Heya guys! I've been busy over the past week getting these guys together and taking photos of my progress. I did this to share what the process is for me while I paint models. In my previous post you would have seen my tutorial for stripping a tank, well I followed the same process for these guys. I bought eight Chaos Space Marines for $15 US on Ebay and managed to strip them so they looked damn near brand new. First off, here's the before photo: As you can see, the paint's pretty caked on, but that's no issue if you're patient.

Undercoat: This was accomplished by simply grabbing an acrylic based black and brushing over the models lightly, it usually only takes me one application to completely cover  a single model. Also for undercoating, whether it's black or white, I tend to use normal acrylic based paints as ...

Of course this can be used for most any other wargaming miniature as well, I've only ever collected 40k so that's what I'll be using in this tutorial. Before I begin let me clarify that this is not scientifically backed up, it is simply what I have experienced over years of collecting/stripping Games Workshop models. For those of you searching for a material to strip painted models without melting the model itself I use acetone based nail polish remover, I've tried acetone free but found it's results far less satisfying and quite a bit more damaging to the models as they need more time to soak before they can be stripped. First of all you'll need to find an an old plastic cup (or container depending on the type on mini being stripped). Only fill enough of the cup to cover a single mini.This is because in the past, to my saddening detriment, that soak...
