Custom WorkstationSo A lot of us here have been customizing for a long time or even some of the beginners but what are your #1 biggest aspect of customizing that just frustrate you to no end ?
Mine are either joint rub OR Waiting for stuff to dry are my #1 killers

Possible bro.... but unlike us customizers, they probably do it on purpose
But my most MAJOR is accidentally touching a finished sculpted area... I hate that
Like, I've done sculpting boobs and while I proceed sculpting the butt I accidentally hold on to the boobs.
Then I resculpt the boobs, I touch the butt. It can go on forever
It can still be very dangerous though because a lot of model paints contain lead,
hate painting things white
Hate hate hate hate paint rub
Hate having to sand sculpt AFTER you paint the crap
Hate when Im trying to mix a shade a want and all of a sudden the paint starts turning a different color complety
HATE accidentally drinking water I was using to clean paint brushes
HATE when a song I don't wanna hear comes on my shuffle while my hands are coated in gloves, piant,glue, sculpt, etc.
HATE using super glue. I swear that stuff was made by evil DBag wizards to make sure it gets on my hands EVERY time I use it
I used to hate sculpting boobs and butts till my wife started live modeling for me
A good trick is to give the part a black undercoat, black's a good colour (or shade if we're being particular) for showing imperfections in a sculpt.
I agree, I generally just marker over the sculpted area with a permanent marker if I'm looking for imperfections.

1) Losing tiny pieces on the carpet, that I've spent a considerable amount of time working on, never to see them again. Sometimes I get so mad, I scrap an entire project when I lose a piece, particularly if it's one that would take hours to replace.
2) Making duplicate pieces. Having to do the same thing, over-and-over again, drives me up the wall. I love spider monsters, but, man, oh, man, do I ever hate having to make eight identical, or nearly identical, legs. Sometimes I'll make a mold and do castings, but, doing that takes just as much time, or more so, than sculpting the pieces individualiy, so it's usually not worth it.
3) Injuries. Almost everything I make involves getting stabbed, cut, burned, super-glued to myself or other objects, etc. I am not a careful person.
4) And, last, but, not least, is when things just go wrong in general. Something doesn't fit, I forgot to do something, a tool breaks, etc. If you're having a run of bad luck, sometimes it's just best to shelve a project, or put it away till another day, to save your sanity and blood pressure, if nothing else.
Everyone in my house suffers when this happens to me
I wouldn't say its petty cuz I hate that too here we call it the rule of superglue use it make a mess just how it is
Searching for a lost part. I've spend days searching for parts I've misplaced...endlessly annoying.
Sanding in small recessed areas.
Finding an imperfection in the sculpt while you're painting, and having to go back and sand it.
