I know this subject always come up but how did you clean them/remove from bases? Looks like a good result :)

Yes, I sold these off !! But I use a pointed wire cutter (you can get them at craft stores or some hardware stores) to cut around the bases. Then file off the excess, to the proper base size. Then soak in a cleaning product called Simple Green, available any where that household cleaning products are sold. Like grocerers, dollar stores, hardware stores, etc. ... I soak them for a day or so, then use an old tooth brush to scrub off the paint. That by this time the paint is flaking off. And I repeat this "cleansing" until the models are at the "right state of clean." I've let things soak for a week or more. Scrubbing off paint a little everyday. The once all cleaning is complete I soak and wash with clear water ... ;D

Cheers Legion, I'm inspired to see if I can turn my bright orange marines into something a little more subtle..
