0 GW paints, 2 Golden (thats the manufacturer not colour:)) and 7 inks. Plus flow enhancer, retarder, gloss medium FFW and 5 spray varnishes (none of which came out matt and so I now have brush on matt varnish in a tub so big I don\'t think I will ever use it all!)

49 GW colors for me, come of which I don\'t think I\'ve ever used (purples), and some which I almost never have used (all the metalics)

But that\'s just a new collection, rev. How many will you have in another couple of months, hm?

I neeeeever thought I\'d use purple or turquoise. Now I love \'em. I didn\'t intend painting a lot of bone either, but bone is brilliant for highlighting. All the greens that I did intend to use are sitting idle. :rolleyes:

Because I didn\'t know any better.
I think last time I painted a space marine I used about 6 different blues.
After taking Klutes\' \"skin up\" class, I\'m doing one now with only 3 to achieve the same result.

136 total, not counting ~15 I have stored in a box and don\'t use (mostly RalParthas). And not counting the 32 craft paints (AppleBarrel, FolkArt, etc) that I only use for terrain.

45 GW, 2 Reaper, 1 Freak Flex, 1 Ral Partha, 1 Polly S, 1 Tamiya, 20 washes/inks (12 GW, 4 Vallejo, 4 customs). The rest are Vallejo.

Funny thing is that I actually need more this weekend, as I\'m running out of Snakebite Leather and Bleached Bone. ^_^

Don\'t really need any more paint, but I would love Finns little paint shaker for my birthday!:D

A ton. I would guess in the 200-300 range. These include some great old paints that still haven\'t dried up to this day.

The old Polly S Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Range (I still use Gnoll Flesh when highlighting yellows).

Tons of GW in the old paint pot with the snap top, including lost greats like the Metallic Paint Set.

RalPartha paints including their limited edition silks and satins, including one Dragon Scale Cream.

A bunch of Testors that I use mainly for models.

A brand new set of Vallejho\'s received for xmas.

Tons more.

NEVER use the word \"little\" when discussing a man\'s tool :D

Paint? Let\'s see. Extensive sets of tubes, both acrylics and oils, I recieved for Christmas, approx. 45 tubes of watercolor, about 20 pan watercolors, a dozen tubes of gouache, 9 bottles of glass paint, 6 bottles of photo retouching ink, 6 bottles of W&N ink, 3 ink stones, 9 bottles of Liquitex liquid acrylics, 12 bottles of GW, 10 VMC, 6 or 8 VGC... 72 VGC on the way.

THe results? Just check out my extensive gallery ;)

lol I\'ll believe you paint when I see some results!

I have about 55 bottles of Vallejos, 2 of Reaper Masters, and about 65 bottles of the cheapo craft paint from Wal-Mart I used to use.

I like what I\'ve tried of the Reaper paints, I think I may replace any Vallejos I run low on with those (and the Reaper is easier for me to get.)

:D

I have one of those paint shakers.. want to buy it.I really dont use it. The little rubber strap is kind of old and drying out. Might need to be replaced but you can order them from the manufacturers web site pretty cheap.

Or you can just use a rubberband.
I use my shaker all the time. I keep it on the floor under my desk and use my foot to turn it on or off. I used to keep it on the desk but it kept trying to shake its way off the edge.
