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

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

    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!

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

    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 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.

    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.

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

  30. #30

    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

    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...............

    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.

    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!

    Congratulations on your splendid start William, but have you ever asked yourself the question "Am I really trying hard enough?"
    Just a little extra effort and you could be broke in another week.

    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. Told Phillip that I'd be rich if it weren't for being a wargamer. I'm sure many here would agree.

    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.

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

    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.
