Threatening always works well for me.
Actually - mine are such hams. My daughter gets offended when I use a different model. My youngest complains that I havent painted him as many times as the other two - and my 13-yr-old son is just easy going about it all. You've never met three more self-confident kids. We may have told them how beautiful they are a little too much!

There is always bribery as well. My kids will do a lot of posing for $10.
The only one I cant get to pose is my husband. He is willing, but I always seem to ask when he is busy or hasn't shaved, etc.. My mother-in-law is greatly offended that I haven't painted him yet....
