I shouldn't laugh but this is pretty funny! I just dry my stuff under a lamp.

I had a mishap myself, after assembling my plastic models I decided for the first time to use white undercoat. The Tamiya white spray I used however was awful and the final effects were similar to dipping the figures in white acrylic paint- the models could not be saved:/

Christopher- howl of anguish , followed by a few choice expletives, and then a hiss of steam as I plunged the sizzling miniatures into a bowl of washing up.

But it could have been far worse!

Yikes! Can they be "casualties" on the table top too?

Do you have any large flying models that need their base weighting? Someone I know (who was it?) used melted figures to counterbalance a giant red bat....

Interesting Richard, maybe I can build or cast them into something...

Aaaahhh, that hurt.

Sorry to see nice minis so ...flat...

God to hear that some of them survived the sunbath.

Best regards Michael

Oopsy! I do all my drying on the radiator. The microvave would be a short but spectacular way to go!

Oooo that hurts. I did this years ago (actually about 20 years ago!) with a Ral Partha Dragon. I used an epoxy glue to join the wings to the body and decided to speed the curing process in the oven, then got distracted and, well...you can imagine the mess.

That's rough. Not much to be done to fix it, I suppose?

Thanks for expressions of sympathy chaps. I might even be able to salvage a couple of them...

Cheers, Simon

"...and just pop em in the oven at gas mark 4 for 20 minutes until slightly brown on top" OOOOPS!
Did something similar trying to weld a one off figs a couple of years ago...I was quite suprised at how little heat it takes to melt a figs head.
Cheers

Thanks all! I am going to try to salvage a couple of them...

When I do this I put the oven on minimum temperature (200 degrees F) and crack the door open with a wood wedge to get good air circulation.

I'm wondering what alloy these are made from because pure lead is 621 degrees F which should be pretty safe in most cooking ovens.
