Spring Cleaning with Janus1004 - Ogres for Age of Magic
Cleaning metal figures - The easy task
I managed to clean the metal Ogres which was quite straightforward, just dip them in acetone and brush. As can be seen it completely removes all paint residues. The picture is a bit poor, but that is more due to the problem of photoing reflective metal figures.
Another trick to get rid of superglue and greenstuff I tested was to boil the figure in water, and the result was quite interesting. It completely killed of the superglue, so the different part just fell apart when I took it out of the water and let it cool. I assume the expansion/retraction of the metal breaks the bond to the glues. Anyway, it was what I wanted so not I could properly clean the main Warlord of the force. Only the mace with the big gob of greenstuff remains a problem of sorts.
nice, the real question is what was under the blob of green stuff?
I will continue my attack on the blog this evening, and I think I have found a successful approach! But I will not spoil it, its for todays update… 🙂
awwh I won’t see it for ages since I’ll be out watching the Avengers tonight.
