I recently painted my flaggellants (banner wielding,  self scourging, religious nutters)  with placards derding my long term gaming buddy.

These placards are about 3mm square and probably took longer than the whole unit (but it made me laugh and he only spotted it about two hours into the game).

So...what's your stupidly long piece of detail work?
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Samurai are ridiculous to paint!  You never know when to stop.

I remember back to my days of playing Adeptus Titanicus/Space Marine. painting up a couple of companies of space wolves, white scars and dark angels (in black) and painting all the chapter badges and unit markings. These days I really don't have that kind of patience anymore (nothing to do with my eyesight, honest)

Oh dear Lord, I remember painting them.  :o

I painted a vignette to show all the characters from "Inquisitor."

When I worked for GW and we held speed painting competitions in store,  we sometimes gave the guys 1 minute to paint a 6mm space marine  >:(
