How to create a festering wound?

Aha, I have experience of this!!!
Yes, definitely! The trick is to cut towards yourself with a blunt scalpel, whilst watching TV at the same time. If you drink a few lagers beforehand the effect will be enhanced.
I have achieved some quite spectacular results using this technique:bouncy:

No, really...
Back OT. My straight answer differs only slightly from my previous \'tongue in cheek\' response.
Best way to create a wound in miniature is to simulate what would happen in real life. ie a scalpel cut in a plastic model can look lifelike if painted appropriately. Metal models simply require a tougher knife such as a \'Stanley\'. Alternatively, ragged-edged wounds can be simulated with a Dremel power tool and appropriate cutting disc.
Do take care though \'cos I have had the pleasure of spending a New Year\'s Eve in casualty with my thumb hanging half-off simply because I followed the instructions contained in my first post.:flip:

To add on...
finn is right. I normally cut the mini (although finn the sadist luuuvv cutting himself lol ). But to create the festering effect, i putty it (Tamiya putty). Then painting in the effect.
I had one gobbo that has had a festering wound on its left cheek. I applied the putty onto the face and before it dries, using a needle, poke holes onto it. Then I painted it with pallid flesh and red gore with a tinge of green (can\'t remember what green). Basically, there\'s pus and its ooooozzing out...

Me not hungry anymore
Well I was going to go eat, but noe that read this post I think I\'m not hungry anymore. Thanks to you mouse, stupid rotten.
The glue is a good idea on platique models after you made a cut with a knif it makes look like its decaying. How about having a flie in the wound, never saw that befor. Would be great for a nurgle champion.

i tend to either cut the model or if i want it to look swollen and old, add some putty and cut into that. and paint with rotten flesh
