After numerous nicks, wounds, and bloody towels, I discovered that a good soak in a pan of water allowed the figures to easily pop off their bases.

Always, as you say, a chore and one I don't enjoy. I should buy a little vibrasaw or craft bandsaw one day but being a klutz I'm always afraid I'll cut my fingertips off.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-39753469359320987482015-02-11T05:20:31.933-08:002015-02-11T05:20:31.933-08:00Welcome Cyrus!
