Zero. But the HAT plastics look excellent in terms of range and box composition.

50% of my painted miniatures.

WWII, Napoleonic and 30 year war in 1/72.
Ancients are 15mm miniatures

I'm slowly moving from metal to plastic in both 15 and 28mm, but got out of soft Airfix type plastic as soon as I was able to afford to (way back in the 70's).

It wasn't until the advent of the internet that I discovered so many top quality plastics, but I can't justify a 3rd wargaming scale…

Its about 10% and growing in number but about 80% in time on the table. I just enjoy the 1/72's more.

As plastics become ever more wargame friendly I imagine this %age may increase

ACW marching types

Except for about 250 painted metal 28 mm ACW figures and 300-400 unpainted metal 28 mm ACW, all of my hundreds and hundreds of painted figures and all of my hundreds of unpainted figures are 1/72 and 1/76 plastic.

In 20mm (I use 1/87/HO through 1/72 as available) it's 99% percent. I may be the outlier, but I think the plastic figures usually look more realistic then most metal figures.

In 6mm it's 98% metal. I've got a few "off-brand" plastic SCI-FI tanks that are employed as Ogres.

Small possibly zero. At one time it was large but most went brittle and broke up. Any left are not used for there originally intended purpose but are used as small 28mm or large 15mm if they stilll exist.
