Spagunk Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 The loose bricks themselves are actually from a miniature scenery company that I don't remember. They were sold at my FLGS from some form of scenery/model company in a baggy but I can't remember who made them. The brick patter on the bases though were from one of those generic Christmas scenery brands you see at your knitting/crafting store. The kind where they have the flocked pine trees and little holiday dioramas. Comes in a roll that's about 6" b 12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 So you may or may not have noticed that two of the guys didn't get any decals for their blank shoulder pads. Well, this was because I was out of microsol so I couldn't get them on in time for the picture. However, I found out through the tubes that microsol is actually just acetone diluted with rubbing alcohol. So curious, I decided to give it a try. Sure enough, it worked fantastically. I ended up doing 3 parts rubbing alcohol to 1 acetone to start and it was amazingly fast and worked well. The key is to use it sparingly because acetone is very ravenous and can ruin your paint quickly: be vary careful. I am inclined to say that 4:1 ratio is probably safer for the model. I'll take pics of the results later but just thought I would mention it to anyone who is curious on how to make their own solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 It's also fabulous for stripping nail varnish. How I know that? Well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
