I applied 3M Paint Stripper (Industrial Strength) which is a gelatenous car paint product. It required use with chemical rubber gloves, takes 30 minutes max and some use of an old toothbrush. I have to say that after cleaning up 17 figures I could feel the cold heat in the back of my left hand. It's about as many as you could probably strip at one time. I needed this sort of product as I paint in enamels.Unlucky Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483184112954794715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602923242818158481.post-24627515959076437412011-03-06T01:11:25.026-08:002011-03-06T01:11:25.026-08:00Another interesting regiment is the dutch based Br...Another interesting regiment is the dutch based Brandenburg marine regiment of course. German 'von' is in dutch 'van' but german 'von' usually denotes nobility, but not in dutch. So in dutch the regiment was probably named 'Kroonprins van Pruisen", but there were no absolote spelling rules at that time, and german, french and english spelling were used in one and the same text. <br /><br /><br />Very, very nice figs. What did you use to strip the paint?Rampjaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618605045955593359noreply@blogger.com
