Getting rid of a few Infinity models

[StepwisePilot]

Ok, so my Infinity models got completely botched. I had 12 models, and assembly for all 12 was hell, with pieces not sticking and such, and ended up with glue everywhere, thus obscuring some details. Only 6 were painted, and I'll just throw those out. The remaining 6 are primed white.

So, if anyone wants 6 somewhat botched, unpainted, primed white PanO models, let me know. I'm think maybe $10 for the bunch of them. Like I said, they don't look too good, and if nobody shows any interest after a while, I'll just toss them with the rest.

I figure nobody will want them, but might as well try.

what do they look like?

[Impulse]

Potentially try stripping them maybe?

Post pictures of the painted ones too, I thought you were a pretty good painter last time I saw your stuff. Might be interested as well depending on what PanO stuff it is

They look fairly bad. Especially around the arm joints, as the glue more or less destroyed all details there.

I don't know which models they are in particular, other than that they were in the following box (As well as a single from somewhere else):

I can confirm that the Joan of Arc model is one of the few I did paint, so it's not part of the 6. Also, I won't post pictures of the painted ones, as the paint was chipping away off the primer as I was painting them, thus botching them completely.

If nothing else, I've at least learned to avoid metal minis in the future.

Please do not throw out that Joan of Arc model Hang on to it and I'll grab it when in town, next.

yeah metal models require a completely different approach than resin ones. gotta be carefull.

[Hi I'm Derek]

It might be too late but saving metal models is WAY easier to do than it is with plastic or resin! This is because there are stripping agents you can use that will react with or dissolve the bonds created both by acrylic paints AND superglue while leaving the underlying metal surface unmarred. In addition, because pewter is much tougher than plastic or resin, you can use abrasive action to clean out fouled detailing much more aggressively.

Seriously I've saved metal minis that were buried in glue and paint all the way back to the original sheen. Just drop them in Castrol SuperClean for a week and you're golden.

The models are spoken for.
