I tried to paint strip an assault marine with the stuff I use for metal ones, but it went all puffy. I have previously tried filig back lumpy paint, but it is a bit hit and miss. Is there anything out there that can easily paint-strip plastic miniatures?

Use Dettol.

Fairy Power Cleaner, iirc.

Have a look at this:

Super clean engine degreaser has always worked for me

Original Dettol.

Soak for about a day, scrub paint off with a toothbrush, rinse with soapy water.

Job's a good'un!

Thanks, I'll give it a go!
