I’d recommend simple green. I’ve been using it for years and it hasn’t damaged any of the materials I’ve played with. Some of the pieces have soaked for over a year without damage to the minis or bases. One caveat though, simple green dissolves super glue and green stuff. It doesn’t take long to penetrate joints so if it is a figure with a lot of custom work it can mess up quite a bit.

Have you tried shaving a sharpie tip down with an exacto blade? That’s an old modelers trick and it works well for getting fine lines. The only thing to watch for is the points get rather delicate when you trim a lot.

That’s quite cool Armchair Warrior! What primer are you using?

Good luck! I’m looking forward to hearing how it turns out.

It’s similar to Gun Control in the US. it’s a lot of feel good legislation that only affects law abiding people. We had a crazy case several years ago there was a convicted felon was caught with a short barreled shotgun that was not registered. A short barreled shotgun is required to be registered with the federal government. But because he was a convicted felon he wasn’t allowed to own any type of firearm. He argued successfully (US vs. Haynes 1968) that it violated his Fifth amendment protection against self incrimination. So now the law of the land here is gun control violates criminals Fifth amendment rights. It’s absolutely insane but there you go.

You can do something similar with thin fishing line. You just apply drops to the line in places and you won’t really notice the fishing line. That’s a beautiful model though.

I’ve been following the London drama about knives. I’m not sure what to say, I live in the Southern US and getting your first pocketknife as a small boy has been a right of passage for a very long time. Tom Sawyer carried one in his story by Mark Twain published in 1876. So knives have always been something that is every day carry like my wallet or keys. So for the Mayor of London to declare “there is never a reason to carry a knife” just leaves me totally flabbergasted. I’ve worked construction in both the industrial and the residential realms and everybody worth their salt has a knife. We use them all the time and a lot of the guys carry more than one. And it’s not because they are insane but each will be dedicated to a specific task and/or backup because depending on the job, especially cutting Manila rope, they dull very fast and you don’t always have the leisure to resharpen them.

Europe is so weird, so you can have a 4-1/2 foot long spear but you can’t have a baseball bat?

I’d just like to see some synergy in the WoW theme. I’m surprised AK’s aren’t included because the theme seems to be all of the independent models that don’t really support each other. Like Fast front line units (Doomies) that can’t have the support Ternion cast their Blizzard spell on them. Granted: Battle Wizard on some of the squishiest models in our inventory who only should be in melee if everything has gone pear shaped. The Outriders are the exception to this rule but will probably outrun the CMD bubble when they engage. The saddest thing is this is the only theme I can field with my existing models.
I’d love to run all th options of Amored Corps (maybe even the goofy ass chariots) but sadly that is way out of my price range right now. So it’s very frustrating when the only current theme I can field is a mess. There’s not even really a light at the end of the tunnel for me because nobody outside of PP knows when WoW will get CID’ed.

A baseball bat is legal in Europe as long as you have a ball and glove with it. 😜
And a baseball bat is whole lot better than a dummy rifle.

Go with frangible ammo. It won’t penetrate as many walls.

You could give the Jacks Passage as the benefit. I mean Carapace on Slayer spam is about that silly.
