Great title.

I find it too easy to worry about what I should be painting rather than what I want to paint. And it’s far too easy to buy more stuff.

I think one of the reasons I’m avoiding buying a 3D printer is that it will just increase the amount of unpainted stuff I have.

So true what you wrote. Sometimes I cringe thinking of the vast amounts of money I ave spent on my "hobby" verses
how often I play with many of the miniatures I have. I will say I have conquered lead mountain. Probably less than 30-40
figures are left to paint. I keep a tight control on what I now get...until the urge hits. You know what I mean.

Great article! I've successfully conquered the lead mountain, just got 15mm Boer & British for Hordes of the Empire to paint and I'm done, so I've started making terrain pieces that I should have done for projects years ago! Pretty determined to not start any new projects for a long while yet, but I am missing painting figures....

too right, 3d printer is the work of the devil, that way lies Mountain building and a life of slavery!
