What is the best way of stripping paint?

Post by Joemanji »

Sorry to be what I guess is repetitive, but can anyone advise me on a good method for stripping paint from old models?

Cheers
Joe :D

Coat them in it, and leave them in direct sunlight for a week.

Castol Super Clean, its tire cleaner. Try not to leave plastics in it too long becuase the details will get muddled, but metal can chill out in super clean forever. Also you can take citidel spray varnish off with it.

Imagine flying into someone else's country and killing it's leader with a cane. And then taking all thier money. Well he's Scrouge McDuck and I guess he can do whatever the flip he wants.

The miracle liquid that is Nitromors. Soak them in a jam jar of this stuff for 12 hours and watch the paint slide off. Just don't expect to find any plastic stuff after - it won't be there.
And don't get any of it on you. trust me. hurts.
