I soaked some OG figures overnight and left a Perry metal spear in the hands of one… Wow! Overnight it turned the bath orange. The spear itself fuzzed up to about 1.15 its original thickness and left a rusty tinge on much of the figure. Sure hope that's not going to happen to the ones I already painted, albeit slower! |

The real problem I've found with the laws of physics is that they don't respect minis. I lost something like 16 original battletech mechs that way once. [Shrugs] Whacha gonna do? If it is any consolation, that is the one time in thirty seven years of painting and even home-casting minis that anything like that happened to me. |

base them on zinc washers. they will corrode before the figures will. you may someday need to replace them, but your minis should survive… |
