Jamie, I think I did try oils once, but it took days, even weeks to dry, not enough patience.
Good idea to practice using oven cleaner, does this only work on metal figures or will it also be ok for resin.
Cheers Ken
Marcel, many thanks for your comments, I'm hoping to finish the figure and put the final pics on this weekend or Mon latest.

Ken,
metal figures are fairly immune to oven cleaner. I have stripped some resin figures, I dare say most would not suffer too much. It would depend on the resin, how long they they are covered/ soaked in the oven cleaner.
I did strip one figure multiple times, the worst was a few pin holes. I have no idea what resin it was though.
high strength paint strippers are fairly aggressive, and can deform or even eat a resin figure.
there are some larger scale figures out there that are made of injected plastic; cheap starting points, no great investment, and ok test beds for techniques, ideas and so forth.
I'll leave a message on your page, rather then hijack your informative thread on sculpting
cheers

Ken ,
I had the pleasure to both meet you and to see this in real life and it is fantastic , some great detail and so very much of it , like you said this needs to be broken down to assist in painting , but what an impression it will give when its done , love the "baggage" he is carrying .
Heres an idea for another sculpt how about a bust (200mm) of a French WW1 soldier but in an early gas mask ...I would love to paint something like this up !!!!
You are a talented sculptor that is for sure and you painting skills will improve with each figure as we chatted at Crewe on Sunday .
Best wishes

Kevin thanks for taking the time to demonstrate your painting technique and answering all my questions, great help.
WW1 gas mask?? If you send me pics I'll attempt it.
Cheers Ken
What happens if you get scared half to death.... twice.?

I missed this, don't know why.
Read this over and over, and i think you created something unique. Great work.
Hope to see it painted very soon. Must be a great challenge to paint it.
