The magnet baron stands aren't really that bad, definitely the easiest option and super easy to ignore the extra bits on the model once it's all painted up.
Painting the ships, however, is actual torture. Subassemblies galore and constantly rubbing off paint on the parts you're holding the ship by, because there's no real good way to hold it.
I'm glad I'll never have to paint another frig or ironclad again. The gunhaulers weren't too bad though.
