Being me,
My paints are eclectic and disorganised containing several repeats.
Including 2 of the same salmon pink!
I know i have the french 1809 Macdonalds corp, and some Northern Bolton pike, but when else do i use those, and why did i think i needed another pot!
Shadowforge Bunnygirl Gridiron team always look good in pink? Pink Panthers? LRDG? 125 Line in the French Napoleonics Army (Dutch), or in my case, patching up my daughters dolls house!

It's when you have several shades of black you start wondering if you haven't gone a little over the top....

I have 5 pots  8-}

Of my 152 pots of paint and ink only 8 are any shade of red.

Of all the fabrics and furnishings in my house ... 8 are a shade of red.

Spooky eh?

;D ;D

I have not counted mine but they fill 8 A5 size draws..  I also have a foolscap box file full of spares  :-\  This was mainly because one of my freinds gave up wargaming and gave me all his, also got a good deal when he stopped selling at the shows.

To keep it all under control and stop buying the same colour over and over (yes; 8 tins of exactly the same colour green, even from the same manufacturer!) and then missing out on other essentials I bought some second hand paint racks from a modelling shop. Now at least I know how much there is in stock!
Then again; when I'm at the local hobbyshop I of course forget and still buy more of the same... :(

Tell me about it, Rob. My favourite trick is to buy a certain colour and get it home and then find the original half-full container at the back of the drawer.

I do it with toothpaste too....  :-[
