Yep thats me at the minute. I seem to have lost my motivation to paint as I'm decidedly average at it at best.

1-5 hours right now but when I get really into painting I tend to spend 30+ hours a week doing it !

1-5 hours. Due to my painting skills i get very disappointed :( so I dont paint much ( try and paint)

I paint infrequently, but when I do Iv paint obsessively.

Example: I painted not a single model between October and January. Over the course of a week in February, I painted 63 Marines (averaging just under an hour per model)

2 hours a day maximum

Since its the summer I am sitting around 24 hours or more a week, once college starts again I go down to about 4

I clock up around 5 hours a week on average, 2+ hours twice a week usually, depending on how much the social life get's in the way.

I try and maintain a consistent amount of time painting for two reasons, one I spend a long time on each model, even rank and file are painted to the best of my skills, and two I like to purchase a new model kit each month so if I don't keep on top of the painting I'll have hundreds of plastic figures waiting and waiting and waiting.

I voted 16+ however that was up till Lords of Terra

Which was mid July

By agreement withthe wife

If I painted that much now, given its eveings after the little ones go to bed, which is our time

She would divorce me

So about 2 hrs a week since..

Till September anyway..

Marines are calling me..

Even 5 months in and I've attained the sought after trait of speed painting and am cutting through my model collection with zeal. The more I work on my models, the more inclined I am to continue buying them, as conversion and painting is my favorite part of the hobby.

Not enough. But that will change soon. Finally got some minis converted worthy of paint.

I voted 1-5 hrs a week because if I averaged it out over the month, that would be the range. Sometimes I'll go a few weeks without painting, but then on a Saturday or a Sunday, I'll sit down and have a 6-8 hr session.

Too much to count but I enjoy it very much!

Commission painter, if I didn't spend at least 20, I wouldn't get anything done.

Hmm. I try to paint about an hour a day. I'm pretty slow though, so an hour a day is like. The trim on a chaos space marine

Usually don't paint, but when I do, I do it for around a day. Just to get the unit(s) finished for a deadline.

I dont get much time to paint (ive got two kids under tge age of 3) but i try to get at least an hour in a day (thank god for nap time) but my record for painting is 18 hours strate (painted 9 ork bikers and a trukk)

If im lucky i can get in 2 hours a day.

It used to be 1-5 hours but now I've been painting from 11-3 in the morning all week and getting a lot of stuff done (so I'm in the higher bracket). Have to get my painting in to keep fresh for my commission service.

Spend an average of 1-2 hours assembling and painting my models every other day of the week

1- 5 hours weekly, Painting 5k of DKOK and a similar amount of beastmen cured me for the painting cravings I had before

I dont always paint... but when I do, I paint 20 infantry (yes im doing the beer guy)

I paint between 8 - 14 hours a day nearly every day of the week for the last 11 years.

I really need to spend more time painting... but I have so few projects at that stage anyway, it hardly seems to matter yet.

When I have figures to paint, I spend probably 21 hours a week painting, untill I've finished. Which is usually in a few days.

I wish i had more time to paint! uni and sports keep me fairly bussy but enjoy painting in my holidays.

I recently found myself in an odd position. Lots of down time with pay and nothing to do.

I tore a tendon in my shoulder and picked up commission painting as a cheap therapy.
