[QUOTE="ledded, post: 2049949, member: 12744"] Yo, JD, I've done some of this. Mostly with Clix of different sorts, but with a few D&D minis also. It's a little different than the metals, as you can't depend on being able to file as reliably as metal when you make mods, but cutting and gluing can be a bit easier. You can also make small cuts, then heat/bend/cool rapidly to do position changes, which is much more involved in Metals. Personally, any of those that I've taken time to convert I've gotten around to stripping with Goof-off also, and you wouldnt believe the nice detail under some of that crappy paint :). I would use a floquil or GW primer to re-prime for painting personally, most of the commercial primers might "craze" or damage your plastic/rubber minis. The brown stuff that I use for modeling and filling sticks just fine to these minis (so far) and works well since you dont have to bake it like the cheaper sculpey I've used on some of my metals (ovens + plastic minis = bad). If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them. [/QUOTE]
