Awesome! Thanks!
I have some space marines that have been painted 1 too many times and need to be stripped. I'm going to try this out.

Tried this on one plastic Space Marine today. It had 4-5 layers of paint on it. I had primered it, painted it, re-primered it and another coat of paint. Also some decals between the layers. Soaked it for 10 minutes in HEB brand non-acetone nail polish remover and sure enough it worked just as everyone said. I used an electric toothbrush to scrub the mini. I also had to use an exacto-blade to dig some of the paint out of a few cracks and crevices (maybe will try it for an extra 2-3 minutes on the next mini.) It took a little work, had to scrub for about 10 minutes and it looked almost new but with a little staining from the initial base coat. It also softened the glue and the base and backpack fell off during the scrubbing which is not a big deal at all. The plastic did feel a tad bit soft but resisted my fingernail when I tried to press into it.

I'm going to finish the remaining 9 tomorrow. This certainly works.

Thanks Bongeh! This is a great post!
