You were asked – TMP link What's your least favorite aspect of the pre-paint prep process? And in the final round of voting: 60% said "carving, filing, sanding off (flash, spurs, webbing, seam lines)" 19% said "complex assembly – three or more joins" 7% said "leveling the base"

I don't mind a reasonable amount. But when I feel that I'm having to re-carve the figure I get cranky. This is especially noticeable on some horse and camel legs. Means I don't re-order from that company.
