Subject: Awesome ink shamelessly stolen from the Privateer Press forums (it's worth it)
Re the knife cuts - another good use for super glue.
Not a medical diagnosis, but...
- make sure the wound is clean
- stem the blood as well as is possible / practical
- apply super glue to the wound, always taking care to only glue the cut
- compress the cut until the glue takes effect
- get to hospital if necessary / stitches maybe are requried
Simples....

As a paramedic working the road I'm gonna advise against this. Use a pressure dressing if the wound is bad enough and head to the hospital.
That is disgusting. The guy in the green shirt should be ashamed of that facial hair.
“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

If we are talking about hilarious hobby-related knife wounds, I have a doozy.
On the weekends I like to go up to my workroom in the morning bright and early and get a little hobby work done. I generally do this before going through the normal morning routine (shower, breakfast, etc. etc.). It should also be noted at this point that I tend to get very queasy at the sight of blood, particularly my own.
So I am up in my room one morning years ago when my wife is pregnant with our first child. I'm cleaning mold lines with a hobby knife and I kinda have to pee, but I'm holding it because I don't want to stop until I've finished getting the last mold line off of the particular model I'm working on.
Then the blade slips...
Right into my finger, blade so fresh that I don't feel the cut. Now, knowing my tendency to go queasy at the sight of blood I have a standard procedure for these situations. I wrapped my finger up with a wad of toilet paper to hide the wound and dashed off to find my wife so that she, being more sober at the sight of blood, could kindly assess the damage.
My wife immediately says to me, "Hey, you look really pale. You should sit down."
And I immediately said, "Sure, but I really need to pee, so I'm going to do that first."
She, admonishing me to sit down, follows close behind. Now, I made it to the bathroom door. I made it into the bathroom. I made it to the toilet. And I even managed to start peeing...
Right before I passed out!
I woke up on the floor soaking wet having fallen unconscious like a stone right into my pregnant wife whist my just released bladder continued to release itself in a wildly uncontrolled manner.
I use a Micromark seam scraper now. Less nicks. Less blood. Less pee. Maybe that can be their new slogan.

Wow. I don't think you'll ever live that one down with your wife, right? BTW, I'm sharing this story with my girlfriend tonight because she is always concerned about my hobby time leading to injuries. Not sure why she is such a worry-wart, I mean I only cut myself every other time I build something--so that means half the time I walk away unscathed!

Hahaha, my memories of Airfix kits are very similar. Except that the Airfix kits tend to have more flash, less well aligned parts, stupid assembly steps that are unnecessary in there complexity, etc.
Free from GW's tyranny and the hobby is looking better for it

You should really avoid giving medical advice of your not a qualified practitioner. The above is not sound advice in a normal setting.

I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANYBODY DO THIS!
But my GFs mothers partner is a bit odd, he once kicked a glass door on accident at their last house. Huge gash and blood everywhere, (he was an alcaholic at the time, thankfully thats passed), he casually super glued it togther I found out and his leg healed fine. Apparently he super glues all his wounds! I am never going to do it personally, but he uses the same dirt cheap super glue for his wounds that I use for my models haha. But I found it shocking that he does not go to the hospital or anything for the serious ones. Just keeps applying glue until the body naturally bonds his skin together.
He (like my GFs mother) are hippies so maybe its some weird nature thing they practice or something i dont know.
I for one now keep super glue in my emergancy pack... Just incase...

When you nick your finger, pass out, and piss all over yourself; the only thing you can do is tell people about it. It is pretty funny, even if the joke is on me.

My worst injury was a saw blade to the hand. Was making foamboard terrain using a hobby saw (back in the day saw) and the saw was a tensioned GW hobby one. It snapped, and I got about a 1 and 1/2 inch shard in my hand.

I think super glue was originally something to do with stitching wounds rapidly.

Bought a rhino from ebay. I was trying to clean it up. My knife skipped while I was prying. I was prying with a knife because I make bad life choices. Knife went into hand, and I went into the bathroom. When I saw the puckering on the wound, I knew that superglue wasn't going to fix it this time.
Took an hour for me to get someone to my apartment to drive me to the hospital, because I about to drive myself bleeding like I was. I was in the ER for about five hours before they finally got me stitched up. 7 stitches and a nasty case of superflu that popped up a day or two later, and I was "better".

Have an exalt! In 25 years of gaming that's the best hobby injury story I've heard.
There’s a difference between having a hobby and being a narcissist.
