My friend Dave took it out of it's little sit bath of Pine-Sol after soaking for 24 hours, got out his trusty toothbrush and saved my poor little figure (and some cash too!). I am simply amazed at how well it came out. So fear not fellow painters, if you screw up, don't throw away your figures and buy new ones. If it's acrylic based then go out and buy yourself a bottle of Pine-Sol!
In the meantime here's a couple of shots of the one I didn't mess up with only one leg mostly finished, it's just to show the different stages that have to happen before I get to the finished leg looking effect. Even when that's done there will be tons of other detail work that needs to be done.
Cheers

Well, I for one am glad the little guy is finally out of the plastic container. He looked so sad. I see that Dave had the lid on tight too, so the poor fellow could not escape!
