These tactical marines were rescued from what can only be described as a thick double dip in red paint.
They were also assembled with hot glue.
They will now join the ranks of my Iron Hands project.
What psychopath uses hot glue for miniatures??
There’s a lot of people who have never worked on miniatures before and don’t know any better.
My father was into wargaming and model building, so I had a good resource available to me as a kid. Not everyone has that.
Not sure, but I have two landraiders put together the same way.
They literally fell apart when I stripped the paint off them.
Are they any ‘before’ pictures? Sounds more grotesque than a squad of plague marines.
Sadly no, I didn’t think to do that until after they went into the isopropyl.
As someone who has spent a fair bit of time recently stripping and repairing a few eBay baragins, I admire your dedication.
Thanks, most of the stuff I work with these days is secondary market (ebay, Kijiji, marketplace) so I am getting very adept at salvage work.
