What percentage of your collection of painted figures consists of 1:72nd scale plastic figures? |

20%….. several thousand soldiers and vehicles. Many seen on the blog Wargamerabbit. Other collections 40% napoleonic, 30% ancients, and 10% other periods/naval for a rough breakdown. |
| Bunkermeister | 22 Oct 2018 6:22 p.m. PST |
95% mostly unpainted. The rest metal, or other scales. My estimate is 200,000+ Mike Bunkermeister Creek

Of painted 1/72 less than 3%. Unpainted about 25%. |
| Zephyr1 | 22 Oct 2018 7:47 p.m. PST |
About 50% of about 20,000 |

Up until a few weeks ago they had all been retired. I still get Christmas cards from them in Belize. Seriously, I've just started painting Hittite and Egyptians to do Kadesh. They have the advantage of numbers, so maybe ten percent. |

Not zero but close to it. x42 |

More than 95% I reckon. Some metal for commanders and officers, and speciality pieces – like the pontooniers from Franznap. That is in terms of what I use. I do have metal 15s and some 25s, but they don't get out much |

99% 1/72nd, 80% of my Collection is plastic, the rest metal or resin…actually painted…around about 25% |
| nickinsomerset | 23 Oct 2018 12:23 a.m. PST |
5%, ACW and WW1, Tally Ho! |
| Green Tiger | 23 Oct 2018 1:14 a.m. PST |
80% – its probably the best bit… |

5%, I did a 1/72 plastic "battle of Dorylaeum" from the First Crusade (to have my students play through when we read "Gesta Francorum") But, the rest of my collection is 28mm (mostly) metal. |
 20thmaine | 23 Oct 2018 5:01 a.m. PST |
~50% When it's all painted (stop laughing at the back!) ~90% |
| Rich Bliss | 23 Oct 2018 5:02 a.m. PST |
For my WWII collection, around 70%. For everything else, 0 |

All most nothing, but 20-30% of my unpainted pile. |
| Philotep | 23 Oct 2018 8:47 a.m. PST |
Among the painted figures, about 80%. |
 Sgt Slag | 23 Oct 2018 9:36 a.m. PST |
25%, by numbers. I use them for fantasy races, in proper proportion, next to 25mm-28mm Humans, per the sizes listed in the 1977 AD&D Monster Manual sizes. Work extremely well to demonstrate Gygax's ideas on proportions. Cheers! |

| Texas Jack | 23 Oct 2018 9:53 a.m. PST |
With figures only, no planes or ships, then 95% for sure. |

| John Leahy | 23 Oct 2018 10:12 a.m. PST |
Yeah, about 50% sounds about right. Last I checked had a 1000 boxes of them and about another 3-400 opened up. |
| Oberlindes Sol LIC | 23 Oct 2018 10:15 a.m. PST |
When you say "percentage of your collection," do you mean by number of figures and vehicles, by volume, by weight, by amount spent, by current value, or by some blend of those percentages? Are we to include terrain and buildings, or just figures and vehicles? By volume occupied in storage, and excluding terrain and buildings, my rough estimate is 10%. Inclusion of terrain and buildings brings that number down a lot, because I don't have any terrain specific to 1/72. I do have some terrain that works with any scale, such as foam hills and rock formations, hills made of sheets of foam core (like those used by architects), and alien plants. |
| dantheman | 23 Oct 2018 11:40 a.m. PST |
Based on the number of trays, I would say 20%, all ACW. The rest are about 50% 25mm and 30% 15mm, all different periods FWIW. |
| 377CSG | 23 Oct 2018 2:01 p.m. PST |
10% – mostly plastic HaT. |

About 50%. (Another 30% being 1/32 scale plastic and 20% 28mm) |
