| Stripping Finecast |
Lesson learned: no finecast stripping.
Once dried, I primed them with my Bossny Blackboard black (one last can remaining)
Some reds can still be seen under right lighting (as shown below) to which should be fixed with the Zandri Dust basecoat.

Most of the basecoat layers were completed during the Holidays in Penang when things are quiet. Hopefully, they should be completed within the next two months and ready to be assigned as part of Deathwing Company.

I also took the chance to finally do some work on the Space Hulk Minis. Like the Deathwings above, I basecoat, wash and drybrushed the main body (reds in this case) and gave ta basecoat layer on the rest as seen below (basically the cloth, seals, chains, metals and weapons)
Genestealers were also not forgotten. Four of them were my test subject on the paint scheme as seen in White Dwarf issue 33 which showcased Space Hulk. The carapace were the focus in this work.
Looking forward to clear up these models by May.

Personally, I absolutely hate stripping paint from models. From the little I have done so far, the effort taken is almost never worth it. It's worse when I try to do it on a model I didn't paint cause I'm not sure what paint was used i.e. acrylic, enamel or others. But yours turned out ok after the re-priming. :)
True. Materials used for painting would be a major factor on the effort needed to remove the paint. At least in this case were my previous work and also learned much from my previous experience. Usually if the paint isn't removed by Dettol, I'd probably start priming over as what I did for the finecast librarian.
Barely any paint came out to which I decided to just prime over, to which I admit some details looked lost.
Lessons learned.
