Dark Bjoern Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Last week i paint stripped my old Bjorn. I also removed the old banner with the intention to give him a new one. Here´re the first pics. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/BjorntheFellhandedWIP2.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/BjorntheFellhandedWIP1.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/BjorntheFellhandedWIP5.jpg I´m not pleased with the arms on the banner, but that´s only a minor problem. I will redo them tomorrow. I will also try to sculp the Symbol of Russ on the right torso. Let me know what you guys think.

Typical Cricket Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 It's looking good so far! I would advise taking a toothpick to him before you re-prime him though, to get rid of all the little bits of paint left in the crevices. That banner is looking awesome as well - keep up the good work, and you'll have one awesome mini on your hands! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187159-bjorn-the-fell-handed-wip/#findComment-2214453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The banner looks good, so does that techmarine, what bits did you use to make him?

Dark Bjoern Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 The banner looks good, so does that techmarine, what bits did you use to make him? Take a look here: Arjak Rockfist and other WIPs In post #13 you can see the different parts. I changed the torso with one off the new box. The one i had converted had not fitted together with the legs. @Typical Cricket: There´re no paint rests left on him. I used an Ultrasonic Cleaner for this work. The blue shine comes from the old paint that had diffused into the metal over the past 16 years.

nurglespuss Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The paint can't diffuse into the metal :devil: but, it looks pretty clean, only the one wolf tassle looks a little 'gold' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187159-bjorn-the-fell-handed-wip/#findComment-2214805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 The paint can't diffuse into the metal :huh: but, it looks pretty clean, only the one wolf tassle looks a little 'gold' Normally i would agree, but one look at the dread tells me that it could. I only remember that i used some industrial spray paint 16 years ago. I used NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and the US cleaner for paint stripping. I´ve got access to high concentrated NaOH at work. We normally use it for removing cinder and rust/corrosion from Jet Engine Components in preparation for nondestructive Testing. With NaOH no paint should remain on the model.

nurglespuss Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah sodium hydroxide is pretty good stuff. Best be though (for paint removal) is to use a gell stripper, typically used to strip aluminium car pannels etc. the stuff is particularly nasty, and will remove everything from enamel-gold leaf.
