Those undead minis look strangely familiar.

Well done.

The Zombies are proving more difficult, can anyone recommend a good strip... model stri.. way of getting rid of a bad paint job (from locally abvailble materials, most online vids recommend American or UK stuff)

Simple Green, available from a home center such as Kahma. It's usually in with the industrial cleaning stuff. Get the liquid type and leave the minis to bathe in it for a couple of days. Then scrub them clean with a toothbrush. I'd recommend wearing gloves while doing it, Simple Green can irritate your skin.

Another good tip is to cut the toothbrush bristles down to about half so they're a bit stiffer.

Another option is one of the green nylon brushes. The stiffer bristles may help with stubborn paint. Simple Green is good but as Prim said, it can dry your skin quite badly I've found. Smells quite srong too.

Good progress on your painting, too, great going!

With finally two nights free a week I am getting back to my painting schedule, albeit slowly. I put paint to mini to warm up and get the juices flowing.

This is my gunslinger for Malifux that has waited over two years to be painted. She is not the official model but her gun will be a'slingin'!

Nice 'slinger, Kbear. Is that a reaper mini? It looks a bit Klock-ey. Nice fig, anyhoo.

@Hopeful Monster - As Prim says, Simple green is the way to do it. I find a couple of hours soak is enough though. Days might damage the plastic of the mini? Dunno - never tried it that long. Metal'd be fine, mind you. Also - I believe those are the first sigmarines anybody on this forum has ever posted. Congratulations!

As for me, no painting, lots of Total Warhammering, and feeling ticked off because the chaos horde has finally arrived and is clomping all over my territory, kicking Von Carstein's arse and assasinating all my agents. I may be stuffed, actually, which is a bit depressing after 30something hours of gameplay. On the plus side, at least I'm no longer at war with anybody who isn't a chaos worshipper...

Try this stuff.

You can get it in most supermarkets, and it you can leave minis in it for ages if you like.
I've used it on Reaper Bones, old lead miniatures, and 25 year old Beakie Space Marines. Never had a problem with any of them.

I think I got her from the Freebooter range.
