Well, it finally happened. I swear... the knife jumped up and bit me.



They wanted to put in 8 stitches, but there was only room for 5.

5 (8) stitches in a finger?!? Sounds more like an attempted amputation than a bite. Bad knife!!

it was a slice 1in long and 3/8in deep, laterally. If it had been across the tip it would have cut it clean off.

And I made a load more progress this weekend. I finished up the center section and both the bow and stern transitions. I did the first 7 pages of instructions and diagrams as well.

And I finished the grav node rings last night. This part was horribly tedious. Though I did cheat and used toothpicks and lilipop sticks for the individual nodes to make it go faster.

I finally finished building it. This is the HMS Fearless CL-56 from the Honorverse. It is in 1/450 and can easily be shunk down so it isn't so big. This is my first serious paper model that I've designed.

Gallery here: Album: hms fearless cl-56
Plans here: Model Plans

I'll drop it in the download section shortly.
