Actually, you could leave a bit of the paint on.
Only thing I really want to see is awesome conversions

Been silent a little while, been busy stripping...

I have a totally awesome update however.

On my metal sisters, it seems to literally dissolve the paint off the figures. :O I don't really notice any loss of detail, but they have been in there nearly a week.

I've added some chaos marines too.... expect some nurgly goodness sometime soon.

(Also I am sad, metal chaos terminator is smaller than the others :( I'mma have to up scale him...uhg...or just get rid of him.)

I got my Awesome last Saturday! My Mk I Rhino has been sitting in it since then. I will be taking it out hopefully tonight, and we'll see how it looks!

As for Metal Termies, just add a 1mm layer of styrene on the soles of the feet. If that doesn't work, cut the middle of the thigh with a hacksaw, pin the legs back together with paperclips, but leave more space then the saw cut out, and fill that space in with GS and sculpt it to look like it did before, just longer! See? Simple!

I took my Rhino parts out of the bath last night, and the paint just slid off!

Thank you for recommending the Awesome!

Hrm, can you get this hand melter totatly awesome in the uk?

I don't think so. Unless you have it shipped. But who knows?

THAT..is the Rhino I sent you??? Wow!

LOL, no but it's in the same shape. The one you sent is the one I am making the working doors on!

That one is gray plastic, and my two are this tan colored plastic. Not sure what the difference is.

The gray one was stripped in Simple Green, and has a lot of scratches now due to the paint not coming off. Simple Green, how I trusted you! Never again!

*ahem*....sorry to jack the thread, back to the regularly scheduled topic.

Jake its okay I enjoy seeing others totally awesome work.

Chimera is sliding off paint right now too, just a little more soak needed to complete the deed, same for sisters.

The only problems I had so far were: long soaks staining metal darker (due to 150+ models worth of black ink maybe? LOL), not an issue issue but yeah... and some primers just WONT let go no matter what...but it strips them to thinner than rice paper so that will be no issue.



Within this dark tub resides $900 worth of sisters too.

This seams like an AWSOME project, i look forward to see pictures off miniatures that are being painted.

If I remember rightly, the first rhinos where made in the tan plastic, I believe as time moved on they were re-boxed and made from the standard grey plastic colour.

Make sure you send in that PopSci card to save 30% off the cover price

Oh, and I think the tan plastic is what GW molded in before they went to grey, can anyone verify this?

I can... (feeling OLD!)

Yup.

I guess I'm feeling old too then, I picked those up off the shelf, brand new! Also the starter pack of Beaky Marines in the same tan plastic! I still have some heads and arms!

Ahhh, the value for money days.

Yeah, and the "Had to go to the store" days!

I don't miss the "Hope they have that particular model" days though. The old blister codes with umpteen different model types in them really hindered a collection.

But now we are in the "boxes of everything on the shelf except what I need" days

But more importantly....we're in the "I'll just look online for the exact bitz I need" days!

God help me. I picked up Eldar....

So, my sisters are almost done. I can only brush so many clean in the holidays!

I also found from my FLGS, that all the tourny players left. PRAISE THE RUINOUS POWERS! All fun-play people left! WOOOOOO

I am super remotivated, and expect updates this week with photos of the strips, the Eldar, and possibly more rough riders.

Oh and I'm designing my own game... 1:285 using GHQ models, likely.

I still live! Maybe... Surgery is tomorrow. Yeah it took me 6 months to sort this crap (for those who have seen my whining about it earlier...)

Week after I will be off work. If I feel up to it I will try to get my other 6 riders done - or continue paining/assembling my regular chaos guardsmen

With 6th Ed. I am going to be making 20 more riders, using plastic horses from chaos fantasy... can't afford 20 more FW riders... but that is a "down the line" thing for sure...

Nice group shot! Glad to see this back (I'd forgotten what the thread was until I clicked it).
Good luck in surgery, I'm sure you'll be chopping up little toy men in no time!

What do you do with the waste Chemical from 'Awesome'? do you chuck it in a river, plant it in your worst enemy's tea, chuck it down the loo. or leave it for tomorrows strip (Not the context most of you will probably have jumped to.)?

As long as it isn't considered "caustic" it should be completely safe to dispose through the public sewer system.

It is a soapy-material that is safe for mopping floors. I dump the waste water through a strainer into the toilet. Strainer picks up any particles that might help add to clog, and flush. It is a fairly safe material, its pretty much just concentrated soap I think.

Surgery done. God I am soooo high right now I'm partying with slaanesh. Sometime this week will continue with worj.

Woot! Enjoy! but Get mending soon!

Here we go! After so long without work... Two down, 3rd to go. So far only a few minor breaks...all fixable.

IT IS SO HARD TO DO THIS. I practically had to wait to be drugged up to do this because, when I was not this relaxed? I kept fretting over how I would break them...now I'm like "eh I can fix that! Who needs the tip of a horse ear?!"

Alright... I really really really am stumped. I also couldn't think of a better place to ask this.

As I mentioned a while back I picked up some sisters of battle...and well, with the new allies rule, I also brought out something else I can use... my Tanith.

List of what I got.


I can not, for the life of me, figure out a way to organize this into an ally for my Sisters of battle and still keep the Tanith feel. I don't want to model on these guys until I know what I'm doing with them. I need to strip 3 of them as you can see.



CHQ: don't know..
--Priest stand in with Dorden? Just to keep him with the tanith...
Vet Squad: Gaunt, Mkoll, Milo, Plasma, Nade Catachan, regular tanith soldiers.
Ratlings: 5 Snipers including Larkin

Or...

CHQ: Gaunt, Dorden Medic, Milo standard bearer, Plasma, Nade launcher.
Vet: Mkoll, regular tanith, 3 snipers including Larkin...

Eitherway I'm going to have to model some extra tanith to fill the ranks...
