How many miniatures do you own (Rebooted 2-JUN-14)

[Jager]

I'm starting this poll over with brackets more in line with the current collections.
Count all the planes and balloons that you play, or intend to play, WoG with, regardless of scale.
Ares/Nexus, kits, Shapeways, F-toys el al.
Let the counting begin!
Karl

[grumpybear]

Building collection, don't fly most due to not much time to play. Hoping to change that soon

I think you should have gone big...I mean BIG! This pole is going to be obsolete before it gets going.:p
At Origins I will do a new count and then post.

Karl, really? When are you going to get off the fence my friend and make a serious commitment to the Game? (says the guy with 41 minis)

[Blackronin]

I think I love this game.
112 WW1

Really, Karl ... I don't know if I can count that high! :confused:

..Ok I'll go down to the basement to check, be back in a few days. :hmm:

WWII : 99 aircraft

WWI : ...still counting!

[Oberst Hajj]

Count all the planes and balloons that you play, or intend to playl

Dang, guess that means I can't count the ones sitting on the AA shelves. lol

[Dan-Sam]

I will show this.thread to my SWMBO - she will see I am in a good period of this hobby now :)
Said the man with 38 WGF and 26 WGS :)

[Kubajs]

"That’s good, no more for me: wait, is that a new series release coming up! "
In additional to this definition i must say: "...Oh, the Prague Con is coming? I have an idea for the mission!"
60 after the Prague Con 2014. Plus 8 tanks.

[Пилот]

It's 31 now :)

[Mike George]

Love the planes, love the game, and love the History

[Doug]

The trouble is that for me there are the planes I need for games and the spares (for those new to the game) and those I get just for the hell of having them. For example I recently got an Air 200 Avero Anson, when I am going to use that I do not know, but had to get one.

I also have one.

Anti-submarine.
Lots of possibilities. ;)

Can I count my X-Wing models in the total? :cheezy:

Wow want to do some swaps or sales :):

[tikkifriend]

Got too many if SWMBO finds out:lol: In truth to date about 140 wgf and wgs

[tusekine]

I voted but cannot disclose publicly since SWMBO may stumble upon this...:)

Lets just say I have almost enough planes to fill six cases, each of which holds 64 planes (though one case is devoted to large bombers only).

I gave all of my WGS planes away as I was running out of space, and made the decision to dedicate myself to WGF only.

[Barkmann]

Ok lets count, i must have some 100 minis...
WWI: 1 2 3 4??
Ok
WWII: lets see... 10!?!?!?:mad:
Im gonna kill myself!!!!!!:surrender:

[predhead]

Less than 50, slowly growing. The group has over 200 in total, which is plenty! I tend to buy one each of the new planes for the Yanks, Belgians, Germans, and Austrians. I am staying away from the other powers as the rest of the group have them covered.

[prymus]

Just passed 70 with 4, 3 usable, aircraft from Shapeways. Still have 11+ on pre-order.

[milcoll73]

just tallied them up today and with whats in the pipeline;

ww1-35
ww2-15

[Roger Wilco]

I'm in serious trouble!

I have 6 1/200 Nexus WW2 models.

The rest of my aircraft are in 1/144 scale, Nexus, Ares, F-Toys and various kits either plastic or resin, both WW1, WW2 and Korea.

Grand total in hand 297!

This does not include 3 Ares WW1 planes I just bought from Xen last night. which will round me out at exactly 300 on Wednesday after the post arrives.

I have still got Series 6 and 7 to complete and then there's a few new schemes from 2A and then Series 8 comes along.

I knew I had a couple of planes but I never counted them until this afternoon.

I'm just glad I haven't had to do a cost expenditure of the hobby. as there are more non aircraft kits and pieces I have bought or made for this game consisting of maps, ships, buildings and other terrain objects and features. Then there are all the storage containers that house the models, the shelves and cupboards, the wargames room/shed that houses it all................. the glue, tools and paint................ sitting on the workbench.....................

Just think, when I die, it will all be sold for a buck a piece at a garage sale by well meaning grand children.........

I also have
56 X-Wing minis.
32 Crimson Skies Clix and 12 Ral Partha planes for a later WoG conversion project
32 1/144 F-Toys StarWars fighters part of a shelved WoW project when X-Wing came out.
14 Titanium diecast Battlestar Galactica Colonial Vipers and Cylon Raiders for another WoG project

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Count not the cost Trevor.
Just ask yourself the question..........
Has it enriched your life.

[Roger Wilco]

Don't get me wrong Rob, I love every single piece of my collection and my "realisation" comments in the above post are not from shame or surprise but are just tongue in cheek. No I can honestly say I am a proud ambassador to all out of control hoarders worldwide. LOL!

Its just funny when you know that at a glance that the collection is big, but to actually sit down and count it all to find out how big it really is is another thing and I have to say it is bigger than I thought it was. I also have a nagging feeling that there might actually be some more in a box I haven't counted yet...............

[Timmo UK]

50 WW1. I have about 60 – 70 1/285 Raiden metal planes for WW2.

I've purposefully based my repainted collection around JGII from April 1918 to the end of the war to ensure I don't just start buying random planes. I will be adding a selection from the MFJ units but my next major purchases will be reprints of the SE5, the release of the Neiuport 28 and the Fokker DVIII.

[Air Cooled]

I'm now at 60 WGF all official models, just ordered 2 Valom Pups (being brave) to start filling some gaps! Its all happened quite rapidly, so I think I'm hooked!

[Diamondback]

Post #8 updated.

[prymus]

Its all happened quite rapidly, so I think I'm hooked!

I hear you Martin. Just started mid April and I'm up to 88 aircraft, with 5 Ares and 9 Shapeways "in the mail". How the heck did that happen, I could swear they're breeding in my storage box!

Hehe, nice. I realize I've not really committed yet. I'm sorry. I'm just not sure I'll stick with the game. lol. Thanks Rob, trying to make a trip to the game store in a week or two, as soon as my loan paperwork is done:eek:. Told Phillip that I'd be rich if it weren't for being a wargamer. I'm sure many here would agree.

[Diamondback]

This is the advantage of having caught most of the originals on first release... original D.VII's were still a right nasty bugger to run down, though.

[Guntruck]

323 WW1 and 97 WW2, not counting a dozen minicraft B17s in transit or the latest WW1 releases. Quite addictive this game innit? :minis:

A dozen B-17?! A dozen?!

What? A squadron was usually 18... His dozen's just two box formations' worth.

[Blackronin]

That's what I meant Razorback! That's what I meant...

[Diamondback]

HEY! I take offense at that... a Razorback is a PIG, a Diamondback is a rattlesnake.

:p

[Blackronin]

Ops!! Sorry, Diamondrazor... I meant no disrespect.

[Diamondback]

Have razors on the brain today, do you? :p Or is this just getting too excited about the no-release-date "Flying Razor" in WGF Series 8 and P-47 in the next WGS set?

[Blackronin]

Sorry again, Restricted Diamond... But a dozen B-17's do that to my brain... I have 2 of those and counting nickels to buy the two more that Ares will provide... And of course waiting for the Razorbacks that will come. Unrestricted, I hope.

[Doug]

Got to admit to storage space problems as well, but as long as ARES keep making them I will keep on buy them (dimented lol).

How do you know when you've got enough?

[Flying Helmut]

How do you know when you've got enough?

If my experience has taught me anything, you can NEVER have enough! :(

[Mycenius]

FWIW... (incl. new order I'm about to place next week)

WW1 - 98
Have about 2/3 of the WoG WW1 Model range Collected (incl. the new series 8 in the missing 1/3 of that total) + Extras of some WW1 Models + various Third Party models.

WW2 - 104
Almost complete WoG WW2 Collection (with my next order I will just be short 1 rare model) + Extras of some WW2 Models + various Third Party models.

So 202 Total.

[Nicola Zee]

If my experience has taught me anything, you can NEVER have enough! :(
You're right! I try to resist getting multiples of less famous planes but I've started to notice gaps in my collection. It gets addictive. :)

[LOOP]

Well things have a tendency to grow...... 47 it was this autumn. Now it's 63......

[Tonx]

Understanding the best scale for this game to be 1/144 Scale I have yet to start board gaming. But so far I have amassed quite an impressive collection of F-Toys and Café Reo (Big Bird) four-engine bomber types mainly - am struggling for little friends to fly alongside these though! Starting out with our three Douglas C-47A Skytrains and three N A B-25C 'Crew Training' Mitchell aircraft things very quickly open out into four Consolidated B-24J Liberator aircraft. Standing between these and the rest of the Boeing B-17C / F / G Flying Fortress fleet are at least six Avro Lancaster B Is / B IIIs to which here is home to.

Noteable names which spring to mind: Cocktail Hour and Sharona D (B-24Js) and Shamrock Special, Mustang, Panama Hattie and of course the Memphis Belle (B-17Fs) and I began collecting these models for half the price they are now available for in January 2010 :)

[johnbiggles]

I also have one.
Coastal patrol.
Anti-submarine.
Lots of possibilities. ;)

I just bought a Hudson from Helmet 200 for Coastal Command for channel patrols, I keep looking at the Anson, as it was the first twin engine aircraft my father flew in when he joined the RAF.
As for my total, I must be near the 150 mark, but I haven't actually counted them recently.

And there is Hammerhead in a couple of days

And a new release of WGF coming soon

:minis:

[johnbiggles]

How do you know when you've got enough?


Sorry? what? that sentence makes no sense
:confused:
:minis:

[Chris Maes]

I probably have around 100 1/144 scale WWI aircraft, from a variety of manufacturers: Nexus and Shapeways are the majority plus one and only ONE Ares model (Gotha G.IV... or is it supposed to be a V?). Every Ares model I have seen has had something... "off"... about it. Missing cabane struts... Wrong engine mounts... Wing struts missing... Etc... Sad to say but unless Ares ups their game and actually produce better models, I am unlikely to buy another "official" aircraft.

[Timmo UK]

Although there is something off about many model 1/144 planes, often due the restrictions of the scale, some ARES models are very nice. The reprint of the Fokker DVII is their best model yet in my view. I do however think that their quality is very patchy and it seems sometimes that they just couldn't be bothered to create a consistent standard.

[LOOP]

......70..... :minis: and now the Shapeway-fever kicks in...:surrender:

[Stumptonian]

123 WW1 as posted in the other poll.
I know at some point I am going to start getting WW2 as well.

You know, just a few to do Battle of Britain scenarios ...

Oh! is that a Lancaster ?
:surrender:

[Diamondback]

Still just one of everything, but that covers a lot more territory now.

[jbmacek]

......70..... :minis: and now the Shapeway-fever kicks in...:surrender:

While cleaning up my work table, my jaw dropped when I saw how many unpainted Shapeways minis I have. It's a whole new addiction.

[LOOP]

Shapeways! It's a whole new addiction.

I have only bought 7 so far but in my head I'm already painting at leased 20 more and I have only begun scratching the surface. :surrender:

It IS a whole new addiction! ;)

[OldGuy59]

Oh, darn.

I just messed up my up-coming storage tray order. I found some Stukas at a "can't pass this up (again!)" price. $300+ in AA storage trays, and that is for single and two seaters, only.

It doesn't include bombers or balloons. Or the Zeppelin, or the HMS Glorious (filled with Sea Gladiators and Swordfish).

I haven't ordered any of WGF series 8, nor do I have anywhere near enough Bf-109s or Hurries/Spits. Still need He-111s and a few other Battle of Britain planes to round out scenario possibilities. Heaven forbid I expand into the Mediteranian theater (please, please, please don't release a Spit Mk V trop! Please, save me from myself!)

PS: 82 WGF tray slots (no bombers, and not including Series 8 wishlist), 18 WGS tray slots (not including the Stukas, a Bf-110, the He-111 wishlist plane, nor the Glorious storage)

PPS: None of the above includes my metal D.VIII, nor the paper planes. Or Snoopy.

[Teaticket]

I don't know my WWI/WW2 totals but I am in the 'need to build a new aerodrome' zone. :eek: I have my scout/fighter storage settled and am working on 2 seaters and up.
The big bombers will be a challenge and then the incoming giants! Love it all!!!!

[Flying Helmut]

Beware: The green coloured Kawasaki is the KI-61-I-KIAD version ... It's the only aircraft currently available to WGS which distributes D-Tokens on a regular basis. It would shred that Mitchell in the photo with great ease so I have already discovered. Best opponent for it I would say is the Bristol Beaufighter Mk IVF (Davoud Edition) which is also something which can easily shred anything which is in it's way!

Moved onto Heavy Bombers with my collection of :minis: but rather than bothering with WGS Rehab I think I'll have more fun learning just what these aircraft are capable of. After all what will I learn in WGS Rehab apart from diddly squat??!

Yeah I am aware of that. Thinking of ways to add a house rule currently, maybe limit the shots, limit the targets (harder to hit faster moving, smaller aircraft) or limit both. Or maybe I'll just give it to the new guy and say, have at 'er ;). As a sort of handicap to the rest of us. Maybe I'll do an ace test, a 1vs 1 against it solo and see how long I last.
The possibilities are endless, just so long as everyone agrees with the options!

Thanks for the heads up though, I'll try and be careful.

[Warhawk]

Nice grab Wes.
I never seem to see anything like that these days.

Thanks Rob
Some repairs on the B-25 are necessary however but nothing a little glue can't fix and at $9.95 it's a steal.

And on another note, does anyone know where I might find Lott's P-40 online. I procrastinated with this one, opting instead for two of Hill's P-40's and now I'm kicking myself for it.

Heh. I sent him an amazon link to the US site. lol.

I've had my Deluxe set of planes for 2 years, and doubled that last summer, but the itch has increased greatly since I joined the site in Jan.
What do we have? Only WGS (18 Ares, 6 Noble Metal Mini's, 8 Merit planes out for painting, 2 resin by Dave-Clipper). It's the AAR reports that did it.

EDIT - Hrm..those merit's put me well over the the 25 or less I thought i had. I forgot about them. I sent them to Kevin (miscmini) to paint up since he did a good job on the metal ones.

[Tonx]

Heh. I sent him an amazon link to the US site. lol.

I don't use Amazon so I would not have thought of sending Wes a link to there - looks as if he will find Lott's P-40F successfully for sure now. I think the P-40 Warhawk models in general have just been put through a production re-run as having proved to be amongst of the hardest :minis: to find IMHO over this year they have both suddenly reappeared again in respectable numbers. I think AA are still out of stock of both Editions or I would have suggested trying there before E-Bay. The type is a good one to have in a Miniatures collection - rugged and manoeuverable.

[Gotham Resident]

This is a real brick and mortar store (https://www.atomicempire.com/store.aspx?) in North Carolina in the states. They appear to have a good quantity of mini's for WGF & WGS. And card protectors etc. :minis:

[Warhawk]

Thanks for the help guys.:thumbsup: Still looking for something a little more local but if I don't find anything soon I'll have to jump on a couple of those.

I agree Paul but since no one lives near me that plays and I like to try out all the different areas Ares has made for I have at least 1 of each model.
The models and scenario I enjoy playing I have several to make it play good.

In the future could also put on some demonstration / participation games around my area.

Due to the same sort of situation I have also collected one of each :minis: for WGS and am in the process of negotiating doing a couple (provisionally) of WGS demos down at my FLGS or Friendly Local Gaming Store.

So I gather Skype is an excellent way of competing online against other players internationally. However away from Skype I too play loads of Solitaire scenarios though my preference by far is to play against a live and present opponent.

If I was into WGF full time the situation would be slightly different as there are a few WGF fanatics located in Derbyshire. But my main interest is WGS and most Solitaire sessions I play are to maintain the game's presence at Galactic Models Gaming Night which is held every Wednesday night down at my FLGS ... How far away are you from Derby may I ask and do you have a similar shop nearby which operates something similar to what I attend here?

[hawkhurst]

hi Barney I am from Boston Lincolnshire there is no shops or clubs near that are interested.

so the best is to play solo or when wife available she plays also.

think we played against you at Hammerhead

so when I get more time will see about Skype

Hi! My name is Matt. I've been addicted to Wings of Glory/War for almost a year now, and I only have 100 planes. I promise I'll do better as the addiction gains a firmer hold on my life...:p

These planes are SO cool!

All the best,
Matt

100..... slacker! ;)

That's not an addiction; that's a mere dalliance! ;)

[matt56]

I know, guys! But I seriously feel that NOW that I've come to terms with my situation, I will be much more able to collect a number worthy of brotherhood in this esteemed association.

I really do promise to try harder in the future.

All the best,
Matt

P.S. Don't let SWMBO see this note!!!

It will be a lot easier if you get SWMBO a few customized planes of her own. It worked for me!

[ReducedAirFact]

I have the advantage that 6mm scale planes take up a lot less storage space than 1:144! I got started on that scale a long time before WoG was invented, and it's too late to change now. Most of my 1:144 planes are test prints from Shapeways.
53 WWI in 1:144
366 WWI in 1:285-1:300
~12 WWII in 1:285-1:300

[Ragnar200]

Everyone needs a fantasy collection to dream about and perhaps some day vaguely approximate. Or perhaps more important, everyone needs a super example to demonstrate to a less than fully gruntled SWMBO that your personal treasures and accompanying clutter are mere trifles in the grand scheme of things. Rick Rudofsky just circulated a couple of links to Peter Tamm's personal collection, otherwise known as the International Maritime Museum. I'll pass those on here. With 45,000 + models just in 1:1250, all beautifully displayed, the collection definitely qualifies as both "ultimate aspiration" and "SWMBO's worst nightmare". See: http://www.imm-hamburg.de/ and, for example, https://picasaweb.google.com/116219861399977821152/SMSCEuropeTour2011?authkey=Gv1sRgCMD5ko2Bx97JqQE#.

Please note that the Picassa file covers the other touring experiences of a group of collectors who attended the meets in Hamburg and Kassel. Enjoy.

For those so inclined there is an American equivalent of Kassel in Norfolk,VA on Saturday, September 19th. See http://www.smsc-home.org/events.html.

I'm not sure if they are Central Powers, Entente, Axis, or Allies, but we added a few new ariel fighters with our inaugural purchase of D&D Attack Wing this evening. I avoided this game since its release, but the call was too strong tonight. At least the wife of my friend who owns the store gave me a piece of carmel-chocolate chip brownie pie; I am still waiting for my cookies from joining the Dark Side.

[Zoe Brain]

At the rate of 1 a week to paint and decal... I'll be busy for 2 years with my existing Shapeways stuff alone. Though I have rather more completed than not.

I bought the starter set too; mostly to run a Dragon hunting game at origins next year :slysmile: (thanks John!)

[Horse4261]

Just got around to actually counting my WWI collection - 38 Central, 41 Allied and two balloons. I think that is a good start over all. Now on to the whole storage and transport issues.

[Setarius]

My collection has grown to 164 planes. 81 WWI and 83 WWII. With more on the way.
WWI Central Powers has a 45-36 advantage over the Entente. While WWII the Axis have a 43-40 advantage over Allies.

[Mike George]

Every time this comes up, I have to recount them I am at 111 WW1 WOG and WOW planes, not enough!

[Tonx]

Enough to be looking at insuring my collection of WGS :minis: just in case ...

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I guess it is a timely reminder for me to have a recount of my current planes too.
Rob.

[tikkifriend]

Not enough, but too many :)

[Flying Helmut]

Not enough, but too many :)

Absolutely!

[Teaticket]

Too much of a good thing is never enough. I've never done a count. Maybe over the Christmas-New Years week I'll do one.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

It's official. My WW2 collection now outnumbers my WW1 collection. After Christmas this deficit will grow to nearly double what it is now!

[Hedeby]

It's official. My WW2 collection now outnumbers my WW1 collection. After Christmas this deficit will grow to nearly double what it is now!

lol, still only got the three WW2 planes (and one of those is a Lancaster, lol)

[Flying Officer Kyte]

That so Chris!
Have you got a Bristol yet?
Rob.

[Flying Helmut]

That so Chris!

Rob.

Nice one, Wing Commander!:sAprvd:

[7eat51]

Having gone over to the Darkside (thank you Karl), the collection has grown to the 300+ range. My WWII collection has surpassed my WWI collection, but The Great War has a larger variety of aircraft, including some of Clipper's masterpieces. I need to add some interesting and unusual aircraft to the WWII collection.

[matt56]

My collection has grown, too, since I answered the poll and posted previously - but I think, perhaps, that one of the choices on the poll should have read "Never enough"...;)

All the best,
Matt

[Flying Helmut]

My collection has passed into the next threshold too.

"Never enough" and "Too Many" simultaneously - that would be my best answer.

[Teaticket]

It's too bad you can't change your vote. I also have crossed a threshold to a new level of madness/happiness.

My motto is 'Too much of a good thing is never enough'. :)

[LOOP]

Still just short of 100 but.... Only just.

[Копилот]

About 70 (together with Пилот) and Shapeways order (some 15 more) on the way.

[Stumptonian]

Just recounted mine - more than doubled what I had when I voted.
286 total (including in transit)
WGF : 147
WGS : 139

:takecover::dazed::erk:

[Diamondback]

Are we only counting On Site, or does In Transit count too? lol

[milcoll73]

we should do a reboot of this thread. i dont know about everyone else but my collections increased significantly since this was published

[Flying Helmut]

I may have added a plane or two myself....................

[Jager]

Well I have too, but that next level is a big leap :eek:

WW2 (1/200) total = 365

Total 220 WGF + 365 WGS = 595

[Timmo UK]

I know I've bought ten WGF in the last few weeks. I'm not sure of the exact total but it's now about 90 models almost all of which have either been repainted or are waiting to be repainted.

[Jager]

With the next release coming in May/June, I'll probably break the 600 mark :erk:
lots of painting to do. Plus more storage trays.
Karl

[Dom S]

Ready for the table, I'm in the 50-99 range at the moment, although if I ever get my Shapeways horde dealt with (mostly purchased back in the first flush of Shapeways enthusiasm c. 2011, and mostly still unpainted....) that'll go up at least one band. That said, my immediate future is a lower total - couple of things need funding, so a pile of my WGF repaints will be Ebay-bound this coming week. Of course that'll just free up space for more in the longer term, because megalomania's a bitch like that.... ;)

[Jager]

R Of course that'll just free up space for more in the longer term, because megalomania's a bitch like that.... ;)

Not a nice way to speak of your best friend, Dom :)

[Willi]

As a relative rookie I have been slowly but surely building a collection. I am only at 30, excluding my AIM Drachen. Three are Bombers, a recently acquired RNAS Handley Page, the Aschoff Gotha and the LaGuardia Caproni. All the rest are (mostly) Ares, with a few older Nexes and my one kit build - a Valom Nieuport 17 in the Charles Nungesser paint scheme (perhaps you have seen it on the Aerodrome). Repaints comprise only 6 of my kites, but the repaints always seem to be the favorites because of the time invested. I think I have more coming. I say I think because my brother and I (BB401 - Bob) and another "playmate", Scott Killinger, have been doing some bulk buying on EBay and dividing up after. I think I will be doing a minor repaint of the MvR DR.1 (425/17) back to the 477/17. It is an interesting mix of many colors and as I have found out, the Baron's No. 1 Dr.1 in terms of aerial victories. I find it interesting how many aircraft pilots seemed to have at their disposal. Get shot down in the morning and go back up In the afternoon and fight on - amazing!

[A0S]

33 with two more en route. All WGF including two giants and a nice even split 16 Entente and17 Central Powers.

[Carl_Brisgamer]

My WGS series 6 delivery just arrived!

201932

This pushes my Wings of Glory air armada over the 450 mark.

[Canestri10]

I think Im sitting somewhere around the 200 mark. Havent officially counted. Will get around to it someday

[Diamondback]

Except WGS Series 6 (order not yet placed), still One Of Everything.

Annoying that the "Free Shipping" threshold is pegged right at the "Beancounter Approval Required" threshold... fergoshsakes, I carry one of the deadliest fighting pistols ever made and make life-and-death decisions every day and have done so virtually my entire adult life with not one lapse of judgement, and they STILL don't think I can handle the responsibility of managing my own money?! *rolls eyes*

[Flying Helmut]

They were right about me................................

Counting officially suspended owing to inability to handle large numbers.

[Jager]

Still redoing my inventory; I'm afraid what the count will reach :dazed:

Don't you have a legal recourse for this????
Write your Congressman, Man .
Karl

[bgeipel]

96 - so close to the next level.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Just did an updated count.
WWI currently stands at 243.
WW2 at 125
plus five balloons one Zeppelin and a Naval airship.

Total. 368 plus the balloons.
Rob.

[Stumptonian]

161 WGF
171 WGS
____
332

+ 2 balloons

Not bad for 2-1/2 years work
:D

Interesting that I have more WGS than WGF since I haven't tried WGS yet.
The Series 9 will balance them out and put WGF ahead.

But then comes the new BoB ....
;)

[Teaticket]

Rough estimate puts me over 400 between WGF and WGS but I won't be able to get in an inventory until September.

[Dan-Sam]

Just counted all of my minis:


WGF: 39
WGS: 34
SoG: 12
Total: 75 + 2 balloons (+12 ships)

That looks good. May be I am not addicted... :smack: OK, I know I am... :minis:

[Teaticket]

Daniel, I agree, you do not look like you are addicted......give it a little more time. ;)

[Stumptonian]

Rough estimate puts me over 400 between WGF and WGS but I won't be able to get in an inventory until September.

I have an Excel file with all of mine so I can keep track of what I have.
Started that back in 2014 when I was first collecting and having a hard time keeping track of what I was getting from various eBay sites.
Wish I had picked up a few more of certain ones when they were available ....
:(

Good idea. I'll go spreadsheet in September. It will then be a breeze keeping track of all the little guys. Hmmm, I better list all the unpainted AIM, Shapeways, Red Eagle....this could bve scary!

[Jager]

I'm still working on filling mine; I guess that last summation total will be a shock. :eek:
Karl

[CappyTom]

I'm not close to Karl but I've got my share...

[matt56]

I just broke the 200 mark (I'm at 210) in acquiring some dozen or so WW2 planes a friend wanted to trade - that 210 is majority Nexus/Ares, with a few F-Toys, New Ray, and Shapeways planes thrown in for good measure. Eighty percent of them are WW1 - it will always be my favorite period...:)

I shall acquire more, I'm sure...:p

All the best,
Matt

[Jager]

The counting's done (I hope; thinking I have a couple He-111s hiding somewhere):
Nexus/Ares WW1: 318
Nexus/Ares WW2: 252
Shapeways (not counting "targets" like Bugs and V-1s): 142
Models and F-toys waiting to be built: 38
Resin: 21
Skypilot diecast: about a dozen, I think (They're packed in a couple places)

So official planes: 570
Outsourced planes: 214+
Total: 784+
:eek:
Karl

[Stumptonian]

Hope it doesn't end up on Storage Wars
;)

[Dan-Sam]

So, I have 75, Karl has 784+. I'll try to tell to Jitka: "Honey, do you see this little plane? OK, now imagine 10 instead of 1." :D
Outstanding numbers, Karl. You have your own (Ch)Air Force! :salute:

Oh Pete once you start playing WGS you will not look back. My WGS long since outstripped WGF in sheer volume.

[jbmacek]

Not sure when I broke the 100 official planes barrier, but it was prior to the most recent release.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Latest count:355

WGF 140

WGS 215

Wish list WGS 58.

[Baxter]

Do not boast about the number of planes you have purchased! Many a divorce ............. :eek:

[john snelling]

Over 300 all WW1. I have 60 French aircraft.

[Stumptonian]

Do not boast about the number of planes you have purchased! Many a divorce ............. :eek:

I do hope that's not how I ended up with part of your collection ...
:(

[Carl_Brisgamer]

Almost 350 official WGF and WGS, more than 150 unofficial aircraft.

500 aircraft at a conservative average of $15 each collected over 8 years + cost of attendance to several interstate and local gaming conventions = .....MONEY WELL SPENT!!

[Shadowcat]

Up to 60 smaller planes now, 3 bombers, a barrage balloon, and 4 shapeways frames...and still adding.

[milcoll73]

last count im up to 100 wgf, and 60 wgs. finally got around to some sensible storage as well.

[Setarius]

With my last BoB purchase I am now up to 133 WGS and 105 WGF. Total 238 with a few more I'd like to get.
I know I won't be getting the complete set of WGF that is soon to be released but I might get a couple.

[badlands122]

125 planes of various sorts.

[tikkifriend]

What the real number or how many I tell SWMBO :D

[Stumptonian]

What the real number or how many I tell SWMBO :D

^^^^^^^
:thumbsup:

[Пилот]

I changed my status to:

"100-199: I think I’m getting serious; Maybe make some room in storage."

:)

[Flying Helmut]

How did you change your status? I need to move up a category................

[BellMW54]

Holy COW! About 120 WGF (1 Nexus, everything else ARES) and 30 WGS (all BoB related). It's funny how the actual numbers sneak up on one so swiftly and unsuspectingly! Had it not been for this poll, I never would have guessed... :eek:

[Zoe Brain]

I don't have either a Schaeffer D.VII nor a Brumowski D.III. I do have all the rest in WGF, with a dozen repeats repainted.
Plus 200+ Shapeways. And a half dozen F-toys.

I haven't had an WGS game for 3 years though.

[Carl_Brisgamer]

I haven't had an WGS game for 3 years though.

We'll have to get Barry to fix that at Wintercon Zoe!

[Shadowcat]

OK, Update

All WWI planes
WOW 17
WOG 45
Bombers 3
Balloon 1
Shapeways 11

[Doug]

I have not counted lately but I would say around 300 WW1 & WW2 even after a recent cull. But as I have been playing this game for at least 6 years what can you expect. :eek: but I do have 10 of Clippers models :D

[Mike George]

137 WWI planes from Wings of Glory and Wings of War and 8 Shapeways being painted 5 F-Toys planes Total of 150 planes.

[Stumptonian]

This poll is 5-1/2 years old.
Might be time for an update ...
:hmm:
Mine appears to be about triple of the high end of what I originally voted (which was the 100-199 range)
:surrender:

[OldGuy59]

Let's not resurrect this poll.

Occasionally, SWMBO does browse through the Forum, and even I don't want to know the level of my addiction, let alone provide someone with ammunition about how much room I have taken up in the house and garage with 'junk'.

PS: A poll might include Tripods, as well as BSG ships and accessories, if we really want to light off a domestic conflagration.

[Ken at Sunrise]

My collection has grown somewhat as well.

[Jager]

Maybe we need a poll on cubic footage stored :erk:
Karl

[badlands122]

Now up to 160 of various sorts.....

[Diamondback]

No count, but as of right now I'm only missing the T&T Starter Ni.16 for one of everything WWI, and for WWII I have one of everything except the Squadron Packs, which are each two-or-more. This includes the house, the storage unit, and my stash waiting to ship at Miniature Market.

[Flying Helmut]

I've at least two of everything WW1, now including the Gold and Silver Specials, but like DB above I lack the Tripe-pods Nieuport 16.

WW2, no idea. Sporadic scatter-shot purchases when planes become available at good prices (my first two P-47s arrived today, less than £10 each BNIB) and a couple of large collections purchased but not yet absorbed.

I need a decent spell of time to try to organise a count, but that would detract from much-needed painting time.

[Teaticket]

I have ~ 100 WWI and ~130WW2 that I've painted, Shapeways, AIM and ARES repaints. I have ~one of each release with 2-10 extras here and there when I can get them on the cheap.

Like Tim, no real count as that would take up painting time!

[Diamondback]

I've at least two of everything WW1, now including the Gold and Silver Specials, but like DB above I lack the Tripe-pods Nieuport 16.

Sounds like we need to find T&T-player partners to split a couple Starters with...

[Zoe Brain]

I don't have either a Schaeffer D.VII nor a Brumowski D.III. I do have all the rest in WGF, with a dozen repeats repainted.
Plus 200+ Shapeways. And a half dozen F-toys.

I haven't had an WGS game for 3 years though.
Both Schaeffer and Brunowski acquired a while ago.

I've lost count.

[malachi]

It's looking like a paltry 245 for WGF currently. Now we're down to mostly hard-to-get items, but fun adding Shapeways. Lots of work in the queue!

[Stumptonian]

I would hardly call 245 "paltry"
;)

360 WGF for me though.
:money:

[Jager]

I've lost count. Worst, I found my last few purchases were not entered into my inventory spreadsheets :erk:
I may just wait for surprises.
Karl

[Teaticket]

You are a brave man Chris. I'm afraid to count.

[Stumptonian]

A spreadsheet takes away the drudgery of counting.
;)

265 WGS

Updated as received :p

WGF: 387

You are much more disciplined than I. After all the moving over the last 4 years I have no real idea how many planes I have.

[Hedeby]

Stuck at 103 now (all WW1)... I'm obviously letting the side down

[camelbeagle]

I quit counting.

[malachi]

WGF = 700
WGS = 209

I can quit anytime. :lol:

[Teaticket]

How many of those are Bristols? ;)

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I must do a recount.

[Jager]

Frankly, I'm content with my ignorance. Too scared to find the real number ;)
Karl

[Mike George]

150 different paint jobs on planes. Working on FE2Bs.

[tonyc206]

Simply 'Not enough' is all I can say about how many I have :eek:

[camel crew]

Well, that's another land mark I never thought I'd get to. Just ticked into the 100+ bracket :minis::minis::minis::minis:

[tikkifriend]

Since the 2014 post the airforce has increased to the 300 mark :minis: :money:

[Baxter]

Since this started, my WWI collection has grown to around 150 genuine Nexus/Ares planes plus 50 odd that are Shapeways/F-Toys/Metal or Balsa ones.

[Paukenschlager]

I confine my interest to WW1 so I guess it scales down the possibility to grow the collection to the wuthering heights someone reached... Nevertheless I'm extremely proud of my 22 fighters, 4 two-seaters and 1 observation balloon!

Breaking it down by nationality

Germans: 6 fighters, 2 two seater
Austro-Hungarians: 6 fighters
Italians: 5 fighters
British: 2 fighters, 1 two seater
French: 2 fighters, 1 two seater
Americans: 1 fighter

Observation balloon doesn't have a stable nationality and moved to whatever side of the table suits the Scenario

[BellMW54]

I see that back in '17 I had 150 planes (mostly WGF) and a balloon. Although I've not counted my air forces have grown to somewhere over 200 (all ARES except for the 1 Nexus), most of which have, sadly, yet to see combat...primarily due to the recent pandemic. However, should ARES ever produce any of the long awaited early war WGF machines and balloons (or any American and Japanese fighters, dive bombers and torpedo bombers of the early Carrier War of 1942), my collection would expand commensurately.

[camel crew]

Thanks to Daryl at RAF I think my total is MORE:minis::minis::minis:

[Mike George]

100-199: I think I’m getting serious; Maybe make some room in storage. The funny thing is when these questions always come up they say I voted in this already? I have not but I am writing it out. I have 146 models in WW1.

[Jager]

Yeh, still not counting (new batches of AiM and SWs for Origins this year :hmm: ).

[abovetheclouds]

I remember voting on this back when when I thought I had built up a sizeable collection. But then I completed my collection of WGF and WGS manufactured planes. And after that I ventured into WGS 1/144th territory which has pushed the number of planes I own into the "Don't ask, don't tell" category.

[Jager]

You too? :dazed:

Yeh, after I swore I'd only run games with what I had already. Too weak not to get enticed by a new plane/era/pair-up.

Oh yeah, running games at the next show with planes we already have, no one would ever break that vow. ;)

I might have done that once. Currently 6 planes short for Huzzah in May. 12 planes short for Origins in June. Some things never change.

Like the card Jan.

Rob.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

This just encouraged me to upsate my collection.
I now have:-

WW1. 208 aircraft plus 6 Balloons, 1 RNAS Airship and 1 Zep.

WW2. 185 aircraft, plus 3 Blimps.

I have 27-33 depending on how many I can borrow from a friend ;)
Fortunately, most are on the last decaling stages.
