Blood for the Blood God!

So I did this today. Managed to skim an almost perfect circle of flesh about 2mm deep off the end of my knuckle whilst trimming some sprue.

What's the worst modelling-related injury you've managed to inflict upon yourselves?

That must of smarted a bit mate, savaged yourself. Worst I've done is drop modelling knife onto my thigh lol that was not cool!

This happened to a friend of mine, not me, but I think it's good enough to tell here;


About 15 years ago at uni, a friend who played WH Fantasy had just finished painting a unit of goblin spearmen - the ones holding a spear about 2 inches long vertically up.
He finished them, put them on the floor arranged in a unit to see how they all looked together then went to bed happy.

Then fell out of bed in the night.

He then had to phone another friend in the middle of thr night to take him to hospital, and then had to sit there for 2 hours while a nurse pulled 40 goblin spearmen out of his back with a pair of tweezers.

Tried to snap the blade of an OLFA knife by holding it firmly in MY BARE HANDS. After I slashed a super deep cut in my hand, my wife asked if I wanted a band aid. I told her I need a towel and we're going to the hospital. Got three stitches.

Thats awesome! I hope the models weren't too badly damaged.

I have two near-matching scars on my left hand. First was on the palm, just under the meaty part of the thumb - hobby knife. The mate, very middle of the same meaty part on the top between thumb and forefinger. That one measured almost 3.75 cm deep. Small circles around it for added cool from the stitches.

Haven't actually injured myself with modeling equipment yet, but one time I was eating hot wings while cutting parts off a sprue. I scratched an itch on my face and got wing sauce in my eye... Ow

Not bad, not bad. I imagined worse right before reading line two. Now, what kind of hot-wing guy are you? Atomic? ooooo, mas simpàtico.

no, not atomic, just regular spicy buffalo sauce.

Ya, you know, when it comes to the eye and hot sauces, I guess the degrees are lost somewhere in the mix of "omgomgomg is there an eyewash station near".
