What do you hate most about building a kit ?

[skiff]

Driving home from work at the only night in the week you can do something on your modelling hobby, getting a flat tire, and discovering that the spare tire from your freshly bought second hand car has developed a nice bulge, ready to explode.

By the time I got everything rolling again, and got home, I just wanted to go to sleep. Next time better luck.

(spare tyre has been replaced by a decent one, so next time 10 minutes is all I need.)

for me its the clear parts, i hate painting the windows.
i totaly hate glueing the windows in.
i realy realy hate the headlight lenses, a perfect model can be screwed up by a tiny bit of clear plastic.
when you have to glue the lens to the body it always has a crappy edge where the paint disolves slightly and makes it look pants

cant tamiya find a better way of mounting this lot? and please pre paint em all

Painting the body, it's the hardest part for me.

Shaking a bottle of paint, and then discovering that you hadn't tightened the cap properly last time you used it ang getting little flecks of paint all over your work bench. Thank GOD only my desk got painted, and they all missed my model... whew!! But for a moment I was about to murder the entire world.

Other than that one thing, there is nothing about this hobby I particularly hate.

I have to agree with Ray. Tons of ideas and nothing realy that I hate. Other then that, it's finding the time to do all those ideas and projects.

I used to hate painting, but after getting the P-man shine once, I love it, so I love every part about builing models.

Waiting for the paint to dry always frustrated me! I left finger pins behind everytime I go back to check the wet paint job! I am not a bomb, but.... Spare some patient please!!!
