Ack!
« on: 28 November 2010, 04:01:51 PM »
Sliced myself good and proper attempting to cut a Heroclix Mr. Fantastic figure free from his clicky base, requiring a trip to the emergency room and four stitches  :o

Behold the terror that is... FRANKENTHUMB!

Nah, tendons OK (fortunately). The splint is just there to keep it immobile and help keep the cut from reopening. I actually get to take it off today.

That's why I use cheap super glue to attach myself to figures they act both as a anti-slip guards and as a splint when you finally do slice your finger off. Very hard to pick your nose however!!

An impressive wound.

Hope you heal quickly, as painting and modelling (not to mention typing) with that on must suck!

Ouch! I feel your pain and have felt it repeatedly building architectural models! :) I remember once I was using a cutting ruler and a scalpel cutting a 4mm thick cardboard. The scalpel jumped onto the metal edge of the ruler and onto my index finger slicing through it length-wise. For a while I was a 10 fingered man with 11 fingernails... Fun for the entire family.

Hope it mends well, Heldrak!

Still bloody hurts though  lol

I got a plastic one that encompassed the whole thumb when I did mine. Four stitches is quite impressive though. I hope it mends well  :)

cheers

Ouch!

Much, much easier to do: Put them in the freezer overnight. The next day, they will snap off quite easily. Something to do with the chemical properties of the glue they use. Has never failed for me.

Memories, I am thinking of the time I stabbed myself in the hand with a pocket knife I was using to finish removing some flash from an airplane model :D
