This is a sub of the ink spill one but:

No 24 Finishing a miniature then upending a pot of paint on it.

Just finished putting the finishing touches to a bunch of flagellants and up turned a Charcoal Black pot of pain all over three of them.  A quick rush to the tap and washed most of it off.  Just last week I noticed some "dirt" on the tap - turned out to be a splash of charcoal grey!

No. 25: NEVER (accidently) spray paint basil or other kitchen herbs/plants on your balcony. Females will ALWAYS notice!

No.26 : Clipping brass spears to make them shorter and realising that as the clipped end flies off at the speed of sound your son has just walked into the shed and you missed blinding him by a couple of centimetres...

Snap! Great absent minded beggars think alike. If someone aked me what Vallejo English Uniform tasted like, I'd have to say rather like Russian Caravan or at times like Earl Grey.

 I think we've probably ALL done this at one time! (I say one time, I really mean about a million times!) lol

No.27 spending ages carefully sculpting green stuff feathers/scales/armour, only to turn it round and realise you've put a finger a part that's not cured!  :'(

No.28 The old GW pot lids used to be quite difficult to open, but would then suddenly release! The amount of times I dropped a full bottle of Salamader Green on my mums cream carpet!! Opps! Sorry mum!

No.29 Old fantasy battle players will recognise this one. Playing with your Orc and goblin army and forgetting how sharp those fucking plastic goblin spears are, only to put your hand down and lift it up and have ten of the wee bastards painfully jabbed into your hand! :'(

Ow, I can relate to that.
The High Elves' spears were nasty too - and they all came in one box!

No. 30: Gluing part on a model the wrong way round ...

... i.e. the left arm on the right shoulder.  Usually this is only done with the most tricky of bits, after meticulous planning and at least 3-4 seconds of admiring your work before realising your error.

Yes, it's always a colour that doesn't match the carpet too!

My mate once did it with white spirit, on HIS mate's Mum's carpet.
I was not around to see the reaction, but I bet it was NOT pleasant.....
