Expanding the Painting Points system

Ok, so the last time I came up with Quint-M, (Modified Motivational Method of something or other) it didn't catch on quite so well... Ok maybe keeping track of how much stuff you assembled in a month isn't so impressive.

In this post, I'm tackling a smaller problem... how do you account for all those non-miniature items you spend time painting? Such as the Temple of Skulls scenery, or all the new stuff GW puts out? I think if you spent 2 days painting a bastion/blastscape/aegis line then you should get credit for it. Here's my proposal for painting points, as adjusted by the cost of the scenery kit (because bigger is usually more expensive)-

For every 10 dollars the scenery piece is worth (MSRP), +5 painting points?

This way, stuff you make on your own can also factor in. Just estimating the cost of materials should get you a decent enough figure to determine painting points from.

Anybody see value in this, or am I barking up the wrong Citadel Trees?
