MODELLING AND PAINTING: Taking stock

Two years ago I blogged a big painting and modelling 'to do' list. I included every single model I owned. I thought it might be fun to revisit that list and see how I've done.

NEW items are models I've bought. Those marked SELL are models I plan to sell so will not build or paint. SOLD models have already been sold. Built items have been put together but not painted. Painted items have been constructed and fully painted. If there are no notes next to the item then it's probably just sat in it's box! Some models may be built and painted to a very basic level but need stripping and starting over.

Phew, that's one hell of a 'to do' list. It should reduce considerably in 2009, though, as I have made a resolution not to buy a single new model.

I'm hoping that a big chunk of my Space Marine models will get built and painted as I continue with my painting pledge until August. After that my plan is to get cracking with my Orks.

After some deliberation I have decided that I want to strip the paint from all my old models and then re-do them for my new army. They have been painted over a 20 year period and are wildly varying in colours and quality. The main problem with the models is that they are from every edition of the game!

I've got Thrugg's Bullneck Raiders from Rogue Trader, the 2nd edition Goff Boyz and Gretchins, late 2nd/early third plastic Ork Boyz and 4th edition plastics. Then I've got the brand new 5th edition models to paint. The models are all different sizes too.

I might just whack them all in the stripping pot together and see what comes out!

Alternatively I could possible sell some of the unsuitable Orks as they are, probably for a tiny amount, just to get rid.

Decisions, decisions...
