If you look at my gallery you can tell I wasn't the best painter. Well neither was I the best sculpter and now I would like to take out my greenstuff from my "nurglified" land raider? Any ideas?

Green stuff adheres to plastic somewhat poorly without additional glue, so you should be able to work it off using some kind of tool (a toothpick is idea, since it's hard enough to do the job, but soft enough not to scratch the plastic)

**Misguidance**

I have found that if the green stuff is refusing to come off, freezing the model helps. It works best on metal but I have done it with plastic too and it works- the parts shrink, which weakens the bond between the green stuff and whatever it is stuck too. It is then much easier to pry off.

Think I've mentioned this in another thread, but dipping the model in Simple Green works well for removing green stuff (and keeps the GS in shape, so you can always re-apply it if you feel the need to). Note that this will also strip off the paintscheme.

Well, since im too poor to buy another LR, I'll try all of them! Thanks to all three of you!
