Wish I had time to make a complete accounting but that is in the future. However, I've been adding things up in my head and I believe this is a reasonable approximation of where things stand. I have around 5,000 painted figures and around 3,000 primed figures. That means that about 1 figure in 4 is in process out of the 32,000 (near as I can sort out) from my collection. While I'd love the proportion to be much higher than twenty-five percent, I believe that is a respectable place to be at for so large a number of little metal beings.
On a different plane, I've been looking at my gaming table "to be" and realized I can make it a 4' x 12' table with an easy modification to add an additional 16" in width. As mentioned in other places here on this blog, I am reconsidering how many figures for each of the collections and I plan to use that table size as a guide in moving forward. Still not planning on parting with figures from the various listed collections. Do have some that will go away once I find a willing buyer who will pay a reasonable price, highly affordable, but reasonable. The penny a figure folks can watch while I melt the metal into lumps, thank you very much. Better a paper weight than to let them go that cheap.
Another influence from the table size just mentioned: will incorporate that into the rules I'm working on. Hmm, I guess I should add a rules thoughts page. Well, maybe, maybe not. We'll see.
Seems there are now over 150 photographs here but I do wish there were some nice game narratives. Alas, I will almost certainly miss one of the two conventions I like to attend. But life is more than hobbies and some of those other elements take priority.
Where playing with toy soldiers is the whole point - and sharing the joy of doing so. And keeping a record of what's been done and what is still awaiting completion. A note of caution for those unfamiliar: this activity can be remarkably addictive and take over your free time. Well, now wait a minute, it's so much fun that shouldn't be a problem. Oh, that's right. It's not! (title with asterisk in bar below is newest or most recent modification to a Page topic)
