If you're not bleeding - you aren't trying...

 

[fourseas]

I can honestly say I don't believe I have ever built a wooden ship model that I haven't left a little blood or skin tissue somewhere on it. It's almost like a signature.

Does a trip to the ER & stitches count ?

 

[Davidp]

if it was caused while building a model then yes.

This is a new one for me, and I love it!! I used to worry about sanding out blood stains. Not anymore!!!!

Realism is exactly what we are looking for. Goal achieved.

The price of ship modelling: blood, sweat and tears. And totally worth it!

Should we smear the heads to get an authentic aroma?

 

[Davidp]

no thankyou as the blood we spill is realistic enough without the smell.

Bob, The cutting implements are supposed to be used on the materials to build the ship model !
HOpe it's nothing serious.

@Senorbob, do you want to go to the meeting on Tuesday?

 

[Senorbob]

unfortunately I have an appointment with my nemesis at moffett

 

[MisterCA]

Ha. I can't do anything now without bleeding. I thought it just came with the territory.

Your observation raises some interesting questions regarding the proper weathering of hull sides beneath the heads and quarter galleries of period warships.

Here's a safety tip to avoid bloodshed (or worse). If an Xacto knife rolls off your workbench don't close your legs to try to catch it.

 

[Davidp]

is not just the legs but the feet to keep away from falling pointed objects. experience.
