Hello all!

So, after starting my new eldar from scratch, I can't justify spending so much money on dire avengers, and am thinking of using my old ones, which are caked in paint ( :( )

So, anyone know of a good way to strip paint from plastic models?


Cheers

Pine Sol for metal. Simple Green for plastic. Let em both soak for about 12-48 hours. Plastic models may soften up with simple green but will melt with pine sol.

Cilit Bang works but you have to keep an eye as it can make the plastic go soggy, also heard some people use dettol I have used it on resin but not plastic myself.

If you can find someone who sells it Simple Green, I bought some from a UK distributor ages ago (found them online) it was quite expensive but cheaper than new models.

Hope this helps some and you need an old or new toothbrush.

Yeah, I noticed that one was for metal specifically, so I made this thread

I might try out the simple green or cilit bang, cheers
