Multi-part plastic figures. Gluing them can be tedious.

also feeling that pain. How come that no matter how much de-flashing you do, as soon as you start painting you find some that you've missed

At 3. It’s painting British - something about red coats and white cross belts drives me mad.
At 2 - deflashing. A re-release of the ‘always miss a bit’ feeling.
And at 1, with a bullet - photographing the buggers. The camera never lies about the mistakes and always looks too glossy.
