A good friend of mine burned his face (had no eyelashes or eyebrows for awhile after this little stunt) and had to go to the ER to get his eyes flushed out from emptying model rocket engines into a bowl, then lighting it with his face obviously too close. I think he was about 10 or so when that happened.

I was 12 when I ignited a bowl of powder removed from old, damp fireworks. It was difficult to get the pasty crap to ignite, but when it finally did I lost all the skin from my right thumb and two fingers. A ball of gauze for a hand kinda ruined the rest of the summer for me.

But I learned to be much more careful with explosives.

The body is standard mid-war 2 tone camo over Acrylic dark yellow base - post shaded in umber. The tracks are based shaded in raw umber and orange for rust and washed with various umbers and blacks (oils) that I throw together. Finished off with silver to high-lite the raised surfaces. Then gone over again with Artists chalks or Tamiya weathering chalks. Whew - I waste a lot of time on these.
