You were asked – TMP link What injuries have you sustained in pursuit of the hobby? 27% of the votes: "razor/knife slice/cut/scrape" 24%: "glued fingers/skin together" 12%: "breathing fumes" |

I still have a scar between my right thumb and index finger from a knife slip from around 1970. I was trying to carve a mortar pit into a balsa wood Vietnam assault boat. |

Glued fingers count as an injury? I thought it just came with the hobby. It's like saying paint stained fingers are an injury. |

It was years (no, decades) ago that I cut my left index finger while trying to kitbash an airliner model into an Ilyushin 28. I learned 2 things that day-- "Use the right tool for the job", and "A man's got to know his limitations". Still have the scar. |

Does a bruised ego count? |

I use a knife to remove a just-based fig from his base. I am careful with the knife and impale my finger on the corner of a metal base. (Uh, it happened to a friend. yeah, that's it, it happened to a friend) |

Laid a razor knife on my painting table. AS I worked on something, it rolled off the table…. now the knife was standing up in my thigh. Didn't hurt as much as it looked….a very sharp new blade…. but ouch |

Does seeing spots caused by a profanity coniption after getting red paint on a good white dress shirt count as a hobby related injury? In response to the obvious question: How the elephant got in my pyjamas, I'll never know! |

Paper cuts wading through the latest 'must have' rule set (and back injuries caused by lifting some of them!). |

Do head injuries from a frying pan count, when administered from your wife when you neglect her for too long while painting? |

Nope, that's a scoping problem. SEMBO just got her minis for the new Ascension Kickstarter minis game (a mini game derived from the Ascension deck building game universe). So … guess who paints "her" minis? |
