Hello,

Im at the office atm, so I can't submerge my model in water as that would be my first try.

But does anyone have any idea how to remove typhus corrosion? I went overboard and ruined a model with it...

Is it some kind of paint/base layer? If so, simply strip the model back down.

You may have to strip the whole thing. BUT you could get lucky with a Q tip and some iso alcohol. but you need to be super careful it will strip everything if you use too much.

or otherwise if its try try a toothbrush and rub it off.

This is surprisingly hard stuff to move, it isn't like a normal wash, it has chunks in it and quite a bit of grit. I don't think you'll be removing it - either use it as super weathering, or strip the area bare.

Typhus Corrosion is not a wash. It is a Citadel Technical Paint and it has that hard grainy effect, almost like there is sand in it.

This is one of the best stuff I use for weathering and if you want to remove it I suggest paint strip the whole model with iso, rather than trying to remove a particular section.

Or you can try sand the area with sandpaper, but I am not sure how it will work.

It'll come off with isopropyl. Technically, it's on top of primer and potentially paint, so whatever removes the primer and paint will do.

You can't remove dried Typhus Corrosion without removing the layers of paint underneath it, though I suppose you could sand it down -- much more effort than just stripping the section or the whole piece.
