If the Lords are beyond salvation and the frater cannot offer any alternative advice on stripping technique (Forte behave) then I'll classify this as an accident and let you alter the vow downwards. But I'm not doing this lightly... You really have to see what other things you can do before you throw in the towel on them...

What have you been soaking them in?

whoops thought i put that in my reply.Im soaking them in Simple Green.

Try soaking in this stuff (after washing all of the Simple Green off). You can find it in the automotive aisle at your nearest Walmart. This stuff works great, and I've used it various resins and plastics with no issues. Leave overnight, and you can wash the paint off and lightly scrub with an old toothbrush to get the rest out of the nooks and crannies.

Super Clean and purple power (i think purple power may be cheaper) are the best I've found to strip models.

 

I started with Simple Green, but $$$ and mixed results had me to change to the above.

And yes yes, I know I still haven't got the drill yet to make holes in my guns, just bear with me until I fulfil my first competitive list.

My next WIP, another flamer. I'm slightly ashamed to say that except for the combat knife and head, all the rest of the parts are spares from the Reclusiasum squad. gotta use them for something, may as well be a double handed weapon where since its blocking the chest, its not so important to show the chest details.

Damn, only a month left before the end of the ETL. Better start doing things fast, got 8 more Grey Hunters to go and a Drop pod.

Valerian,WLK do you use any gloves when using Super Clean?

 

EDIT:messed up something

 

Yeah, I usually try to wear latex gloves.  None of those solvents are good for soaking your skin in.

@ Tommie Soule - the Imperial Knight is looking quite nice. Can't wait for you to Wolfify it. Colour scheme for the skeletal structure looks great so far. Hope you will use Fenrisian Grey for the main armour plates later. That and the red you are using will do very nicely IMHO.

Also, suggest you use the super melta gun, looks slightly more awesome than the battle cannon.

Great progress guys! :tu:

 

@ Tommie: Look forward to see your take on the Knight! As it happens Knights can be vowed for all factions so it's perfectly legit entry! 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Well, it took like a month longer than I wanted it to (stupid RL got in the waysad.png ). But; Vow complete.

Don't know why, but embedding the images won't work, so I've had to link them.
