When you do, please take-and-post WIP images. I picked up a box to put in the consignment bin at the store, but you've got me itching, and terrified, to see them fleshed out. Thumbs-R-Us.

Thanks!

Doug

I tried the knife-then-brass-Brush method yesterday on a batch of restic Mantic Rebs and it worked quite well.  It doesn't replace all the tedious knife work of mold removal.  However there are alot of follow-up cuts to remove the pilling plastic that can be instead replaced with a brief application of the brush.  The bristles on the brush I'm using were heavily used (for mini paint stripping) bent beyond repair but it didn't seem to affect the effectiveness of the method.

Beast,
I'll post some pre-paint pics, but there won't be much to see. Just a bunch of figs with no mold lines.

No need, then. I suppose I was thinking more before-and-after, maybe with a pic or two of applied brush.

Next thing you know, I'll be asking for HD video...  ;)

I'll give the box a bit more time in the bin, then brave those first steps. Thanks!

Doug
