Abstract

Collecting is a major part of the miniaturing pastime, in which enthusiasts collect, paint, and play games with small historical and fantasy wargaming and role-playing figurines. Miniaturists often have large collections of miniatures, and many buy more miniatures than they have time to paint. This quantity of unpainted miniatures is often referred to as a pile of shame. In this chapter, we explore the collecting of miniatures and the pile of shame phenomenon through a thematic analysis of qualitative survey data (N = 127). Our analysis suggests that an amassed collection of miniatures poses both practical and existential potential and challenges and may be both beneficial and detrimental to personal sustainability. Although the concept of a pile of shame is typically a shared source of humour, it is also a relevant part of the miniaturing pastime, and an important aspect of how miniaturists curate and view their collection.

Diorama, in the context of fantasy and historical miniatures, refers to a three-dimensional scale model of a situation, containing miniatures in a scene, such as a fantasy battle or a moment on an adventure.

The life cycle of the miniature as a physical object, starting from its manufacture and ending in its physical disintegration, would be very different.
