Brighten up unpainted baseplates

Post by Broughton »

Hi Tinman,

do you also know, how to brighten up tarnished unpainted baseplates? Is there any chance to make them shine again?

many thanks Peter

There is a host of metal polish on the market. Use with elbow grease or carefully with a Dremmel. You can also try diping the model in Coca Cola.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
