Matcap86 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 A silent single tear rolled down my cheek. Followed by a lot of swearing as I went to scrub the clumps of paint remaining on there. It now sits in clear view as a reminder of my laziness and till I muster the courage to retry it.

Captain Idaho Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Yeah after my mishap in the OP, some of the broken stuff got stuffed in a box and won't be touched until I'm over the emotional trauma Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375166-worst-hobby-mishaps-and-act-of-chaos-god/page/2/#findComment-5850506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Clock Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Nothing quite so dramatic as some of these, personally... As far as lost or forgotten items, I still pine for my second Defiler which disappeared when I moved house one time... For accidents my worst was probably a glue bottle explosion from letting a big fishing case full of odds and ends sit in a summer car for too long - again, during a house move. Luckily I had the presence of mind to put the glue bottle in a little hollow of one corner in the top of the case, but my Wraithlord (the biggest Wraith unit then in production) was up there with his arm-mounted falcon pulse laser pointing too close to the glue pool and I think the tip of that gun is still glued down in there. The Model sat languishing through ~3 editions of 40k until I re-painted for new 'Dex (and still not based, lol): Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375166-worst-hobby-mishaps-and-act-of-chaos-god/page/2/#findComment-5850513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Sacrifice Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I was once happily hobbying in my pants and dropped a space marine helmet. Didn't hear it bounce, and couldn't find it on the chair. Strange, I thought, but moved on. Turns out I'd super glued it to my inner thigh, but didn't figure it out until I was at work the next day.

Slave to Darkness Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) On 7/26/2022 at 8:58 PM, Remain_Indoors said: I have a two inch scar at the top of my right thigh due to hobbying. I was carving some flying bases into icicles for the bases of some Space Wolves. And of course, being a pillock i wasnt using the cutting mat properly. The knife slipped, past my desk, straight through my jeans and into my leg. I ended up with four stiches and a nice reminder to be safer with knives in future. I sliced my middle finger down to the bone as a kid trynna cut a plastic marine in half with a blunt pen knife. The scar is still really visible and I did that back in 94-95, I still remember the feeling of the blade slicing through even after all these years. I also have a very funny scar on my butt because I put my hobby knife down on the sofa and went to get a drink, forgot the knife was there when I sat down...
