Every time you're cleaning bits and pieces and then after careful cleaning and then putting glue on the part you see you missed a spot.
.. That happens almost every time I'm trying to put something together

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless and perfunctory gift nobody ever asked for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down because there's nothing left to drink. Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or a English toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those all you've got left is a. An empty box, filled with useless brown paper wrappers. |

It's only worse if you don't notice until midway through painting...

Nah, what I hate is cleaning up a tiny part, like an antenna or piece of tiny pipework or something, getting rid of all the mould lines, filing off all the nubs, so it's perfect, then picking it up with the tweezers and PTOOOOINKKK! Clink! (off a lamp) *clink* (further away) aaaand, gone. Eaten forever by the carpet monster.

This. Usually I catch mistakes after priming. But the ones that you only notice while you are taking pics of your work are the worst, especially since you can't figure out how you missed it.

There's a few on my gaunts that I simply ignore. Either mold lines or chunks or sprue. I've got more stuff to paint, so gaunts can just stay as they are.

What I hate most when it comes to that is my cat. Spend all that time working on something, I turn around to look at something or get something and when I go back to what I was doing its gone. I swear that cats a ninja. I look at her and she just looks at you like what " you didn't see nothin".

I did this with an Exorcist:
Spent an entire weekend putting the damn thing together, filing, bending, filling, etc.... then put on the primer, first washes for shading, basecoats.... Got to putting the final details on when I found a huge 'leg' of flash sticking out from not one but three honour badges on the back of the main launcher :(
Sure, it's an easy enough fix but, I thought I had been soooo meticulous the first time around! Wonder what else I missed.... Can't wait until it's finished and someone points out that the servitor has a third eyebrow or something :S

All. The. Time. I swear I'll remove all the little metal flash bits, then come to find that I missed a ton more come painting time.
I'm actually pretty miffed at my broodlord, because as it turns out apparently I forgot to paint his eyes. And there's a mysterious spot on his foot of a paint I did not use on him. Neither of which I noticed untill after I sealed him.

I'll be as through as I can with a model, then after the primer goes on so many mold lines magically return.

Haha I'm glad i'm not the only one suffering under these horrible meetings with fate.
I also often try to be careful when removing flash lines, usually they just follow a sort of circle around the miniature, even though i follow it like a champ i still find things after putting characters together:x
