    Here is my current progress when blog starts. Ankylosaurus on base for scale, WIP Carnosaur and bath of 20 warriors in isopropyl to get rid of old paint.

    Welcome to Lustria! :)
    I'm liking the colours you've used on the Carnosaur. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future.

    Welcome.

    I would suggest another solvent. For example, a degreaser like "LA's totally awesome". (Wierd name, but it works and it's available - at least locally to Florida - at the dollar store.)

    I know about half a dozen different brands that can be used. None of those being able to purchase locally. I found one paint stripper that was guaranteed to work, but unfortunately it dissolved not only paint, but mini as well :D so for now, I still have about liter of isopropyl and it works reasonably fine.

    Also, yesterday I managed to strip them, so here is result. I will use debonder on blobs of superglue gel on shields and it should be fine.

    It was lazy day at work today, so I wondered if might be able to make Realmshaper Engine by myself from XPS, as I have proxxon and angle cutter. I found out dimensions of kit, laid some calculations, did quick&dirty model and by the time I was done, there was still time, so I added some details... and more details, and more. I divided it to parts and hollowed it and ended up with solid 80% done 3D model for print :D It is missing just glyphs, top pillars and that you know... magical top.

    Some small progress on carnosaur. Claws and teeth are painted, I was dentist today, I shall be Ophthalmologist tommorow. :D

    I also managed to strip paint from all those second-hand warriors and Sunblood. Unfortunatelly, Sunblood was finecast and after bath in isopropyl it gummified and I basically ruined the mini...

    Nice dental work ;)

    Sad to here about the Sunblood... finecast is a funny(read aweful) thing that way.

    This week is weak in progress as I had eye procedure and my eyelid is massively swollen, so it would not be the best idea to aim brush on any details. :D
    At least I managed to spray primer on carnosaur rider chair and unit of raptors (without riders). I also put some terrain on that DIY base for Ankylosaur and I plan to add some ropes on that dino himself today.

    Ok, there was issue with company laptop docking station (and since our IT takes 2 hours to arrive from office next door) and I had some time to sit in cubicle and look busy. So this and my lunch break resulted in basic platform for Ark of Sotek and some additional wiring around leg and tail.

    That is some great creating there. Custom Ark of Sotek is a very good idea.

    Sorry to hear about the ruined Sunblood.

    That's a clean paint job! Is that contrast? If so, that a VERY clean paint job! Well done.
