How to strip a resin- / finecast-mini  

Posted by Hddvh in

Since Games Workshop is using resin to cast miniatures it s more important then ever before to know how to strip painted resinminiatures.

There are several ways to do so. Some fluids I ve tested worked, some not. And some destroyed the minis... :( So, let me tell you how I am stripping resinminis.

First of all i ll start with a list of things you need:

1. Orange Terpen from Schmincke (it s the worlds best brushcleaner!)
2. An old toothbrush
3. Some protecting glasses
4. Any kind of cup
5. A miniature you want to free from the paint



STEP 1

Fill a little bit of the Orange terpen in your cup and gently dip the brushes of your old toothbrush. Be careful and just dip the brushes into it, otherwise your toothbrush will look like this:



STEP 2

Now you can pick up your mini and brush all over it. You ll see how the paint is getting fluid immidiatly. Just brush all over until it s clean. You could use an old brush with a tough point to reach areas you can t reach with your toothbrush.

Make sure to protect your eyes from the sprinkles caused by brushing the mini. The Orange terpen is acid for your eyes!!



STEP 3

Finally you just have to wash your stripped mini with some soap and water. Now it s ready to be primed again :)
