I've sold some painted figures in the past and ended up regretting it sooner or later on virtually each one. My attitude nowadays is I'll trade or sell unpainted lead as I can always get it again if I really want it at some point, but that's not true of painted figures.<br />Nicely painted figures are premium items and great care should be taken before giving them up is my best advice.:-)<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-58410392238317135952013-07-13T18:35:42.950-05:002013-07-13T18:35:42.950-05:00Fingers crossed Jonas.

I'd only played them once and regretted it pretty quickly. When a good fellow let me in on an Essex buy, I jumped. And now the circle is complete. I moved from "I made a huge mistake selling!" to "I made a huge mistake repainting!" ;-)<br /><br />I want to see the French Richard!

I know I have to be careful about this. I churn & burn my painted figs with the assumption that I can always paint up more. I'm getting older and one day, I won't be able to paint as well (or perhaps at all) and then I'll have some remorse. Maybe I should be pickier about selling. Food for thought.

I need to really,really want to get rid of painted figures as it takes so long for me to paint figures.<br /><br />I find amassing unpainted lead not to difficult, but amassing painted lead a whole different issue. I envy you the ability to paint good and fast.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-42750196047254427002013-07-09T15:35:21.361-05:002013-07-09T15:35:21.361-05:00Thanks Cyrus, I appreciate it!
