So I decided to get back into models, bought a Tamiya 1/24th scale R34 GTR....Im cutting the sprue piece off the hood with my new X-acto...Im sawing through, I say "Hmm, I should move my finger..." Just then, the X-acto cuts through and into my pointer finger.....OW!!!

Looks great mate, though maybe you should think about hitting the interior with some matte clear to get the shine down a bit, unless you're going for the vinyl seat look.
