Yeah, should be able to flick it off with a scalpel though. Then they're ready to be assembled properly and primed. Taken a pause though while I bake a cake, then once that's done I need to cut some wood to add extra steps to the kids climbing frame so the 2 yr old can get up to the slide. If I have time I'll try and get some figures tried with fairy.
So many projects..... so little time.......

That's a lot of glue!

Argonor: Not to hijack the topic, but I've had some odd trouble removing paint from some plastic models. Even after separate attempts with dettol, fairy power spray and isopropyl, there are some thin (and sometimes thick) patches of paint (or primer?) that turn slightly powdery rather than gloopy, but still cling to the plastic fairly well. I still need to get some fresh stripper to try 'em out in my own cleaner. I'll be interested to see how DBK gets on with it.

Might be army painter primer, that always acts strangle when I try to strip it, including the powdery nature.

There's going to be a run on cleaners at this rate ;)
