For paint stripping delicate objects you can get a sand blaster that will connect to a compressor. Build a blasting box out of a plastic see through bin and use a gentle abrasive (like walnut shell) starting on low PSI and increasing until you get the results you like. That nose was probably done for any which way you look at it though.
I agree on the nose. I'm not sure I do enough to warrant the purchase of a sand blaster, but that is a great idea! I may still look into that anyway, just for the sheer "cool" factor of having a sand blaster. Thank you for the suggestion, and of course for watching!
Yeah... I'm actually still curious how he would have turned out if I didn't soak him. Luckily, there's lots of modern tutorials about how to make your own composite to give me the idea for the fix.
What an incredible recovery! And thank you back! It's smaller channels who work so hard to create a community. I try to interact with smaller channels because they are so happy to have others comment and react to them. I'm still a small channel and I have made so many friends through other channels with less than 5k subs. Enjoy the Holidays! -John
Thanks! And yes, we've been watching your channel. Planning to reach out to you about a collaboration after the holidays, so look for that if you're interested. I think it would be fun!
You do awesome work! Keep rocking the figures.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it!

2:42 When you said “He’s not actually wood, he’s composite” I winced. Anyone who’s had something made of MDF get wet would know what happens next.

Hi Mandy, technically speaking wood is a composite.
Good work.
Really? I thought it was just when it was mixed with something else. Wouldn't raw wood just be wood? Glad to learn something new though. Thanks!!
long cellulose fibres held together by lignine, if you want the technicality of it 🙂
Very cool. Knowing that, I may not make the same mistake with another one. Thanks for the info!
