Drew blood today while cleaning up parts for my succubus. Biggest cut yet, this one made a little mess on the model and my fingers before I put a bandaid on it (or a plaster as they say across the pond… my hobby confession is that my inner voice gets extra british when playing with Warhammer models. Some of the game rules are written in such a british way that to make sense of them it helps me to immerse myself into the b r i t i s h mindset. Like, instead of “health,” models have “wounds.” Most British thing I’ve ever heard of since the tower of london).
Makes me wonder if the off brand xacto blades I bought might have been a rip off….
But also the succubus is such a spindly piece of work, how can I expect to get a grip and cut it without the knife flying into my fingers once the knife goes through?
Caution’s the word.
As a wise man once told me: “Slow is pro.”
And now let me dismount my soap box.
I mean it’s only natural to test the limits on how sloppy we can cut I think for the sake of time.
Which reminds me… covid lockdown has given me plenty of time.
Anyways this post takes inspiration from Youtuber Glass Half Dead who posted about a cut on his fingers gotten in the heat of modelling. If this blog can be of service to a new generation, let it speak on the bad along with the good.
While we’re on the subject of yin and yang, the smell of super glue doesn’t bother me anymore. As a kid I hated the smell so much I rushed my glue jobs in order to get the cap back on as soon as I could.
