The title says it all, how do you strip paint off of models?

Thanks.

Get yourself some Fairy Powerspray. Its magic! Put your minis in an old ice cream tub or something and give them a good spraying, after 5-10 mins a light scrub with an old toothbrush aided by a toothpick or similar will get acrylic paint off no probs, it'll just slide off. I had an old IG chimera that had been painted and repainted about 7 times in a decade, there was so much paint on it the details that the rivets were just vague bumps on the tank's surface, a bit of powerspray and some scrubbing and i got most of the paint off and could see grey plastic again. Thats a pretty extreme case i think, if theres only 1 or 2 coats you'll be able to strip it no bother. Dunno how it works on enamel paints but its pretty powerful stuff. I'd advise wearing gloves!
