Then store them away in the drawer they will inhabit. This, in theory, keeps me on top of storage space and I always know where miniatures are when the mood strikes me to paint them. <br /><br />Unfortunately when the mood strikes I generally shift too many of what I want to paint to the paint table. Usually I work in batches of six to twelve, occasionally more, but on average ten. But I'll move, say, all three squads of a platoon to the painting table, finish one... but by then some other mood has struck and I've moved some other project on to the table (thrity of them) without removing the twenty remaining from the first thing... <br /><br />The other way things seem to accumulate is by tiny amounts. I'll find a couple solitary figures - like the ones in this very post - and think to myself I'll work on these while I'm working on the current project. Y'know while waiting for stuff to dry or whatever. And I DO do that - work on side things but I'll maybe finish one unrelated character figure while working on a squad/unit of something else... but meanwhile it's been three days and each of those days I brought out one to three character figures to work on... suddenly there's a half dozen polluting my table!? <br /><br />I'm trying to be a bit more judicious about this now. Only having one current project on the table, one "on deck" waiting in the wings and no more than a half dozen odds and sods!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-28154893960009686432010-06-22T17:21:14.656-07:002010-06-22T17:21:14.656-07:00Nice work!

I wouldn't want to cross that Shadowforge gal!<br /><br />I tend to go in fits and starts - recently I had painted most of my "prepped" minis so I got into "prepping" mode for a while and now I have a bunch prepped. I have left most put away and try to only pull out the ones I'm currently painting.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-12342796334001359562010-06-22T16:46:04.969-07:002010-06-22T16:46:04.969-07:00Lovely miniatures.

I find having one I'm prepping,one I'm painting and one I'm basing is just about right. Gives me some flexibility (depending on my mood) and also allows enough drying time if I switch between projects.<br /><br />No idea who the mystery figure is from; not mine! Now if it was a dead cowboy, it would definitely be one of mine.Bob Barnetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164225489620639641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-72321958269432532502010-06-22T11:09:32.697-07:002010-06-22T11:09:32.697-07:00Also, I like the civilian types...
