1) You try to do the eyes on 10mm
2) You paint the interior of your tanks just before you glue all the hatches on
3) You spend half a day getting the rose just the right tint for IR 40
4) You paint the laces on the shoes
5) You paint clothing that you would need a microscope to see
6) You blackline all the straps – and I mean all the straps
7) Your painting table collapses under the weight of the paints
8) You have a paint for every colour in nature – and many that are not
9) Other
10) Painting OCD? You clearly have not looked at any of my minis!
11) Not a painter (thank God) |

I know someone who painted the cuff stripes and buttons on 15mm ACW officers. |

7 – Probably would happen except I have a very sturdy (i.e. HEAVY) table. |

#13) You avoid painting like the plague. Nicely painted minis can be found in many, many places. My paint table and storage area and not any of those "places". |

Forget the 3 foot rule. If it looks okay under an Optivisor with a #4 lens plate! |

if it has been sculpted, it should be painted. nothing OCD (CDO) about that. |

Lace and mitre caps on SYW British grenadiers. |

Anyone who's ever entered a Pendraken painting contest would see no issue here. |

When you paint tartan and dicing on Napoleonic Highlanders in 6mm: link |

Whirlwind for the win!!! I painted earrings on my 6mm Old Guard. Does that count for CDO? |

You paint an anatomically correct view in case some looks under the kilt. |

Certainly guilty of 6 and 8 at times. Once painted bolts on to wire pikes and outlined them in black…

Great ideas – and I have to second the vote for Whirlwind |

#6 … I enjoy painting those little tiny black lines on all of those lovely white straps, and refuse to accept that it's a problem. |
wonders if he can resize 3Dprinted dungeon tiles to match his other dungeon tiles…
