I've painted a bunch of models for my wife. If we'reout shopping and I drag her into the FLGS she quite often sees something she likes. Sometimes she buys them herself and hands them to me announcing that I have to paint them for her. When I use my Sylvaneth army I have to ask her permission to take the treelord as technically it belongs to her.

Fortunately, I AM some kind of filthy casual hobbyist, so I love it. I make an extra effort on her models, in fact. A couple of years ago I bought her two Lord of the Rings Great Eagles for her birthday and stayed up most of the night painting them for her as a surprise present.

What's weird is that now her mother wants me to paint up a Saint Celestine for her! I'm not sure she's even read up on her rules.
