Now I am not sure what happened. I did wash the figures before priming with the same P3 back primer I used on all my other figures. There was an issue with the initial coat of red (it dried with crack pasterns on it) on the figure in the derby and if this issue was restricted to him I would say its just an old bottle of paint. The figures were gloss coat sealed given an ink wash and then dulcoat sealed.
Now they did spend the day in my car so maybe the heat effected the resin, maybe moister got trapped in the paint when I applied the seal. Anyone else run into this sort or issue. I have written to Black Scorpion miniatures concerning this issue and will post any response I get.
The miniatures are resin of a sort I have not worked with before so the cause could be some interaction of the materials, paint etc.
Any one seen anything like this? Gordon and the gang at Adler were stumped and that is a first.
I did play in a short FOW battle running a British tank list that got it self shot to pieces and broken in two turns... Shortest game I have had to date! (pictures latter)

A lot of resin minis need to be washed with warm water and soap becasue they have to much of the releasae agent on them. This definately casues peeling.
ReplyDeleteA lot of resin minis have a heavy coating of the release agent still on them that is hard to detect. This will definately casue peeling. A good practice with resin is to wash with soap and water before priming.
ReplyDeleteThat could be it. I did wash them but maybe not adequately...
ReplyDeleteI had a similar problem with some resin buildings from JR Minis. No idea why it happened with just that one batch of buildings, but they got sticky a few days after I painted them, and seemed to "sweat" off paint. A friend of mine has a Forgeworld model that won't take paint at all on one spot. Resin can be weird, frustrating stuff.
