And try not to think what vast army of minis you could buy with the cost of the work :P It sounds like you definitely have a solid case of "figmentia"... but the upside is you certainly have some great things in that collection. Just dig them out and paint them, instead of buying more! Spending money is a cheap, transitory thrill, but finishing a paint job is a real, enduring feeling of satisfaction (in my experience).Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-72183278688680694852013-11-18T09:07:58.508-08:002013-11-18T09:07:58.508-08:00Ebay sprees is something I fear a lot, you inocent...Ebay sprees is something I fear a lot, you inocently browse deals or keywords and you see so much "killer bargains" (you think they are) an dyou end up bidding on a lot of them; just to realise at the end of the auctions you've won quite a lot of very cool thngs you could have waited to have. I've decided with my lady to not stop completely but to stop at a certain monthly amount. I get lead, but I don't get too far so I'd say everyone wins. Plus I tend to go more on killer job lots rather than single pricey models and I end up with more lead at the end.<br />However, there's not much secret I can have from the missus since she's looking at the bank receipts with a sharp eye for any paypal...Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-9673564490626508442013-11-18T05:58:42.938-08:002013-11-18T05:58:42.938-08:00I've got to admit, I'm in the same boat.

But since we found mold while replacing the Exploding Hot Water Heater (sorry it now has to officially be capitalized) and found out what our deductible is on the $11k+ repairs....I have been banned from buying on ebay. Its not the "bosses" fault though, its just lack of funds. Its killing me as I have seen 4 things go dirt cheap, and I would have loved to add them to my collection. By I have found that I am still trolling through to "keep my mind on the prices". It is a painful torture. But I guess I have finally been driven to become a flagellant. Oh, and yes, I have two storage buildings. A 2 car garage and a slightly bigger one. Except for the gaming table, they are rooms full of boxes. It is often easy to lose things in there. My big secret is I have often bought all new stuff, rather than go through the work of finding things. My boss does not know that. But I do think she is beginning to suspect something.....(gulp!)Kaleb Hordeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279279669165070169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-49537811346406007482013-11-17T14:54:29.876-08:002013-11-17T14:54:29.876-08:00Guys, perspective.

But honestly, people spend a lot, lot more on "hobbies" like snowmobiling, collecting sports bobbleheads, or trying to own more shoes than all their friends.Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-53071761387250394122013-11-17T12:29:59.687-08:002013-11-17T12:29:59.687-08:00I'm afraid someone might 'accidentally'...I'm afraid someone might 'accidentally' let these secrets slip, within earshot of your wife...

I have taken to keeping an inventory, as my wife and I realised that I simply don't remember stuff I'm not currently using!<br /><br />Given I currently have 137 projects I have not started, I have imposed a "2 out, 1 in" rule until I am down to 100 outstanding projects. I'll then stop and take stock again.<br /><br />For the sake of marital harmony, my wife has access to my project logs, so I can't hide things from her. I currently get my e-bay fix with bits, and our rule that anything that is still in reasonable condition and 50% under retail including the postage is fair game (auctions only, not buy it now). These have the merits that with light fixing, they can often resold with a little mark up for the work of stripping and re-undercoating if they haven't made it onto a project I want to keep.<br /><br />I'm also doing quite well at buying up half used sprues for cheap, snipping off all the bits, keeping the ones I want and selling on the ones I don't for a handful of change that makes getting what I was after an incredibly good deal.

The trouble with Dettol is the all pervading odour, and as you say sometimes the figures can have a sticky residue on them, shifted by oven cleaner or a resoaking.
