Good call! I bet that's it, too!
Major bummer about the varnish spray. I'm glad you're not letting something small like that stop you, though!
I've got 4 cans of Testors Dullcote (which everyone seems to say it totally awesome) but I'm still afraid to use it after seeing these horror stories about the spray varnishes. You might want to give that one a try instead of the others... I've heard Really bad things about the GW one, not sure about the other you used. Also maybe it was too humid? I know those things have an effect, too.

+1. The old model is staring at me right now, begging for some paint 
I'll be looking forward to how this evolves, since new army syndrome has affected me and I'll be assembling stuff to make a grot army; I figure an ork army without boyz should still be pretty playable, and everything else (vehicles, dreads, meganobz,...) can be grotted up.

When you do get the nerve to use it, let me know how it works for you. I have a can I am scared to use as well.
As for this army, I am madly in love with it. This is a running gag at my shop, actually. No one will make it, of course, but you have proven it can be done and I will be telling everyone of your exploits in the near future! Keep up the awesome work!

yeah,
Well done guys, you spotted the ratling! have a cookie. 
I have 9 more old style ratlings, I'm thinking of making a small squad of 10 grotlings...
Could make a characterful squad that's only purpose is to objective sit?
at the moment I'm having fun making some funky buggies out of ork bikes...
I've traced around a standard buggy on some white paper, and as long as I build inside the lines it shouldn't cause any modelling for advantage size problems.
this is the Meks WorkShop...
At the back you might notice the original3 buggies have been stripped down and had the grots removed... they will be rebuilt along with the next 6 buggies and all 9 buggies will be painted together. I have another thread where I set about Stripping the buggies if your interested.
WIP - Although at the moment it's looking a bit wacky races!
I like the FW sponson and KillaKan rocket combo...
---
Something completely different>> I found this case in the street... Pretty cool huh?
I gutted the lining and I'm using it to take the killa kans to Work to build...
I have two 12hr 'On Call' shifts this weekend. So I think I'll get alot done. maybe all 6kans and the dread.
Panic...

Brilliant stuff! For sealing powders I use heavily diluted PVA with a little bit of washing up liquid which I apply using a syringe spreading it all over the model being sure to get good coverage' it avoids all the problems with spray primers! Could the Grotlings be used as a unit of Flash Gits or Lootas?

9hrs of Drilling, Fileing, GreenStuffing and Pinning and all I managed was the Legs and Torsos!
These Kits look awesome, But they just don't want to fit together!
The bodies parts are all warped, and the legs are limited to a single pose so you have to dremel away at it to get more stompy poses.

yeah, Sorry about the Lack of updates, but Progress has been slow... I've updated the tracker in my first post, If you have a look you can see that I'm getting some stuff done. After the messy varnish issue The original 3 buggies had to be stripped down, they've been modified a little and I've built 6 more buggies. Today I finnished adding drivers and gunners so I base coated them so that I could show you guys something! Out of the 9 buggies, 4 are based on the official ork buggy model, the other 5 are scratch builds using new ork wheels, Big gun chassys, ork bikes. they are all 4 wheeled and more or less the same size as the official model, so I don't expect any questions about what they represent. I decided to alter some of the rocket launchers so that they are being hand held for variety, but now I'm kinda regretting that because they don't look twin linked... I'll add more crew later after they are painted, I think the buggies look cooler when they have more grots going for a spin. The original three buggies. stripped and primed :(  3 new guys!   3 new guys!  Buggy Rush!  In other GrotNews! I've recieved 15 monowheels in the post = monowheel grot burnas! (after the main 1500pts is built!) I've also bought 12 Snotz (from GorkaMorka) these Little'Uns will be given pistols to make another cool small squad for objective holding. I'll update again soon! promise! PAnic...

Yeah,
I used Fairy Power Spray.
It removed three layers of varnish and most of the paint. the colour that remained was kinda a stain but all the detail was there.
I've also heard good things about Original Dettol and that's cheaper by volume.
So it depends on how big the model your stripping is and how much paint/varnish is on it.
Panic.
