For the past 40 or so years, I always forget about the inside leg seams and the seam under the ears. Almost every time I do this.
Please tell me I am not the only one..

...trying to paint them...
yeah, did not even want to go there....
probably have 50 or boxes stil sealed, with 50 or so sets built and in various baggies all thru the garage.
I was thinking of just having a primer grey vs. primer white army and leave it at that...
Manstein's revenge "What Mistake do you keep making, year after year with figures ?" ...trying to paint them...
I only recently returned to modeling. Working on my 6th project and every figure from all 6 kits are in baggies in the parts box. As usual, Manny strikes to the heart of the problem.

Not even attempting to build/paint them...
I ALWAYS get about 50 times the amount of artist oil on my pallet then I actually need for doing 1/35th scale figures. Every time I waste so much
Posting them here.
"Well...you gunna pull them pistols, or just whistle Dixie?"
I do the same thing as Smeagol. Always put WAY too much on. However, I usually have an armor project around, so I use the leftovers for filters. Usually, my construction is always clean. It's the painting... no matter what, I never blend the colors just right. I'm not sure if I'm rushing it, doing it wrong, or just failing.

I love to leave the seam behind the ears. Or partial shave the ears off while fixing said seam.
But my favorite mistake is to handle them too soon, and smudge the oil paint right off the face of the figure.
Note the missing paint on the nose of this guy. And yes, I re-did the eyes so they are less buggy!
