The new/old Wen Mac SBD Slow but Deadly Dauntless

Wow, Bob, quite a transformation. What looked like a well battered and abused aircraft with questionable value has been transformed into a plane that looks fresh off the assembly line. Paint is a very good match for the plastic color, and is done well enough one could not tell it was painted.

That is one good looking model aircraft to behold, definitely looks museum quality.

OOH, OWCH..no pictures to show, but I Sliced open my left hand pointer finger while trying to separate two pieces of a TV Remote, Dropped the exacto, Just like the one pictured, landed sharp point down on the top of my foot!!  A TWOFER!  I get nerves around sharp objects and band saws. If it hadn't been for that little voice in my head "remember the Cub Scout rule to always cut away from your body" I would have planted that sharp edge just under my ribcage! Itsa good thing I know a little First Aid and how to make bandages!

The Hobbling Hobbiest.

I've cleaned and bandaged a bad deep cut rather than go to a doctor for stitches. Kept bandaid in place a couple days to a week, to hold the skin flaps together, replacing as needed. After about 4 days, the injury had already started knitting itself together. After about a week, no longer needed the bandaid. Skin would start to peel a little. After a couple weeks to a month, well on the way to healing. Wound up with a fine line where the cut used to be. Worked like a charm.

However, if it became infected or so bad that I could not fix, then seeing a doctor is in order. But so far never had to do with Exacto knife cuts.

And yes, knives do slip, some types of carving and cutting seems hard to do the so called "safe" way and get the job done correctly.


Please hold still while I rip this board.
