Now, there's been a bit of a hangup with the repaints...what? don't look at me like that, I've got a good reason this time, honest...
Anyway, I was talking to a new aquaintance of mine the other day, we eventually moved on to the subject of repainting, it was then that I got put on to this cleaning solution called "Simple Green", wonderful stuff, really, let a figure soak in it overnight and the paint just puckers up like a raisin, then just sloughs off with a quick blast of water and just a little scrubbing(should have taken up Aerotech instead, fewer tiny niches). Best part though, wont melt those ever-so-finicky plastic figures
Which means it's going to be awhile tiil any show up here...but hey, look at the bright side! I'll be doing step-by-step photos.
In the meantime, I've decided to take up knitting again...what? It's perfectly masculine...yes, really...maybe I should elaborate.
Last year, I felt I needed a new hobby(well, I actually just need a life, but this is a passable substitute for now), so I decided to take up knitting, chain maille that is.
you'll see some of the old WIP shots I took over the next few days. might even do a tutorial if anyone wants it.
talk to y'all later.

"...Only fools stand up and really lay down their arms. No, not me, not when death lasts forever."
I've actually got a HUGE backlog of figures I've been meaning to get photos of though, they're building up on a shelf right now, and to be honest, I think they're starting to resent me for it

Hell, I only use oil because that's what my old man uses on his N-scale trains and it is what I was brought up on
