Revisiting my hobby starting place
Preparation
As always the first stage is always preparation to remove some of the mould lines and flash. These models were not too bad there was s bit of flash on the Unicorn and some minor mould lines on the Elf figures.
Using a combination of a knife and standard nail file. I removed the flash and the mould lines. One thing to note, these models are lead based, I had forgotten what a joy they are to work with compared the modern white metal. It is so much easier to remove flash and mould lines. Let’s go back to using lead and stuff health and safety.
Cleaning
The final stage of the preparation phase is an overnight soaking in some household limescale remover, this is very much an experiment so I shall see in the morning if it works.
