I don't get it. I tried to use pure concentrated IPA and it just doesn't work for me. I heard there is an all purpos cleaning paint stripper called Durostrip that works wonders.
Dang I hate to hear that for you. But yes I have heard that works well as well! Keep in mind to use what works best for you and what is most readily available.
That's how art is done. Not waiting for the right time or waiting for the right time. Art is done by doing. Yes, people need to stop having the fear of what others think because in the end, awesome art is made by those who do not care and by doing art to begin with.

@te9591 great reccomendation. Sounds like you've been in the hobby a lot longer than me lol I love pewter models though!! I have one video on an old azrael and it was a true joy to paint.
A modern cell phone has more features, records at a higher resolution, and can run better editing software than anything they had available for Lord of the Rings. That's crazy to me.
isn't that wild? Insane the amount of stuff you can do. I just play around with certain apps that have worked well ya know. We are truly lucky to live in this time period!
Haha! xD The audio definitely sucks for this video. It was recorded in my car. I am working on having a better mobile setup to have better recording quality when out and about! Most of my editing is done away from home
Are there separate considerations for resin? For example I have a GW plastic model with 3D printed resin bits. Will this still work or will I damage my boy?
No it should be fine for resin as well. I have used this method on forge world models and its turned out great with no damage to the resin what so ever. I wouldn't leave it in there an excessive amount of time but for an hour long dip or so you should have no problem.
He's totally right. I know a guy that wins model building contests and he mostly uses cheap acrylic paints from the crafts store. The cheap stuff lets him experiment without stress of wasting expensive supplies- and he can always Easy Off any paint job that turned out bad.
Hey Zack, no it does not threaten the integrity of the plastic model itself. It only takes he paint off but I haven't experimented with it for anything over 1 day. Generally Isopropyl doesn't degrade metals or plastic.
That's interesting man I haven't tried that yet! I love GSW they have great products and the shipping actually doesn't take as long as id expect. Ill be trying some of this in the near future.
@@DeckDivMiniatures strips paint like a dream, couple of minutes in that thing and miniature is almost like new it's also really helpful with big models
Yes I always Prime My minis. I recommend using primers specifically made for miniature/scale modeling. If you cant get your hands on any of that you may want to soak your models longer.
@@DeckDivMiniatures be careful, some cleaner have a heating feature. And even without using it, it can heat up the alcohol and make vapour. To be used in room with air flow.
@@lorrnoke99you can put the IPA inside of a plastic container with a lid, and then put that container into the ultrasonic cleaner. You'll get the same cleansing effect due to how ultrasonics work but you won't risk fumes being potentially ignited.
@haroldh3 yes it can if it is an acrylic varnish made specifically for miniature painting/scale modeling. Anything else used for other purposes I can't speak for but for general varnish it will absolutley work!
Great video! Do you rinse the model between dips in the alcohol? I've only ever used Simple Green and L.A.'s Totally Awesome. You're right those take a lot longer. I might have to try alcohol next time.
Thanks man:) and yes the initial 30 min soak gets it to optimal scrubbing condition. After that you can just dunk it while your scrubbing it. Iso is the way to go!!👍✌️
Alright..... I'll do it...its actually funny.. This isnt the first time I've had someone say they would rather me talk...so I think I may just have to change something up ;)
