Right. Which I think is a good goal. IMO I think it counts a little too much, but I'm glad we have it nonetheless. I was just saying it's unfortunate in my particular case of someone trying to make a major army switch to a line of models that involve a lot of sculpting, converting, and magnetizing. Time invested in slapping on an easy paint scheme (rustcrons, woo) is rewarded under the system, whereas a lengthy sculpting or converting job to create a cool model or vehicle is not (even though it might take more time and effort than a basic paintjob). For people like me that enjoy & are good at creative modeling & bad at & not so enthuasitic about painting, it's annoying since we can't start any painting until the model work is done.

All that said, I can't think of an alternative since there's no clear & objective wsy to award points for anything but % painted. I think our current rating system is about the best option...
