I have never stripped an old figure, even from my rather dodgy paint job days in the very early 80s. Enamel is hard to strip. But I have added paint to them to 'improve' them. Or to change their livery and the like.
Yup, great little range of Aliens inspired models! I bought these back when they were originally released, pleased to see them still available (could be tempted to pick up more).
just started painting my golfag's other ogre mercenaries that i picked up in the late '80's (in the hard plastic clam shell box, anyone else remember those?)
they'll be going into a single unit with all my other ogres which i had previously painted. i've kept the two i liked best, but have stripped the rest so they can be painted to complement.
thought about it, but never followed thru. The very early stuff, for me 7 years ago), was plastic minis and i just took some better pics for Nostalgia /progression painting-skills reference,
and then sold them on ebay.
I have a display case, but will outgrow it very soon, so some stuff will have to go.
