Grimtooth Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Sorry to dissapoint those clicking here looking for scantily dressed large mammals, I am talking about the transport. I have stripped plenty of models using a simple Pine-Sol type cleaner by letting them soak and taking a stiff toothbrush to them. However, considering tha amount of parts on a Rhino as well as being thin wall plastic for the hulls, do any of you do things different when looking to strip Rhinos?

Grimtooth Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 I got a bucket for the job. Any time frame on Simple Green as far as soaking or just get right to it with a brush? I have never used Simple Green and have only ever gone the Pine-Sol route.

Runepriest2007 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I let the figs sit in Simple Green for at least 24 hours, then start scrubbing with a toothbrush. So far no problems.

darth_giles Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Depends on the primer. I've had some that wouldn't come off for nothing, and some that lift if you look at them crosseyed. The older GW black primer seems to be the worst for not lifting. Testors enamels lift real easy in simple green but don't try using pine-sol or pine-o-pine; you'll get a nasty gooey mess. Haven't tried stripping GW white at all, mostly because I rarely use it.

ChaosPhoenix Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 PVC cleaner. Works great and doesn't damage the miniature. Simple Green works too. And something we call Sterillium, its a disinfectant, but most of them should work. Just use the thing which is cheapest at your place.

chromedog Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've just used the same dot3 brake and transmission fluid for mine (got it 2nd hand with a crap "thousand sons" scheme). 10 minute soak and a scrub with a toothbrush. Rinse with cool soapy water then clean water and it was all good. [insert obligatory "PPE** is mandatory. This may not be viable for everyone. These fluids can't be just dumped down the sink or drain, but require specific disposal methods. I have three mechanics in my street I can dispose of the expired fluid with.' disclaimer.] **PPE: Personal Protective Equipment. Gloves, goggles/face screen, long sleeves, Respirator. This crap is bad for your joints with continued exposure (it's why old mechanics have crap joints).

ChaosPhoenix Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 And some break fluids are bad for your minis, so I use other stuff most of the time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238288-stripping-rhinos/#findComment-2875169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
