Jim Lad got a reaction from Canute in Removing the coating on magnetic copper wire
I've successfully used burning on copper wire - followed by a wiped with a rag to remove the residue - but you'd need to be careful of the heat on such fine wire.

Jim Lad got a reaction from thibaultron in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
Agree with Druxey, Michael. You're going to have to strip the top layer off anyway to get a smooth surface, so you might as well go the whole hog.

Jim Lad got a reaction from ggrieco in HMB Endeavour by BANYAN - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1:60 - circa 1768
Congratulations, Pat! A beautiful model all round and a real credit to you.
Never mind the occosional scratch on the Perspex - I've seen what can happen to models in glass cases when something goes wrong - the Perspex is much safer.

Now that looks very workmanlike, Popeye. I feel like she could just sail away and start fishing!

Pat, she looks a beautiful ship.
It's a pity that so much of our early history has disappeared - especially considering that it doesn't go back very far!

She's coming back to life, Michael. Your detailed descriptions of your methods will be an absolute gold mine for others faced with restoration work.
