Ok, so I got a Leviathan for free from a friend. Guns and all, it was primed badly and my go to didnt work. Then i tried my old "Gotta go HARD" method and used 91% Rubbing Alchohol, and left it there, not thinking......
So i come back tonight(After like, 2 days of it in there) to find it very squishy......nothing melted and detail is there...but its all, bendy.
Is there ANYTHING i can do to Salvage it? i set it outside to dry, but im afraid it might be done.
God im an idiot.

You could try leaving it in the sun for a couple of days (UV does sometimes help reharden the resin). It's autumn in the US currently, so it shouldn't get too warm.

I wouldn't recommend it in an Aussie northern summer, though - the heat alone will cause it to soften and droop.

Yes. I had exactly the same problem with a much smaller highly detailed resin model, turned flimsy after strippng the paint and couldn't get an answer anywhere on how to salvage it.

The answer I discovered was time, over time the resin hardens and returns to normal. How much time? From memory it was several weeks before it improved noticeably.

Tried a few things also, soaking it in dishwashing liquid and letting it dry for maybe a week on my balcony (tropical heat) may have sped up the process.

After months it's pretty much nornal. The good news is your model is much bigger and will likely take less time to harden.

Just be careful when handling it as it will break easily while it's soft.
