Sorting etc
I have moved some projects forward today in spite of being outdoors much of the day enjoying the warm weather while it lasts.
Good progress. Regarding paint stripping, dettol or cellulose thinners (Halfords). The latter is not any good for anything plastic including trays, gloves etc but it does remove paint!
Another paint remover trick is to use Isopropyl 95 or 99% alcohol IPA. You can remove paint in minutes from plastic and resin figures using this, though I think plastic does go a bit soft if left overnight in the isopropyl.
You can pick it up cheap from ebay, or give me a shout and I can give you a litre or half a litre in a washing up liquid bottle.
That last picture has given me an idea on how to store my Vallejo paints so I can use them more efficiently. Thanks!
