Salmond gets his way it might be called firewood :whistle:
 
This is insane!

I have been in the figure modeling since 2009. My grey army is getting bigger and bigger each month. I have already 140 kits sitting on my shelfs. It is hard to stop. Almost every month I see release that I want to paint :)

I am so glad my wife understands it and supports my hobby :) I am pretty sure it would not work with an average woman :)

Happy painting to all and do not let those grey soldiers wait too long for a new home!

Yes Kev there are a few kits. I have a room that I use for storage and painting, most of the kits are fairly new. The rest of the older kits are shelved out in the walk in loft, really need to make a list of them all at some point. No idea of the value?
Cheers
