Stripping models! So yeah, priming and painting drunk may not be the best idea. My proof is my Cygnar army. I have about 30 some odd models that I am in the process of stripping and washing off. Tons of fun. When drunk, I screwed up in way too many ways:
-Used WAY too much primer on the models
-Primed in my garage while it was raining, so the humidity made everything fuzzy
-then sponged on rust colors, and went straight to sponging on liquid latex, without varnishing first. This meant that the latex REALLY got a firm hold in between all the ridges of the models that the fuzziness created
-Next morning while hung over, I convinced myself I could fix it. How? By putting MORE paint on the models. 4 layers to be exact. And wash.
So after wasting a few hours and a bunch of paint, I had to go out and buy Purple Power to fix it all. Most of the models are stripped to the metal, which is nice, but I still have a few left and then I get to start all over. Yay me. So, lesson learned. Maybe. And by maybe, I mean probably not.
After about 3.5 hours, I have the majority of the models cleaned and put back together. A bunch of htem cam eapart at the joints, so I had to clean the remaining glue off and put them back together. However, my power drill was fully charged so I took this opportunity to pin a bunch of stuff.
