AArrrggghhhh
you sit there carefully cutting the models off the sprue, gently slicing, shaving and filing here and there. You lovingly put them and sand onto the base.
takes hours
you spray them and leave to dry.
all excited, you cant wait for the paint to dry before you can go to work on the colour scheme.
but......
after all that work theres at least one model per base that has had the mould lines enhanced by the spraying so that once where you thourght it was clean, there is a great dirty lump of plastic to remove!!
maybe we should do a murphys law of modelling thread as well.

Another of the many things I avoid by paying someone else to paint for me.

Hi Doc, due to the 4 gamers business I started my work on the Christmas Eldar early, and guess what showed up on the legs of a Wraithlord?

That happened when I was working on my Epic Eldar Exodite T-Rexs ... got out the Dino ref book ! Painted vertical stripes like it showed in the book and washed and detailed ! And like magic the lines became stripes !
