Title: Stained Meeples? Post by: Scott on March 13, 2011, 03:42:53 pm Has anybody tried staining a set of unpainted meeples? It just occurred to me that they might look nice.
Title: Re: Stained Meeples? Post by: CKorfmann on March 13, 2011, 07:48:34 pm I have never tried it, but I think you're right. They would probably look very nice. Likewise, has anyone ever tried to soake their meeples in paint thinner or something to completely remove the paint?

Hmm sounds good, I might try it sometime with one of the unpainted meeple sets I bought at MeeplePeople :). Chris, I've been wondering how to remove the paint, I just used sanding paper (fine grit) to do it, but it's a lot of work. I have painted some brown meeples, but the paint is rather opaque: (http://www.redpanda.nl/ColorMeeples.JPG) Title: Re: Stained Meeples?

Can anyone confirm that?

Too bad all the other colours were sold out.... :) CARC_Zoner Title: Re: Stained Meeples? Post by: Scott on March 16, 2011, 06:59:37 pm Yeah... I asked MeepleSource about that and got this response:
Quote We have a good amount of new meeples and re-stocks of currently out-of-stock meeples currently being produced. It shouldn't more than a few more weeks before we have them, so stay posted! I had asked about getting a gray megameeple, so I assume that's one of the new meeples. Here's hoping for A&M meeples! Title: Re: Stained Meeples?

I sure hope so. It seems like I've been waiting forever. Title: Re: Stained Meeples?
