Reminds me of the number of my stick and tissue (balsawood) models with permanent stains in the wood . . .

Cor, Nap, that ain't half a good blood colour-mix you've got there. Any chance, in between throbs, you could post up what colours you used? I particularly like the glistening effect on the droplets.

Sealed it with superglue as well...

Alan,

The mix ....thats easy a liberal base of smartyoants together with metallic edging and lack of coffee...works EVERYTIME .....for larger effects add chainsaw

To be honest, you did look like that even before the cut.
I hope for a swift recovery and that you sexlife wont be affected much.

I remember many moons ago when I slipped with my scalpel. First thought was, thank god I didnt cut myself but where does all that red paint come from?
My father in law drove me to the hospital where they put three stitches in my finger. The doctor was soo amazed how clean the the cut was. I recon it was, fresh scalpel blade and a sweeping motion. A Samurai could not have done it better.

[ellie]

Oh dear I did say to Carole that you should have the rounded tip ones till you were all grown up Kevin dear.

At least for the next couple of days you could sign HMRC returns properly.

I do this silly trick at least once a week I think.
BUT....I don't stop and do a bleedin selfie !

[Metal Extremo]

Yeah Nap, i think this blood needs more contrast and maybe a bit of gloss varnish. But maybe the photos, that are very bad And the wood needs more orange brown int he mix

 

[John Bowery]

Nap,
At least the model is authentic with a finger print as proof. I would never have thought of that authentication
Cheers
