Dettol etc

 Been soaking some semi flats in Dettol to remove the paint. Yesterday I scrubbed them ready for repainting. The majority are marching, standing and kneeling figures. Some are slightly different and I do not know their provenance. Anyone recognise them?

  1. I like the odd ones out, nicely animated. International Flat Figure Society for ID? Homecasting Facebook group?

  2. The sort of thing you need to do outside , that Dettol smell is very invasive .

    1. Tried it in the bathroom sink last week with windows open , still too much. The gloves are a must too.

    2. I use a sealed margarine tub for the soaking phase and keep it in the garden hut. Then clean up as much as possible before dunked under the kitchen tap.

    3. I seal mine in a screw top glass jar normally which lives in the shed out of harms way.

  3. They look ready to go, a very thorough paint stripping job indeed! Well done!

  4. Very nice figures - 19th-century style? You have the base of a good unit there.
