On batch size I'm like Graham - in 28mm I find 10 already too many, so 5-8 is the rule. 15 mm SYW I did one battalion in two batches of 12 (intending them to be two batt. before we switcherd to larger units) and the next in one go, but found the incremental approach more satisfactory. The of course I also did 100 Terracotta Chinese in one sitting...<br>- Whatever, just keep it up!<br>Stefannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-33308298590558094222005-12-12T12:49:12.000+01:002005-12-12T12:49:12.000+01:00Judging wargamers, drat! :) As it stands the corre...Judging wargamers, drat! :) As it stands the correlation coefficient R is now a whoppingly low 0.2 while the probability of no correlation is a high 0.7 ...<br>Ah well, at least conclusion C) still holds.<br>However, I'm willing to bet that there is a correlation between the amount of lead in stock and hair loss though :)<br>BartDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-53012604365446516052005-12-09T16:50:50.000+01:002005-12-09T16:50:50.000+01:00I score a mere 78% judging - I guess I must have l...I score a mere 78% judging - I guess I must have loosened up a bit lately.<br>Batch size is not very consistent for me, for 10mm (Warmaster) I normally paint up one blister per time (that's 6 strips).<br>For 28 mm, it really depends on period.

Anyway when you take the test (click on the 'work out' link) you'll get a four letter combination with percentages underneath them. Take the last letter (either J or P) and corresponding percentage.

The highest I've ever gone is 8 bases per batch, when I painted my Polybian Roman DBM army (about 64+ bases) in 3 days.<br>I find I tend to paint in concentrated spurts - and I find that when I get into the swing of things, I can endure a longer wait for the gratification of completion than normally. It's different for other tasks though - for building tanks (model kits) I tend to do one at a time, with the most I've ever done being 3 at a time (I found that taxed my patience).<br>I came out INFP on this test ... and I'm sure that the last time I took it (5 years ago) I scored quite differently ...<br>wahjhttp://wargamer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-22104316285939839592005-12-08T13:02:19.000+01:002005-12-08T13:02:19.000+01:00I come out at 11% P and batch size - it depends.

For 25mm 8 seems to be about right, and the same for 15mm vehicles, except that 25mm simple uniforms like ACW come out at the whole unit - so 16 to 28, while complex ones such as Hussars or Zouaves 8 is enough. The Macedon project has seen 3 batches of 8 in constant process at various stages of completion. For 15 mm figures though it is definitely whole units at a time. The range is therefore 12 (SYW through to 80 for WW1 WW2)and again different batches can be in different stages of completion.

But I'm sure that's a valid point you're making there.<br>Personally, I try to go for something between the batch process and a few figures at a time. In 6mm, i can paint 150 figs at a time, in 15mm I prefer to limit myself to 16 or 24 but can go up to 50, for example with warbands. There I would stick about 5 or 6 figures onto a strip of card, and each strip would have the same selection of colours. So, for example, use beige either for the trousers or tunic, etc. Yoou can later base them quite satisfactorily.<br>For 25mm, I find the painting more tiresome, so I stick to about 8 figures a time so I don't get too bored.<br>Overall, I find the 15s to be the easiest and most satisfying.<br>But sorry, that wasn't the question you asked. Maybe you have the answer from this material?<br>Alannoreply@blogger.com
