Have a read if you have a spare second and any suggestions that you have that can be better than the technique I used would be awesome!

Billingshurst told me that brake fluid is better, I've not tried it though. Also stripping paint OFF (note the spelling? ) the mini is a b!tch as there's something in GW paints that is just pure evil. It becomes a thick slime which needs a good scrub with an old toothbrush and running hot water.

I told him that :p

Use a new toothbrush if the wife pisses you off

I have stirpped minis with Dettol and found it took several goes. left them for a few hours scrubbed them and put them back in. Repeat as needed.

this can damage plastic brake fluid is safe on plastic and metal dont use it for resin thou it turns to rubber

LoL I may have to try Brake fluid next time, though I think Detoll smells nicer

Well I got to get some bits and bobs for the Gang now, weapons, heads etc...

Any one though a good site for getting mini heads?

Payed through paypal so it's all cool though, MaxMini also stocks Kromlech stuff which is made of Polish awesome (samurai space marines anyone?).

What sort of heads are you after Charlie (sorry Ben but it just isn't working out)?

Any sort of heads really, no helmets, beards, got 2 at the moment, but will check those sites out

Ah so your a fez and stetson man.

I think my vote goes to the Confederate orks.
