Can anyone suggest the best method and product(s) - preferrably readily available in the UK - for stripping the paint and primer from miniatures? Plastic minis to be precise but if it works on metal too that'd be ideal. I just scored a bunch of dark eldar plus a vehicle but the paint job is pretty poor and the primer has been caked on.

I use fairy power spray works a treat if you leave it for bout hour or two, and doesnt damage the model in slightest (i left some in for couple o days lol) , just leave to soak, then scrub with old toothbrush

+ its only like £3 from supermarket lol bargin!!

I second the use of Fairy Power Spray, works a treat.

Ah, cheers guys! Who'd have thought good old Fairy would be be the answer. A national bleedin treasure for sure.

Simple Green, it's available worldwide and it works well without any chance of arming the plastic.
