I have a lot of tau that i had as my first amry and now i want to strip and repaint it but i tried simple green and brake fluid but it didn't work. I put them in a sealed container for 18 hour's. I used a tuth brush to take them off but it didn't do much. Keep in mind i have a lot of plastic model's.

Sounds like they were primed then assembled with CA glue. I picked up a bunch in trade that were done this way and anyplace that had glue on is didn't strip at all. If this is the case then you are in for allot of slow stripping with nail polish remover and a q-tip. Use it in small amounts and you should be fine, just don't soak the fig.

The model RR guys have been getting good results with Chameleon Paint stripper. http://www.chameleonproductsonline.com/ I have seen some of the before and after shots from users and it does work. I am probably going to order some shortly so I can try it out for myself.
