Posted this well over a year ago; thought it was time for WCYNSB redux ;)
My wargaming vices are:
Undead;
Brushes;
Bases;
Vallejo paints (hate running out so I'll have a spare ready when the bottles 3/4 gone).
So what are yours?
Definately those crap things from 1€ shops that might be used sometime and then just sit in the closet for ages.
Diecast cars for my flying lead project.
the revell micro wings. They were at my local'action' shop a few weeks ago for 1€ so i bought another 4 just to make a crashed version or 2 and some normal ones. I'm running out of room for them.

Glad it's not just me in there ;)
You are asking wargamers what they can't stop buying? Seriously?
Shinies, shinies and then a few more shinies.
Paints to colour said shinies.
Brushes to apply said paint to said shinies.
A4 hard plastic wallets for my 6mm shinies.I have about 40 now -just in case Poundland stop stocking them.
'Useful' b&p's from Poundland and the 99p stores-we have three within walking distance in the town and I check them all at least three times a week just in case there is something I might have missed. I have enough PVA to sink the Titanic!
It used to be books as well, but I've recovered from that compulsion. In a year I have only bought two books -Jena and Auesrstadt and Howard's Franco-Prussian War.
'Green Stuff'. (What a surprise ! ;))
When I get down to two spare 'Catherine wheels' of the stuff, I order four more.
Loads of things I try and keep excess stock of...In case there's ever a delay in getting more.
Cheers - Phil.

I've just bought a 36" wheel of it. That begs a question though; are there different brands / qualities Phil?
Paint - I like to have spares
Orcs - Even though I have lots i still pick up suitable ones if I see them - ie ones that are not Cartoony or GW style
Shiny Figures - Although I am trying not to buy any many in 2015 as I want to spend the money on 20mm Buildings

Anything that will expand my already overstocked ranks. I painted up the Old Guard cavalry division in 15mm a couple of years ago. Why? They'll probably never see the table. It just felt right.

Please Remember the two basic rules for a wargamer
When you paint your last unpainted figure - You Die.
This has not been scientifically proven, mainly because there are no wargamers with unpainted figures. It is accepted as an absolute fact by most wargamers. Even in the highly unlikely event that this is not true, why take the risk ?
For Health and Happiness a wargamer must own at least his own weight in unpainted lead (Perhaps thats why wargamers are of a certain shape) :D

I thought I had issues? (Oh wait, I do :D )
Way too many figures, I think I want them and I know I will use them but then some other range takes over. Bases, all sizes, all shapes, I need them and will use them. Paints, always looking for new colours, I know I will use them. Rules, I know I will play all these rules. If I keep repeating to myself that I will use everything I can get through the week without going mad! ;D

All scotch including single malt is blended, a single-malt scotch whisky is the product of a single distillery. Not the product of a single batch or a single barrel, but a single distillery. A single-malt Lagavulin may contain whiskies from many barrels produced at the Lagavulin distillery, but it will contain only whiskies produced at Lagavulin.
Lagavulin is the best in my opinion :D
Cheers
Ian
Unless it is sold as single barrel, costing in the hundreds of pounds!
The last time I drunk Scotch was in 1977. I was with the Sealed Knot in a hotel just outside Stirling and they had a complete shelf of the damned stuff.
'You start one end and I'll start at the other and we'll meet somewhere in the middle.' my (ex) mate said.
After a while I got to the stage of -Middle, hah! I couldn't even find my own hands, never mind the bl**dy middle of a rack of Scotch.
Four o'clock in the morning I woke up and was walking through the hotel trying to find my way out when I heard a scream from behind me and the sound of rapidly receding footsteps. I then realised that I had been mistaken for a 17th Century ghost by one of the customers.
I heard later the same day that the SK had been politely asked not to go back. Banging hangover and haven't touched the stuff since.
Anyway, back on topic.
I've thought of something else that I have a surfeit of... Mongols. But you know how it is, just one more unit. Oh, they are nice, I'll just get... Slippery slope and at the moment I'm on an uncontrollable downhill slide.

Now you are talking. I don't know why western countries think they can rival the eastern Europeans when it comes to making vodka, snowballs in hell have a better record. My mate's missus is from Lodz (pronounced Woodge) and if her relations come over some vodka comes with them. Luckily we have a few eastern European shops here so the variety of both vodka and food is mind-boggling. Also our next door neighbour is Latvian and if we look after his plants when he and his family go back, we always get a nice bottle of apple vodka as a thank you. Sometimes life is really good.

I shall have ONE more go.......
(Oooh....I know.....I'll see if this comes out and then edit it.)
So far...so good.
(Seems to be, if I try and 'quote' something from a previous page 'it' throws a wobbly and the post disappears.)
Right, Gareth.
Green stuff.....
Doesn't come in different 'grades' but you can mess around with the putty, and mix different proportions of the blue and yellow 'parts'.
The more yellow you mix in...The softer and more adhesive the putty will be.
Advantage....You can get this mix to stick to cured putty....Or bare metal, much more easily.
Disadvantage(s)....Takes longer to cure/set and a lot more difficult to get sharp edges until it has at least 'half cured'.
The more blue you mix in.
Advantage(s)......Quicker to set...Easier to pull sharp edges.
Disadvantage..... A swine to get it to stick to metal or cured putty.
When mucking about with the proportions, you can't go too mad, or you'll find that the mix won't set properly/at all......Which from putting a model in a press, is a complete no-no,,,It'll actually 'squish' and leave a right mess in the mould. Basically, a completely useless model....I've only ever done this once, by mixing so little yellow with the blue, I could still move the putty around after 3 days.
Other putties. (That I like, and use sometimes.)
ProCreate.
(Pretty damn sure this is Clibby's favourite !!)
Acts in a very similar way to Greenstuff, where you've mixed in a greater proportion of 'blue'....So it's basically a 'stiffer' putty to use than GS.
I don't use a lot of this, simply because I've not got a 'normal' grip for a chap, and I find it quite difficult to mix together.
I get around the mixing problem by heating the ProCreate on a radiator, which softens the putty.
All well and good...But, because the putty is warm, it 'goes off' rather quickly as far as pushing it around is concerned.
Similar advantage, in that it's slightly easier to get sharper edges with.....What I DO like about it is the fact that it 'scrapes and sands' much more easily and neatly than cured GS.
Easier to 'smooth' than GS.
Disadvantage....You can probably guess....Not so easy to get it to 'stick'.
Brown stuff.
Not dissimilar to ProCreate.....Cures very quickly, but with a 'brittle' finish.
It snaps, rather than bends if you want to 'tweak' something....Very expensive compared to GS and PC.
Personally. I don't think it's of much use for smaller scale modeling.
You CAN mix parts of the different putties together (Blue of GS with the 'white' of PC.....or the yellow of GS with the 'black' of PC. These both give a similar 'feel' and work well for certain types of modeling.)
Finally, I sometimes use MagicSculp (A very soft putty.....Next to useless on its own for small scale figures) to mix in at around a 50/50 mix with either GS or PC to soften the feel of those brands of putty.
I find that useful for certain tasks.
Hope that helps...I'm sure I'll have to keep coming back to edit this....As Mr Preview still seems to be awol. ;)
Cheers - Phil
Awesome; thanks Phil. :)
So essentially, all green stuff is green stuff.
Thought you might have a "modelling" grade. :-\
Quote from: getagrip on 26 February 2015, 05:44:05 PM
So essentially, all green stuff is green stuff.
Not unless I've missed something, Gareth....Which Is
always possible. ;D
Just down to mixing different proportions.
Green stuff was originally sold as a 'plumbing putty'. for fixing leaks in pipes.....and very difficult to get hold of unless you lived in the USA.
Nowadays it appears that it's sold primarily/solely as a modeling putty.
There was a 'green putty' sold in tins (ages ago)...Not the same thing, at all.
I
believe that was a type of 'paste'.....again, to fix leaky plumbing.....Only ever
heard of that....Not seen it, never used it....Don't know of anyone that ever did.
There WAS a round 'tube' type of greenstuff......(I think produced by the same firm.)...Which I found in a DIY store,
well over 10 years ago.
That was a nice putty for working on 40mm figures (and bigger) as it was SO easy to smooth.
There was absolutely NO give in it, whatsoever, once it had set, though..(Think of a finished master made out of glass.)..So if you messed up.....You had to carve chunks away.
Again..That'd be of no use for the smaller scales.....Even if it is still iproduced. (Which I doubt ! ;))

Yes, better CDs than downloads where you don't actually own anything >:(
Of course, a significant factor is what CDs they are; I have a feeling I:
a) Won't like them;
b) Won't even know who the bands are.
Big Head Todd and the Monsters ?
Hadn't heard of them until a couple of days ago, when I did some surfing to find a particular track from a TV prog. (NCIS New Orleans)
Can't wait for that to turn up....I'll probably get told to stop playing it fairly quickly, though. ;D ;D
"Boom boom boom boom......." (Updated version of a John Lee Hooker song" )
Cheers - Phil
So.....
Yes on both counts then :D
Don't have a clue who they are!
From the other end of the ownership viewpoint:
I can't stop selling dvds and cds. Well, I mean there's been a few big boxes sent to musicMagpie as trade-ins. The cd rack is near empty; my music tastes have changed that much and I don't hardly listen to music anymore.
Don't worry, Gareth.
Up until a few days ago, I didn't either.

Am I allowed to say that I can't stop buying CDs ?
Got to have something to listen to, while I push the putty around.

Try Spotify, I have about 400 hundred cd's but now just set up the puter and off it goes. The free version gives you full access with the odd add or two whereas the pay for version is the same without the adds and you can use it offline.
Currently going through the back catalogue of Steeleye Span (22 lp's), then I will probably go on to all of Staus Quo. If you are painting it's brilliant because you can just keep going and not have to get up and change the cd every time.

Steeleye Span
Thought it was just me! Love 'em :)
Did you pick up any of Maddie Prior's solo stuff?
I used to have a few on tape -names escape me- but I do remember having a Silly Sisters tape.
My interest in folk music came from being in the Sealed Knot. I was cajoled into going to a local concert of the Albion Dance Band at Datchett, while we at the camp outside Windsor Castle at the time of Ma Windsor's Silver Jubilee thingy in 1977. They were brilliant as were Fiddler's Dram when I saw them at Lympne Castle . Absolutely detested 'Didn't we have a lovely time' when they brought it out. Like Fairport Convention as well.

Similar to me. Although it was the ECWS that introduced me folk music, Strawhead being a regular band I remember seeing at events.
I've just taken a look at the number of paints I have - ooer!

Heard of Strawhead, never got round to seeing them.Might look them up.
Who were you with? I was in at the start of Lord Saye and Sells.
And real ale!!! Yay, what a revelation that was.
Another thing I can't stop buying -in the pub of course.
(Nicely back on topic, even if I say so myself). :D :D

I'm like you.
But I had to move from a house to an apartment, and had to get rid of many books :'(

I agree with comments made in other threads that for books with maps you can't beat a "real" book but, other than that, my Kindle has prevented our house collapsing under the weight of literature ;)
Oh, I have a Kobo too. It's only marginally slowed down the inexorable spread.
