Out of curiosity... How long does it take you guys to paint a miniature? I know this is a slightly broad question... Specifically though, how long does it take you (on average) to paint a miniature (man-sized) to what you would call your average paint job? Cheers, Elladan |

about 5 hours or so but i am never satisfied with the results to be fair. It all depends on the figure too |

for models on foot 1 hour and 30 minutes for models mounted between two hours and 45 minutes. Yep most people say that I paint pretty fast. |

1 and a half hours, but my painting isn't good. |

For a standard 28mm then about 5 hours on average. For a huge troll then about 20-30 hours if I'm going for top quality. |

4 hours for a hero or mounted figure 1:40 to 2 hours for a normal model And the fast painting of normal models is because I normally batch-paint them with 10 at once. |

It depends hugely on what the mini is. If it's troops, they typically get batch painted, with colours blocked in then a wash, and doing this I can get about 10 minis done in just under an hour if it's a simple scheme like Uruks or Warriors of Minas Tirith. Heroes I spend longer on, so 2-3 hours depening on what exactly the mini has to paint. So far this year I have painted 101 LotR minis (and some 40k and Deadzone), so I'd say I get through stuff pretty fast in that regard. |

A very detailed man-sized hero miniature, about 3 hours. In average 2 hours. I find it so time consuming for myself that I go into long layoffs from painting projects, hence the backlog. |

I've never really timed myself but I'd guess 2 hours or so for a regular foot troop. Characters of course get more than this. |

Depends. Standard infantry get a good 3-4 hours each under the spotlight, while heroes and big monsters can take anything from 6-40 hours. The recent Wood Elf Treeman I painted took 8 hours just on the head alone, but then again, I am overly fastidious when it comes to painting. |

Single miniature: on average 10 hours or more, spread over weeks or months even. It's all about the quality I want to achieve. |

4-5 hours usually. I can go longer (or shorter!) depending on the model and its level of detail. Elrohir |

Over 6 hours. I guess I'm a perfectionist. Quendil wrote: 2 Hours to 10 years depending on if I get sidetracked by another project Know the feeling! Have a half finished painting project then get distracted and come back ages later only to discover your painting style has changed! Elladan |

EDIT: Got the numbers wrong the first time. Here are the correct figures. Thanks all. Your times range from 6 minutes to 10 hours! The average time is 3.5 hours! Elladan P.S. One day it might be fun to have a painting competition to see who can paint the best in a very short time frame? |
