The strip back...
I may possibly regret this but I read elsewhere today that engine degreaser works as an effective stripper.
I haven't got any Dettol around home at the moment - so, against my better judgement, I decided to tried it out this afternoon - *very carefully*.
It seems to have actually worked. I worked carefully - rinsing the body throughly between applications and have got it back to this (see images). The crackling around the cone is annoying. I hope it's not embedded into the styrene. I'm taking a break for today - I'm nervous as heck...
On another note, I got the gel sheets this week and I made some headway on the control panels. Very fiddly but the result is promising. I've employed some spray glue to help to secure them in place. I think the glue actually works as a but of a diffuser.
