Pine-Sol (or other pine cleaner) safe to use on resin minis? It's a
great stripper for metal figures. Soak overnight, clean up with a
retired toothbrush. :-)
 
Detail loss on drybrushing sounds like too much/too thick paint on the
brush. Hard to tell sight unseen, of course, but that was my first
thought. It does take practice. I'm not always happy with the results I
get from drybrushing. Hang in there, and try not to get wrapped around
the axle. You'll get it.
 
Best,
Ken

Yeah, black.

I'm at wits end here gang.  How do I learn this when I'm ruining minis
hand over fist?   I only have a handfull resin ships, which I haven't
seen
a way to strip them when I totally botch the paint job.  The only other
ships
I have are a set of new NSL from Jon.  I'm not going near those again
until
I get something that works.  What do I practice on?

The dry brushing killed all the detail on the first mini.
