What do you hate painting?

[fsn]

Horse furniture?

Just had a massive bonfire....Poo, I smell !

You do know that when the fire gets going, you're supposed to get off?

[getagrip]

No Nobby,

You're not supposed to be on in the first place!

[Fenton]

Maybe he has a Guy Fawkes fetish

[getagrip]

To go with all the others 

[Westmarcher]

Ducks .......... I hate painting ducks ...........

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Why?

[Westmarcher]

 ....... for some reason, acrylics just don't work ...... and an ink wash just runs off ....


[thankfully, I don't use them (much) in war-games]

[Last Hussar]

Toy soldiers!

Something of a disadvantage for a wargamer, I feel.

I love the end result, the process ... not so much.

This. Just this.

[Shecky]

I actually like painting horses. For me, I don't like painting limbers.

[toxicpixie]

Horse furniture. Boring as hell!

This. Totally this. Doubly so when you can't find any conclusive reference to colour, do it a generic colour and then immediately find condescending "everyone knows blah-blah always had purple coloured gear" that some how escaped notice..

Or even just black. As you then go back and repaint black all the stuff you undercoated black and then painted over...

[FierceKitty]

Horses. Dulllllllllllllllllllllllllll. (except Red Injuns).

[barbarian]

Good things, the meso-americans had none, then.

[irregularwars]

Pikemen. Any scale - loath them. There's just too many of them!

Also 1:1 scale houses...

[FierceKitty]

Good things, the meso-americans had none, then.

Why d'you think I'm so eager to get them?

[Leman]

So you can spend hours painting jaguar spots.

[Maenoferren]

I'm currently battling with several projects; many of which are close to completion apart from........... Bases!!!

I hate basing.  Love the finished article but the process is interminable 

So, what's your painting hate?  Could be a unit, might be an item ; whatever.

What's yours and why?

[FierceKitty]

So you can spend hours painting jaguar spots.

Nah, just mix coffee grounds into yellow ochre.

[Westmarcher]

Nah, just mix coffee grounds into yellow ochre.

Seriously, never tried that, does that work? (Once - and only once - painted Murat on his horse complete with leopard skin horse furniture) Is it not a bit 'grainy' and if so, would not flow off your brush?

Horses (even one or two 'professional' painting services are a tad suspect when it comes to horses).

Stonework (and brickwork). I spend ages painting a stone bridge for example and still not completely sure about the result.

[FierceKitty]

No, no, no. Banter. Don't put that on my conscience! I was kidding!!!!!

[barbarian]

About bricks : Paint it brown red.

Then spots of different reds, brown, orange (You don't need to be accurate)

Kind of dry/wet brush of a lighter orange/red vertically from top to bottom. (zenithal light)

LET DRY !!

You can put a matt varnish if you wish so now.

Then, with oil colours, put light grey/white in the cracks. Clean the walls with a towel to let the white (mortar) only in the cracks.

It is over.
