s I write this, we are basking in yet

another beautiful spring day, with

‘CAVU’ flying conditions (Clear Air -

Visibility Unlimited), which is kind of

ironic as nearly all flights in the UK are grounded

and lockdown is still in force, meaning that no one

is going anywhere soon. So, now I think I may have

achieved a first in modelling induced injuries!

In our hobby we use many items routinely

that can cause harm with little or no training in

their use. Scalpel blades are a perfect example,

I am sure most of us have drawn blood during

the course of a modelling session. Simple nicks

and cuts to the hand are almost inevitable, and

one of my friends had a trip to the hospital to

have a wound in his leg stitched after his scalpel

blade rolled off the desk falling point first

straight into his thigh! But as he pointed out it

could have been worse as if it had fallen a few

inches to the left it would have had a far more

serious effect! Of course, airborne particles are a

particular hazard and in industry, and you would

be certainly be breaking a number of safety

rules if you sanded resin or tried to paint using

an airbrush without some form of facemask.

Now, I must put my hands up to say for many

years I rarely, if ever used a facemask during

airbrushing sessions. In fact, after a heavy

spraying session it was not unusual to find a fog

of paint particles in my modelling space, and it

was a running joke at club nights when we had

a kit sale, mine were easy to spot by the layer

of fine paint dust that most boxes that came

down from the loft covered in. That all changed

as I got older and became far more aware of the

risks from our hobby. Although I still do get the

occasional nick from a scalpel blade, I am much

more careful with these sharp objects nowadays,

and to prevent handles falling off the bench, I

wrap a couple of elastic bands around each one.

Also, when I created a new dedicated workspace

in the loft, I greatly increased the ventilation (as

well as natural light) by buying probably the

most expensive thing I have ever purchased for

my hobby, a number of large windows, which

were installed by a builder into the roof of my

workspace. I also added vents in the wall at

one end to help extract any overspray. Plus,

I am now a lot better bit better at wearing a

facemask during heavy airbrushing sessions!

So, what is the latest addition my modelling

injury catalogue I hear you ask? As I said, we

have had a rare spell of good weather in the UK,

so I decide to take a lap tray and sit in the garden

do some modelling. As we are all aware when

you are modelling, time flies, so what to you is

a short modelling session seems to take many

hours in the real world. So, I was happily applying

Eduard masks to the nose glazing on to two He

111 fuselages, and I hear you ask, ‘how can you

injure yourself doing that?’ Well, my injury was

a major amount of sunburn! Not something

that could happen that often in the UK!

So, until next time, please stay safe and well and

in the shade, while you read the latest issue of SAMI.
