Other than the scars on my left arm where I glued myself to the cat, nope, nothing else is noticable after 28 years of modeling.

Maybe ask my wife?

I think modelers, like artists and other professionals, pay some respect to the tools and chemicals we use. Too bad there are dimwits that are using our supplies and tools to get high or to hurt people. Really is making it hard for our kids to try to enjoy the hobby like we have. To me, that is a long term damaging effect.

I work in a body shop painting cars, I don't think what I do on a model can be any worse.
Trevor Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

I know that everyone will injure themselves by cutting and burning themsleves at one point or another, but I was wondering if anyone here is suffering from longterm damage from doing models for years. We all know that the paint bottle says it has some nasty stuff in it, but has anyone seriously damaged themselves from doing this for years? Black Eye [B)]Just wanted to see how dangerous this hobby really is.
