Anyone else think that painting and decaling ordnance is tedious at times?

I can never get shells and shell casings to look right.

It's the same for any dull, repetitive task. Ship modelers have squads of tiny ship's boats and 20mm mounts. Or ask any armor modeler how much fun it is to clean & paint road wheels or [gulp] individual track links.

You've just got to put some good tunes on the boom box [substitute more contemporary technology, as applicable] and enter a 'Zen' state. Each 'step' gets you closer to the finish. Beer

The basic painting is not so bad. But all the markings, especially on modern or US ordnance. Stripes, stencils, fuses, sensors... each can be a mini project of its own.
