Completely agree Ron. Unfortunately for me that realization didn't hit me until I'd bought loads. Now I probably only use between 8-12 different tubes for per figure. Some of the paints that I thought I needed have remained unopened.

I do have plenty more Roger but these are the ones I use , and off course there is an array of Acrylics for undercoating scale 75 , umbral and tamiya

I think I might follow your example Ron and put my most used oils in a seperate box or tin. I can see it making life a bit easier.
I'll call it the Uncle Ebenezer Balfour Box.... I can't think of a Yorkshire miser.

Perhaps it was someone else's money?

Let's see, accumulated in almost 40 years :
25/30 oils
12 enamel ( Humbrol )
5 acrylics ( in tubes) for structuring
5 dry pastel stick
and very cheap chinese oils ( 5€ the set of 12 ) for painting grounds, and dioramas

Good man, I knew there was a reason why the Belgians are so good at brewing beer.
