Greetings from Scotland!

Welcome!

Welcome from Edinburgh you’ll find this an excellent place for expanding that list of projects!

Wonderland models has some plastics and is good for paint etc. There is a gaming shop not far from there which also has some plastics - warlord and possibly just bolt action. I can't remember the name though (Six's to Hit???).

There’s Games Hub just around the corner in Lothian Place - a small-ish shop and basement gaming tables, but I’m a relative newcomer so don’t know what any previous names might have been.

I remember Mac Models, great memories. What was the name of the shop on Dalkeith Road? I used to walk round and browse while my Mum was doing the shopping at Savacentre. Happy Days.

Was it mercenary miniatures?

Just set brush to miniature for the first time in 30 years (28mm Mex American War Mexicans from 1st Corps).

To totally change the subject, what is the best way to strip the paint off a mini??

Biostrip! By far and away the best way, and no smells or fumes. It's probably the quickest, too - takes about 20 minutes. You can get a big tub of it on Amazon for about a tenner.

Oh, and welcome! Another with fond memories of Mac's Models here!

Thanks will check it out. I borrowed some of the wife's nail polish remover (acetone free) which worked 95% ish when applied with an old tooth brush...

With Biostrip, I find that anything in 'shiny' metal (slottabase-era Citadel, for example) or plastic often needs hardly any scrubbing at all; the paint just sloughs off. With the very old, dark and dubious metal of some early-80s castings, a bit more effort can be needed - but I think that's often due to decades-old enamels.

I remember Macs Models. Used to sell Mac Alternative Armies then Harlequin Miniatures. Good shop.
