The great VOR restoration project

As you can tell, I've been playing a bit of Vor lately ( http://foxphoenix40k.blogspot.com/2010/06/vor-maelstrom.html for you who have no clue what I'm going on about), so I was taking a good hard look at my miniatures. As you can see from pictures like this one-



- that they were in dire need of an updated paint scheme. A lot of these miniatures have not had a different paint job since I bought them in 99 or 2000.

Luckily I knew of a solution. I had got advice from DakkaDakka that Castrol's Super Clean (Big purple jug) was safe for plastic, so I had used it on plastic minis in the past and it worked wonders. So again, I got out the tub and the Super Clean and put the old minis in the soak for 24 hours.

After the time was up, a simple scrub with a toothbrush yielded decent results, and they came out looking something like this:




At that point I was able to pick out the leftovers with toothpicks, and repaint them.

So far, it's going well. I've finished half a Union squad's painting, and am working on basing them:



So, I have my work cut out for me. Back to the painting table!
