Hi All, thanks for the input. I will try some of the tips you have posted Pete.

This thread seems like it would fit well under "Tinman's Restoration Handbook".
Would people be open to moving it there so it can be easily found in the future?

I hope Pete posts the results of his experiments.

Hi Tinman haven't done much on the base plates , owing to having a bad chest infection for a couple of weeks & having four bottom teeth out in hospital last Friday not felt like doing anything Pete.

I don't know, these retirees - any excuse not to do any work!

Hi Sven, haven't had much luck with the base plates, i have used jiff & tooth paste makes a bit of difference always worried about rubbing the paint off the model, i think went they are really tarnished it seems to bite into the metal. Pete.
