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.

Do not work on spear and pike man barefoot or naked.

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

Stepping on a D4 barefoot is bad,try stepping on 2.

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?

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP09 Mar 2022 3:01 p.m. PST

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?
