It's my fault, I had a quick repair I was squeezing onto the workbench, not enough room, the paint bottle tipped over… arggh! Haven't done that in a long time! Then I had 3 figures I was removing from their slottabases. First figure, I was able to snap the old plastic base in half, figure came right out. Second figure, even easier, it just pulled right out, leaving an intact base for a future figure. Third figure? Snapped off at the ankles, complete loss. Arggh! But other than that, had an amazingly productive hobby week.  |

Well, there's no point in crying over spilled paint. :-) |

I blame my recent life mishaps on alcohol. Have you been drinkin more in these lockdown times Bill? I have and I still go to the office every day. |

I split a bottle of paint also this week.Fortunately I paint on newspaper laid underneath my paints. It missed my figures and my other paints and just left a lot of paint on the newspaper. I was able to take the newspaper with the split paint and pour it back into the bottle, loosing only a little bit of paint that had soaked into the paper. Only the second time in my entire life of painting that I have done that. However I have learned from the first experience how to handle it. |

Greetings Boss: accidents happen. Back in the mid '70s I painted the wrong house…well at least that's what my boss said. |

I just dropped an opened bottle towards my trousers. Fortunately I managed to catch it and it was empty enough that only a small amount landed on my hand. Phew ! |

My 4 year old granddaughter got into my red paints last weekend using it for nail polish. Unfortunately it also painted the carpet in my office. Her nails did look pretty. |

Reminds me of the time that I had a clogged tip on one of my Vallejo bottles. I just squeezed it harder & harder until the top just blew off of it and then I had a nice big mess to clean up. But I won! |

Fortunately I paint on newspaper laid underneath my paints. Similar here. I bought a cheap plastic cutting board and use it as my main working area on my workbench. Spill was fortunately on an empty area, and I was able to evaluate nearby figures in time! Then I let the paint dry, and scraped it off the next day. I blame my recent life mishaps on alcohol. Have you been drinkin more in these lockdown times Bill? No, just too much haste! |

Snapped off at the ankles, complete loss. Arggh! Just drill and pin the ankles. They will be stronger than ever |
