Funniest armour mistakes...

What is the most hilarious mistake or accident you've had while working on your armour?

Mine happened today, I was welding Demagol's grieves for his custom and had my leg to close to the head of the welder...I caught my leg and boot on fire :)wacko) and dashed around yelling until I made it to the pool, where I plunged my leg in and escaped nigh unscathed...:D
 
Funny....terrifiying...same thing. :lol:

Putting the range finder stalk on backwards, then putting the rangefinder upside down on top of that. I also, put the Decipher Kast shoulder symbol upside down. :lol:
 
Most of my mistakes haven't been very funny, at least not to me, but my reactions to them would probably be pretty funny to an outsider watching me curse and throw things and scream at the air.
 
While this may not be as funny as some of the more exciting mishaps, I don't think I was supposed to cut off the lower heel part off of this clone armor...

*goes to find the pic. of the one TK that glued the top part of the bucket on backwards...Giving him this "suprised expression".* :lol:
 
I was using e-poxy to put the little screen on the back of my Jango OS Helmet, and while I was holding it waiting for it to set, it crept down and attached to my finger.

Naturally I was watching TV and not paying attention to anything except how long I needed to hold it before it set up. I was very disappointed in myself when I went to let go of the screen only to find myself attached to the inside of my helmet.

Long story short, there will always be a little bit of me inside my helmet. :lol:
 
hmmm, not really funny, but luckily I had some super strength Loctite Super Glue Gel...

I was attaching the snaps of my Jango chest armor to my vest so I put some rub-n-buff on the snaps glued to the armor to mark the vest... then I pushed down to mark where they needed to be, needless to say the armor was curved pretty good and when I pushed, snap went the armor... it was like 4AM the night before a troop so I was saying some choice words before I thought, hmmm, lets just glue it back.
 
Although it's not armor........I was watching LOST and trying to sew up my new tusken raider robes, I accidently sewn the sleeves shut. At least I didn't sew a finger. :D
 
Spilling my last bottle of "Special Mix" Zam leather dye for my Zam skirt all over the garage floor. Yes... I still have a purple garage floor. :D
 
CA gluing my fingers together with accelerator. The worst one was having a screw go threw my foot, and getting rush to ER. thats the last time i left tools lying around.
 
I placed my Jango armor on some cardboard and spray can primered them. It was in my basement and I didn't want to fume myself out so I opened a window. The wind swirled up dust bunnies, dirt and debris which promptly stuck to all the wet primer.

I didn't notice right away and when I came back I had rough, dirty, armor. Had to re sand and re primer them. I was not happy to say the least and the string of 4 letter words I put together served as proof of that. Afterwards I laughed at myself at how mad I got. Lessons learned.

:cheers
 
It would be either:
1.) Super gluing my fingers together.
2.) Tacking Sintra together with superglue, then "welding" (it looks like it when you do it right) the pieces together with hot glue over it. Problem is, the heat vaporizes the super glue, and sends caustic fumes right up into your eyes.
3.) (Not entirely armor related) Getting hit in the lip with a molten bead of solder. Not pleasant at all, as you can probably imagine.
 
Using plaster of paris to fill in/support my scratchbuild helmet...

It took 3 weeks for the cardboard bits to dry and it is not going anywhere without a forklift! :)
