Guaranteed method of how to strip a model in a few easy steps!!!

Triple Simple Green.

It works on plastic minis beautifully.

Get yourself a little tub or jar depending on how big the mini is and fill it up with un-diluted simple green concentrate, pop the mini in (plastic, metal, whatever.) then let it set completely submerged at least 24 hours... pull it out, brush it off with a wire brush or tooth brush. I don't use wire brushes on plastic minis for fear of marring the surface, but most people tell me it's safe. I'm just not willing to take the chance.

Best part is that it doesn't matter if you leave them in longer. I once had a plastic Warhammer Leman Russ tank sitting in a sealed tub of simple green for 2 months because I couldn't get around to stripping it. Eventually pulled it out and brushed it off with a tooth brush, not a single flaw in the mini. It'll dissolve any super-glue on the mini as well, but i've noticed sometimes the super glue can get stubborn and crusty and stay on, then you have to get more extreme and chip it off.

For warhammer players I think simple green is a godsend. All you have to do if find a cheap ebay auction of a badly painted plastic kit, use simple green to strip it, then make out like a proverbial bandit by getting a plastic kit at probably 1/4 of the cost.
