I'm afraid not. As for the question, How many times have you been to the hospital for model-related injuries, and how much have you had to spend for them? Thanks for your time.

Answer: Pinwash is washing certain part of the model with a small brush. Pinwash is best used (IMO) on car doors and aircraft panel lines.

Question:

Do you paint eyes on your figures?

No, since all of my figures so far have been in 1/72 scale.

Do you build an entire model first and then paint, or build and paint in smaller assemblies?

Yep, and another coming up this Friday to finish my Cromwell hopefully...

Q. Have you ever been stuck buying the same model from various manufacturers as your horizons haven't broadened yet? :-)
