What solvent did you use? ;) Acetone free nail polish remover is what I was recommended by Forgeworld and GW Mail Order. I went out in the mornign and came back at night to that mess.

Dezartfox Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Acetone free shouldnt have done that.. However if you did leave it ALL day then yeah it will melt eventually The trick with Acetone free NP remover is to dip it in, leave it a couple of minutes, give it a swirl and then brush off the paint with a toothbrush.

SamaNagol Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Unfortunately there aren't really any step by step guides to stripping paint online when it comes to plastic and resin models. Oh well. Had to order a new one today.

I went out in the mornign and came back at night to that mess. Woah... :P I guess you now have a great piece of terrain to play with.... As an aside, and not to blame anyone, but a little instruction with the recommended solvent would have gone a long way and cost what, maybe two breaths and 5 seconds? Ouch. ;francois Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177139-throne-of-skulls-heat-3-blog-pure-gk-now-with-added-ist/page/4/#findComment-2179802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversmith82 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 For stripping models use simple green and simple green ONLY. You can leave a mini in there for a week and no melting. With a toothbrush (plastic or metal) or soft wire brush (metal only) your paint will come right off. At least you have a pretty cool terrain piece now... You could say it got hit by several melta shots at close range. Or make it part of a diorama where an Ork mek tried to salvage it and the machine spirit decided to self destruct...

SamaNagol Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I am absolutely gutted. I now have to work this weekend and cannot attend. I feel like all this thought and effort has been a waste. But then I looked at it again and I am glad that I have had a chance to really look at the army and try and understand how it works in far greater detail. I intend to continue and finish, and I guess I can even take a bit more time with it as well.

Try Warseer?
