So here's my (almost, finally) finished dreadnought for the Blood Angels, I've added some prayers or whatever in white to the panels, and a tiny bit more weathering.
So as I mentioned before, been attempting stripping paint off some old space marines with THICK enamel paint on them, in several layers, I'm pleased to say after 24hrs soaking in Green Dettol (smells like apples), they came out like this:
Not too bad at all! Just need to get a cocktail stick to get the tiny bits out of the crevices, but I could re-spray them now and never know.
After a recommendation I also tried Fairy Power Spray on some plastic space marines painted with such a thick layer of blood red that almost no detail was visible (what was I thinking?!). After about 3 hours after a light spray all over the models, the paint was literally falling off, and a little scrub from a toothbrush almost instantly stripped them down to the undercoat.
FAIRY POWER SPRAY RULES
I'm visiting home this weekend and plan on raiding the rest of my awful detail obscuringly thick painted marines, i'm pretty sure there's an attack bike and a land speeder I could salvage, and some metal scouts. Brilliant. I'll post some before and after shots too when i get back and get to them.
Keep on strippin'
I used to have that same standard bearer... I must have lost him when I moved. What a pity.
ReplyDeleteHe's a lovely model, however a pain to attach a backpack too I've found. Nice BA symbol though
