How often do you give away your miniatures to others and what qualifies them to you to receive your models? I have given about a dozen over the past year to the kids in the neighborhood, another dozen to a friend of mine and his son. I painted up a 28mm Viking warband and gave it away as a Xmas gift for my son-in-law. |

If I feel that a young friend of one of my sons has shown an interest or had a particularly good time I will give him a few mins maybe even custom paint a mini for him or give him minis to paint. It is well worth the effort in spreading interest in the hobby! Los p.s. After last year's Huzzah where my son did a great job at the Viking raid he was practically showered with nice minis and even a ship by the GM and fellow gamers. And we got some unpainted forces which have subsequently been painted up. These little kindnesses have helped solidify a future gamer. |

A couple of years ago, I painted up a set of mercenaries for Marauder6 and included a nice box for them to stay in until deployed.. That's the last time I've done it. I try to do it, but most of the gamers around me don't play the games I do… |

Liking what I do is often enough .. |

When I acquired large amounts of Starship Troopers figures for dirt cheap I gave a couple of my friends their own Mobile Infantry platoons. Other than that, I think it's mostly been a box here or a figure there as Christmas gifts. |

I've given things away over the years to kids who have expressed an interest in gaming. |

I've given minis to (non-annoying) kids at my flea market tables (not without a parental nod of approval, though) |

I really like painting stuff for the Toys for Tots auction. DM |

Last Christmas, I gave a few figures, painted & unpainted to my gaming buddies. I figured they deserved something for putting up with me. |

When my son was still with me, I gave him and friends any extra figures I didn't need(marching, drummers, firing, etc) to paint while I did. I just gave him an early Bday gift of a painted un-Billy Jack. He loved it(so he said). |
