Was trying to glue a warped plastic (god i hate gakky gw plastic moulding) defiler by holding it together really hard. well defilers have lots of pointy bits so by the time I was done putting him together i had 3 cuts, two puncture wounds, and a very bruised hand

Cutting myself with my exacto when I was sposed to be cutting on a model

Alot of the injuries I've seen I wish had affected the genitals so the morons wouldn't be in the gene pool anymore.

U mad?

nope, hes probably just a great fan of the Darwin award.

One time when my friend's measuring tape retracted, the metal piece on it that allows you to pull the tape out snapped off and hit me in the forehead.

Dropped the same friend's metal Tyrant guard on my foot.

Parents distracted my while I was putting shadowsun together, ended up superglueing her to my palm and all my fingers together

Sneezed while glueing railguns to broadsides, lost an eyebrow getting it off.

That link about the gaming injuries doesn't work-can someone repost a working link? I was looking for some light bedtime reading

A variety of cuts to my fingers and hands, no nerve or tendon damage so far, so I'm all good.

and you can't call yourself a wargamer without feeling to touch of a blade while putting something of your army together.

Less like this please. Remember rule no.1

It's only about toy soldiers.

I'm just getting into modeling and I'm now legitimately scared.

Don't worry.


after you have lost the tips of your fingers the pain will become bearable.


"Pain makes one strong"

Nah, its all the fumes from the superglue and the plastic glue that make the world seem a more fun place. *giggles*

Pain is weakness leaving the body.

What is courage, but to defeat the fear you feel?

And, be smart, learn from other errors, and if they happend, most posts contain also what do to in order to solve it.

I just put it up a few days ago, wtfm? Just click on "articles", "humor" Painting & modeling humor", and you'll find it. There's some real gems of humor buried in the articles, like the 7 deadly sins of 40k.
