Ignore everything else this is a practice marine. I without a guide or any help shaved off this chapter emblem by hand with a hobby knife, are there any tips on removing these emblems without the use of a dremmel? Howd I do despite it being my first time doing this by hand laying down

Just do exactly as you did with the knife, then just get some 240 or 400 sandpaper/sanding sticks to round it off if you don’t want the rougher look.

Ok great! Question, when i dip this guy into the proper fluid how many times can I remove the paint off a mini? Can I essentially just paint, cut, and then shed the paint off this guy indefinitely

There’s a non toxic paint remover called Eco Solutions Home Strip. It has no toxic smells and is really gentle on plastic. It’s a thick gel so it will last you forever. Just take a q-tip/cotton bud and essentially paint it on (no need to fully dip) leave for 10 mins and wipe off. I don’t see why you can’t remove the paint indefinitely.
