The title says it all. But before you fling rotten tomatoes at me, this is not meant to be anything sleazy, it's a hobby blog.
Curiosity got the better of me and I bought some used minis from an online buy and sell FB forum. Decided to get some used marines and tau.
Thankfully or not so thankfully, the marines were the push fit kind so disassembly and reassembly wouldn't be overly difficult.
Simple Green
This wonder cleaner also removes paints. I filled up my painting glass with enough simple green to cover the minis and left them soaking overnight. I took a scrubbing brush and brushed off the contents.
Acrylic paints were easy to rub off. My only bugbear? Enamel paints. Took like forever to get the enamel off 3 of my used marines. But simple green soaked into the paint enough for me to scrub it off with a wire brush.
I primed with Citadel Caledor Sky, the new name for enchanted blue. I primed with Vallejo grey primer and then a layer of Caledor Sky, the new name for Citadel's Enchanted Blue paint.
Tau are up
Next to get their baths are the Tau. Little grey men are going to commander Top Down while my marines are quite successful. Maybe I'll consider used marines in future.
