My bench area is a hot mess. A true sign I've been building...

I like Mike's setup too. My paint organization is terrible, I waste a lot of time looking for the right color. As soon as I finish all my models I will fix that....

A couple tins of Humbrol enamels
AK Interactive Rwal Colors - at least 4 or 5
Vallejo Model Color
Gunze/Mr. Color
Akan acrylics - 2 bottles
One. Single. Bottle. of Pactra Dark blue. Yeah it's still good after all these years.

But who's counting....
I have some in most of those brands. No Polyscale or Pactra. Never liked Pactra way back when.

I do that, too. Although, I never knew just what had until now.

Lyle, this sounds perfectly normal to me. I'm probably at the 300 bottle mark myself... testors, MM, pollyscale, tamiya, Mr Color, Gunze Aqueous, Vallejo... You name it... I got back into modeling about 30 yeas ago, so 10 bottles a year is not bad right--ok, let's make it 15 a year to account for the ones I actually finished..
