Personally I think you're being a bit rash Steve. There's plenty of stuff there that can be adapted for modelling purposes. Toilet brush bristles make great aerials for example.
I should have mentioned this earlier but when I use acrylics over oil for picking out detail they are used straight from the tube without diluting with water.
That's probably a major factor in the technique actually working. :LOL:

I'm afraid I will politely disagree with that statement. If the oils are dry they will adhere. However when I use acrylic over oils it is only over small areas such as piping on uniforms, buttons etc. and not large areas.
Roger.
My advice is to ignore the rules and advice and go ahead and experiment on an old or scrap figure. What's the worst that can happen? Nobody's going to die.

Love it, sculpt and painting both top line.
I hate it when people comment shame it isn't this or that scale but if anyone'e seen my facebook page it's shame it isn't a 1/48 US Navy Hellcat pilot. :whistle::D

That's great news re. the Chota Sahib figures. I've order kits from the Frome Model Centre in the past and they are already bookmarked as a good trader. (y)
Safe journey and drive carefully. ;)
Looking good Richie. IMO the 60th's was one of the smartest infantry uniforms of the 19th century so looking forward to seeing it with some paint on.
