Is there an unwritten (or publicly acknowledged) code among mini sculptors that states they must put an obscure, minute detail in the most ridiculous, unreachable area of a mini to make the painters life hell while trying to paint it? :?
Just been (attempting) to paint up some minis and they are annoying the [word deleted] off me! In particular one has a sword hilt up against the cloak but there's barely enough space to get your brush between the body and cloak to try and paint it!

Sook session over...

If you can't get a brush up there, how did they get a sculpting tool up there? Now thats a puzzling question :shock:. Some of those guys are so good it's disgusting and illegal.

Well, I may have exaggerated a little :P
With my jittery hands though it's tough to do it neatly.

Just because a figure is cast in one piece, doesn't mean that it was neccessarily sculpted in one piece. Highly detailed weapons/ armor/ faces are often done seperately then added to the main body of the mini, which can of course be frustrating when it comes to painting the final casts.
