There's a reason why I use clippers and not a knife when removing models from the sprue.

I did set myself on fire once with a spilled pot of super glue.

Go on.....

Cutting sprue with an exacto knife

Very deep gash in my middle finger.

Super glued it back together though

glued my fingers together, tried to set them free with xacto blade... BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!
Also intersting note: american soldiers used cyanoacrillate glue in Vietnam war to quickly stop bleedings...

Dropped the old gryphon-mounted Eltharion on my foot once. That hurt. I'm probably the only human who's survived a gryphon attack.

Ive had the usual cuts from a blade and the odd pin vice stab to the finger, which leave scars here and there.
Not to mention cuts from bloody sprues -_-

My best is still an odd one though, and it was 100% not my fault either!
Was just playing a pick up game at the local GW and there was the usual bad tempered child in there, he lost a game to someone and in his temper he through a ghazghkull model.

I managed to catch it using the side of my head as i was talking to someone at that point.

6 stitches and a minor concussion later i was fine, but it bloody hurt for a while.


Anyone who has felt the weight of that metal model should know what im talking about.
Thank god its finecast now haha.

I feel lucky.

The worst I've gotten is gluing my fingers together once (they came apart without the need for even a band-aid). I've also had superglue dry on my fingertips, but I just alternate soaping them up and scraping the glue off with a thumbnail under a running warm tap. Other than that, it's mostly just filing tiny grooves in my fingernails while I'm filing models. I guess it helps that I don't really use a modeling knife at all, and instead use my clippers or files for pretty much everything.
