For me, it's those damn 25mm Ral Partha "Kurita Battletroops".	I have
close to a hundred
of them, with the 1/72nd scale vehicles to match, and I just cannot
paint them to my own
satisfaction.  I've tried five or six times, and the result either looks
horrible or takes
too long to paint.  I'm due for another try in the near future.
