Badly painted kitbash-Shades

This is not the highlight of my hobby, not at all, but we can't be shown just the highlights, sometimes we need to see some downlights and mistakes...

Two Mantic skeletons plus some bits. For some reason I have literary been pouring paint all over these so I think I'll have to either put them in a state of colour-removing or just try to highlight it some more, sort of like a band-aid on a bled-through bandage... 
     Since Simple Green is not available here, one will have to settle with oven-cleaning - barely works when removing the colour after been sunk into it for 10 hours. Or, I just settle for this and fix the base and call it a day...
