Re-furbishing the palace figures ...

Today got started on cleaning, touching-in and re-basing the palace figures.

First job was to cut out some new bases from clear plastic (culled from the other half's discarded Barbie doll packaging). To do this I used a 16mm crafting circle punch, just robust enough for the job.

The first batch of figures done, the above stairs staff...
quite a lot more to do ( I think I have getting on for 70+ figures for the palace and about 35+ others, then I'll have the Ratnik figures to paint and base - plenty to do 😀 )

Good idea using clear bases for your figures.

Looking good.
A well-staffed palace.

Excellent basing from a most effective and economical source. The clear bases really look the part.

Forgot to ask what sort of modelling knife do you use for removing them from their bases?

I use a pair of strong snippers to cut the figure base off and trim level with a stanley knife; then file the base of the feet. Sometimes I need to use a bit of green stuff to level up the feet a bit (some snipping does not go to plan).
