For example, I have one set of figures painted to resemble the uniforms of the Tennessee Titans (well, before this coming season).
I have a paper model I did of a Sci-Fi APC that says "Abandon Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" on its rear door exterior, and "Have a Nice Fight!" on the same door's interior. The side doors have instructions: "Shut Down Jump Jets Before Entering." Also, the APC is bright red with metallic bits, has turn signals as "red and green" running lights, and bears the name "Lola." How about you? Let's make this a poll:
I include jokes on my figures.
I include jokes on vehicle models.
I include jokes on terrain.
I mix ‘em up.
No, I don't do humorous embellishments unless they were actual period bits.
I don't paint. |

Closest I ever came was painting smiley faces on Boxer Rebellion Tigerman shields.
But there they are in the Sacred Text, an Osprey book! |

And the Teutonic Whimsey "personal markings" on German aeroplanes in the Great War? It's already there. |

All the time. My zombie collection has multiple famous faces including; Jerry Springer, staff, and guests as well as Michael Jackson and a host of others. The terrain includes the Springer Trailer Park. On my strip
Club (The Fox Hole) there is a space marked Clergy Parking. |

Yes, all of the above, when I can. I also have a taste for fictional horror and enjoy playing and collecting gothic. So some of the humor is dark. It i not wargaming but it is minis: my wife had a collection of the big italian nativity village figures, and we had three angels on top of the building. I saw a same-scale model of Las Vegas Elvis kneeling with his cloak widespread like wings and added him to the angelic group and it was actually several years before anyone noticed. Dunno if their not seeing him makes it more funny or less. |

I'm actually looking for a Duck Dodgers (in the 24 1/2 century) and Porky Pig 'Cadet" figures for my Retro Raygun collection, as well as a particular Martian named Marvin. Does that count? |

Deep within the bowels of a vasal edition of Poltava, someone had put Daffy Duck dancing in a dress over the counter of the Duck Dragoons. |
