I then do a pass with a round diamond file, and a roll of sandpaper to smooth down the scrape trails left by the knife- generally only on the visible surface. After priming, I drybrush a lighter color and this reveals anything I missed.<br />For smooth models like horses or barbarians, I use milliput grey green thinned with water (millijuice) brushed on and let dry before I sand with bazillion grit wet and dry. Dont let this settle in details.<br /><br />Delaney Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648233464982438742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-43045081086540861022013-09-10T01:37:15.911-07:002013-09-10T01:37:15.911-07:00May I ask your trick to cleaning up so many minis?...May I ask your trick to cleaning up so many minis?! It always takes me ages to clean up mould lines and blow outs on these old minis. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I just need to get back on the ball healthwise and I'll be continuing to convert the much more recent skullpass dwarves, into chaos dwarves...<br /><br />I only own a few of the chaos dwarfs from the nineties, the big hat ones, and just one! (holding a bazooka) of the more classic ones. <br />The big hats I've kept as a skirmish force of some kind and may use the bazooka bearing classic one within my army of converted dwarves eventually as a cannon/rocket warmachine stand in or some such?<br /><br />keep up stuff and be smily!Jessica Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706151771432811692noreply@blogger.com
