I've been painting mini's since '77. The days of Heritage, Minifigs, and Ral Partha. One of these days I may repaint some of those minis.

I really got into painting during the late 80's when Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader came out, Aly Morrison from GW showed some of his painted minis in White Dwarf and I was hooked again.

I'm a bit of pack rat. I have mini's from every decade. My unpainted mini collection is probably around 5000 figures. The joke around here is a GW wood elf army I bought 5 years ago, with the idea I would paint up an army so my wife could play. They are still in the original blisters.
