Where can I find first half 18th cent figures?

In the US there is an oven cleaner called Easy Off which also works pretty well on metal, resin flats as well as plastic models.  It is pretty easy to use and does a nice job of paint removal.  I am guessing there is an equivalent there as well.

Depends upon the figures, Paulo.  In my experience, the paint cleans off the old Heinrichsen figures readily enough.  But I doubt that dish soap will get it done under all circumstances.

I use Jasco gel paint stripper, no idea what the equivalent in Portuguese hardware stores might be.  Stay away from the very aggressive stuff though.  I thought to do that for time savings once and ruined an antique slush cast battleship.

I think so.
Dishwasher Tabs for cleaning of old paint empfelen I can.
Figures in a glass of water to taps and add. And soak a few sins.
then clean with a tooth brush from old paint.

PauloLib:
Thanks Wolfgang.

Do you know if I'll be able to remove the paint?

böckchen:
Why do not you here at Heritage.
There currently on offer.  :o

If you Industie the old color on the figures do not mind  8)
