The Cleaning.

I had some time, and the weather felt good so I took my Romans to coat them in GW Purity Seal (satin varnish) and behold what happened:

The whole army got it's purity sealed and have been covered with grayish mist thing. I know it's my fault. I shouldn't have left them outside for this long ( 5h).

I knew that I'd have to clean them, and that it wont be easy. I've read the TMP discussion and with my fingers crossed tried several options.

The first contender was:


Cheap nail polish remover, and the result wasn't satisfying :


The second contender came from hobby supply shop :


Acrylic paint thinner, it costed twice as much as nail polish remover but the result was good, there was some rubbing required and the figures ended being covered in cottonwool:



The last item used was Revell Brush cleaner, costing three times more than acrylic paint thinner:


And the result, was great. Everything was removed. Even the paint.


So what is the best option ? Here it is:


By replaceing cottonwoll with foam that comes in 28mm figure blisters I came with a solution that works realy fast, leaves the paintwork and does not leave cottonwool sticking to pointy elements.


That's all. Hope someone finds it useful one day.

II/33. Polybian Roman. 275BC-105BC.

Here is a picture of polybian roman warmodelling DBA army, that I completed. All the bases still need varnishing but other than that they are ready. The picture quality is lacking but when i finally do the varnishing i'll make better photos.

Polybian Roman General

This is a teaser picture of general for my Polybian roman army. The figure is by a Spanish company called Warmodelling. I know that he should be paired by two other riders but i prefer to do him this way and i'm sure no one will have any objections.
