Stripping Miniatures Guide
Posted on August 7th, 2003 No commentsStripping minatures is easy, most people see a miniature with a really poor paintjob with a really low price tag but pass it up because they either dont know how to strip miniatures or think that its too hard. This is so easy, even Highland Piper could do it.
Materials List
- Simple Green
- Toothbrush
- Newspaper/Paper Towel
- Container
- Your Miniature
Step One
This is Step One, all you do is take your Simple Green, pour about half
of the bottel into your container and put your miniature in, wait 5-10
minuites and take it out. You take your Toothbrush and scrub at it a bit,
after you have done that proceed to Step Two.
Step Two
This is what your model should roughly look like, it is easy
to scrub off the large flat areas of the miniature but it is also apparent
that the fine details are being obscured by the paint still in there.
Continue to Step Three.
Step Three
You still have a bunch of paint in the fine details of the miniature
that are almost impossible to get out with the toothbrush, all you have
to do is take a small tool such as a sewing needle and clear them out,
if you dont then you may end up with too many flat surfaces where detail
should be on your models. Hair is especially tricky but with time you
will find that it just takes some patients and effort.That is my article on how to strip a miniature, I hope
you found it at least remotely helpful and I would defenatly suggest you
try out this Simple Green, it is non toxic, biodegradable so you dont
have to worry if you pour it down your sink. I have no affiliation with
any of the companies portrayed in this demo nor do they have any affiliation
with myself or www.dungeoncrawlers.comJack In The Mox
P.S. This is my first article so this is basically my worst work lol.
