Re: modeling injuries
I've had some near-misses, where I've dropped a Nr. 11 X-Acto knife and narrowly missed my foot.
I still have a scar on the tip of my left middle finger, where I slipped and stabbed myself with a Nr. 2 X-Acto blade at 15. More recently, I've occasionally drilled into various fingertips, using a pin vice and drilling for pinning on 54mm figures or in detailing smaller aircraft models. I should start using thimbles...
