<p>Well, I finally got around to stripping the two already painting Whispers in preparation for my colour changes/updates and general (hopefully) upgrading of my models.</p>
<p>As the models are metal, I use a cheap acetone-based nail varnish remover. My models had several layers of paint on them, along with a gloss varnish and then matt. I left them in the acetone for 24 hours and then carefully peeled the paint off the models. It comes off fairly easily, but I wouldn't recommend scrubbing as it just makes life harder for you. Use something small and fairly sharp to pick bits of paint out of recesses.</p>
<p>My whispers in the solution:</p>

<p>And these are my whispers after being stripped. Mouse over the image to see what they looked like beforehand!

<p>Really impressed by how beautifully they came out! Time to basecoat them and get them ready for their skinwork.</p>
