What happens to those miniatures of yours that you just have never gotten around to painting? (a) I never give up in the hope that some day, I will get them painted.
(b) I just try not to think about it.
(c) I find a friend who will paint them for me.
(d) I give them away to a friend if they promise to paint them.
(e) I will eventually sell them if I can find a buyer.
(f) I intend to donate them to charity (tax write-off).
(g) I will pass them to my wife/children/etc. (I have already included them in my last will and testament).
(h) __________________________ (something else) |

I sold a bunch of them. Those that didn't sell either were saved or some of them got banned. |

mostly (a), but some go to a variation of (c) -- not necessarily to a friend who promises to paint them, but to a friend who wants them, even if only to cannibalize for conversions |

A good helping of A & B. But I've gotten better about being realistic with what I will never get back around to, and those I sell. |

(a) – I'm working through the lead pile – just painting some GHQ 25mm C18 Black Watch acquired in the late 1970s! |

I am just now painting Hinchliffe Prussian Hussars (25mm), bought some thirty years ago. Right before them I painted 15mm Turkish WW I figures (Lancashire Games). So, "a", with changing "in the hope of" to "knowing" ! |

(a)
(h) I will save them in case a new set of rules needs 2 more figures per unit. |

Luckly they are the exception, my problem is not enough to paint. |

Some given away, sold some & need to sell more…sigh |
| KSmyth | 26 Mar 2017 4:50 a.m. PST |
a, mostly a. I'm a sucker and always believe I'll paint them. But if I don't, I'd love to give them to a friend who will. K. |

I am told that I will not die if I still have unpainted figures. I will be immortal |
