Okay, so sometimes you can peel off wallpaper. In this case, it was too brittle and had too much paste. A little mixture of fabric softener and water plus a stiff bristle brush and some elbow grease and it all falls away... -

Three of the interior walls, three exterior walls, the interior floor and part of the roof reduced to a small pile on the garage floor. The funny part is that it only took about 15 minutes after I dampened it with the solution. -
I need a little advice on a situation. I recently purchased three new kits, two partial builds and a bunch of HoM furniture kits still sealed in their boxes. The seller is a miniaturist who does mostly HO and N scale. He does some beautifully detailed work and has won some national honors. The downside is that he smokes A LOT. I would have turned around if they weren't such a good deal. They all REEK. I let them sit out in the open in my garage for a couple of weeks. I then wrapped the individually in bags with a lot of charcoal. Much of the smell has subsided, but it is still pretty noticeable. I am going to primer all of the kits as I build. I am hoping it covers the rest of the smell. What have you done in the past in cases like this? In my previous hobbies I would occasionally run across this and cat litter or charcoal always worked. This is larger scale and smokier. I am open to any and all ideas. The new in the box kits are Bobbi, Tennyson and Pierce. The partials are a Coventry Cottage and a Tiffani. There is enough here to keep me busy, but I am impatient about removing the smoke smell. Thanks for your input!
