With regard to the miniature wargaming hobby, what is your worst habit? |

As a miniaturist, starting one project before I finish the previous one.
As a wargamer, making decisions based on the historical situation and tactics without paying enough attention to scenarios and rules.
As a human being, I grumble, shift blame, and don't follow through. And of course that has an impact on the hobby. |

Possibly farting. It's not bad when I'm painting -- especially spray-painting, which is done outside -- but indoors with friends. I try to keep them silent so it's hard to identify the source. |

As a miniaturist, I often keep a pretty messy work space. As a person, I really like to be right, though I think I've made strides over the last forty years or so. |

Being so blasted OCD when it comes to painting, foregoing the "three foot rule" for the "three inch with an Optivisor" rule. While others crank out regiments and even battalions, I struggle to complete companies. |

Hmm – a combination of a messy work place and not finishing off things |

Something that I wouldn't comment in polite company. |

Extrabio has a nice point. I should show up to Hurricon next Saturday with my Optivisor on--I'm sure I'll make lots of friends.  |

A messy work space. I'm also space challenged. I have a small room for all my figures, terrain, winter coats, freezer, general storage etc. etc. |

Thinking I would stop buying figures now I've reached the big 70. But found I'm a figure paintaholic and just can't stop buying them to paint. |

Getting distracted from the master plan. |

The same problem in my "real" life, failure to follow through and finish anything. |

My work area is a mess, I paint better for friends/clients than I do for myself, I don't have time for that new-fangled quickie game concept, and I'm a real fussbudget about the look of the tables. |

My biggest problem is procrastination…..I'll tell you about it later.
Seriously, I have games that are planned weeks in advance, with plenty of time to get a unit or two painted for the game, and I wait. I don't know why, but I just tend to push it off and then three or four days before the game I am painting late into the night, and usually finishing the figures two hours before a game. I once painted, based, and glossed a 16 man unit of French cavalry in 25 hours. After I had glossed them, I had two hours until the game. You could smell the gloss all day, but I finished them. |

Collecting "possibles" for (always) future terrain or figure modification. Then never getting around to utilize my "treasures". |
