Damn thats a difficult queston to ask, you know damn well most of us have a mountain of unpainted figures so that we live longer compared to the couple of display cabinets of painted stuff.

I refuse to answer the follow-up question on the grounds that the number is just too large. Plus I keep stripping things and starting over, so it fluctuates a lot.
Hell, I\'ve been working on one mini for over 9 months with no progress to show for it (unless you count a bathroom sink clogged with paint stripped off of it so many times).

I probs have 200:1 painted to un painted ratio
So if any of you guys have some spare metal you want painting...

Oh I\'m easily off the top end of the scale although the vast majority of the stuff I have was bought during my time working for big bad GW, I dread to think what it would all have cost at RRP. My Praetorian army alone cost me something in the region of £40-£50 if I got it now it would set me back well over £500!
I\'m still working through assembling it all let alone painting it even though I left three years ago.

I\'m off the chiz-arts!
22 years doing this from semi serious to spending everything I can! I won\'t factor the buying a house with a sperate building to store and play my games even. In the time I was in the hospital from last week to a couple of days a go I still managed to spend about 600$ in used/new stuff without access to a phone, computer, or wallet! That\'s impressive, innit!
As for insurance, do it! Here it was easy for me. If you define something as a collectable, you don\'t have to provide much for paperwork or anything. Just some pics of your stuff (keep them updated) with an apporximate value.

What a great poll.
Between some commission pieces, a few competition winners off ebay, 9 years in the hobby, and a recent push to snap up all the Rackham metal I could find . . . I\'m guessing $10,000 plus. Easy. Which is really ridiculous when you think about it. Especially compared to the percentage of this amount that\'s gone toward mini\'s I\'ve actually painted . . .

Can we please have two poll charts?
One for our serious vote and another for our spouses or significant others incase the sneek a peek over our shoulders when voting or viewing results?:duh:
I can\'t be the only person who brings home a couple of hundred dollars worth of goodies only to tell my inquiring husband it only cost me 50 bucks .... or that the brand spanking new mini I am putting together has been sitting in storage for months and he just hasn\'t seen it.
Although I think he has an inkling that my scrapbook supplies that would be way off the chart here is worth more than the thousand dollars I have told him.

I am almost always the one that collects the post.
I have taken to abusing the \"48 hour\" rule.
I hide the new arrivals until I am ready to work on them.
