Drinking paintwater is old news....frustrating but really not that big of a deal. See how many others have had this happen - Last nite I\'m working on a sculpture (to be disclosed soon, I hope). Putting on a final, very small, very detailed part. Worked on that little part for over an hour and finally had it looking sweet!! Hooray!! I had a little extra clay so I looked to see if there were any little flaws elsewhere on the thing that I could use it up on and found one. Turned the sculpture, worked on that part, got it done, turned the piece back around and saw that I had gripped it such that I had smashed that beautiful little gem of a part I had just spent an hour perfecting.:cussing:

Anyone else??

Latex gloves.

 

[mattrock]

It is exactly for reasons like these that I leave the sculpting to more capable hands. lol

[Onis Lair]

I\'m with ya Mattrock. I\'ll leave the sculpting to those with talent and the ability not to kill people when they screw something up. lol

 

[Aliengod3]

I do that all the time. Do not worry my friend, you are not alone

Yeah definitely. Chainmail and other armour that goes around legs/arms are a personal favourite in that aspect.

That\'s what really frosted me. I\'ve done it SO MANY TIMES that when I saw what had happened I was frustrated that it had happened and I was frustrated that I should have known better and did it anyway.

Happens to me all the time!

I am a profesional at destroying things I have just finished getting sculpted. so now I do a small piece and let it cure before I continue. So I have to work on multiple pieces at one so I can keep going.

I also sculped a shoulder pad for my sanguinius model, it took hours. I did not let it cure overnight before I tried make a copy (i let it cure for 2 hours) it was not enough and i had no shoulder pad and no copy when I was done. I almost cried..

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one. I don\'t know how these guys can sit down and sculpt an entire mini and not destroy something as you go.

Been there, done that. *sigh*

They do it in stages and layers. The smug, patient gits!

Taking all bets on if there\'ll be a fingerprint on it once it cures!

You should use holy water as lubricant for your tools or something, clearly you\'ve been cursed somewhere along the way

 

[Kester]

This is reassuring. I thought that it was just me.

Lucky there\'s not a baseball bat print on it............ooooh man that pisses me off when I do it for the 54th time.
When I debut the piece I\'ll try to remember to mention it.
