Stripping paint

[The Tomato]

Right now im able to get my hands on an old Genestealer, with pieces from it and my spare bits i could bonvert a Zoanthrope, Lictor and give my other warrior rending.

The problem is that its completely covered in a thick layer of paint and applying even more would ruin the last detail still visible on it.

Therefore my question is: Is there any good way to remove the paint from the miniature without ruining it?

Still, no worries?

if you can get your hands on some of this:

I find that it works very well to strip standard acrylic paints off of models without damaging the plastic model.

plop it in, leave it for a couple days, then come back with toothbrush and warm water.

cheers!

Thats great, ill have to see if those are sold in Sweden. It's GW paint i might add, no worries there.

Supertomato, PLEASE tell me, why do you always wright "Still, no worries?" in all of your messages!? Don't get me wrong, It's not that I find it annoying and I'm asking you to stop, I just want to know; why??

Strioogi: This is a little off topic, but are the foundation paints good? I havnt tried them yet, as none suit my colour sceme.

Im curious about those paints as well, iv'e heard that they are very good

Still, no worries?

I use 91% Isyprol Alchohol, like the stuff in med section. It generally removes anything from anything.

There's this wonderful substance that comes in a spray can called MessMaster... it'll remove anything with paint down to basic components, and is great for glue goo from anything.

Keanna: ok, ill make sure to check that up.( Edit: are you sure its not Isopropyl alcohol?)

Striogi: sadly the greenline articles is not avalible (is this spelling correct?) in Sweden unleas i join the army

Still, no worries?

Yes the GW Foundations paints are very good...they have very high pigment content and a special bonding agent that helps them adhere to the model better (over primer of course).

I dissagree with that post.

TBH, looking at the resaults from the 1 red I bought, I'd say all they did was put ink in the paint instead of water (I'm bassing it off the fact it leaves a shiney coat and doesn't seem to cover much better than normal paint..)

If you want to strip paint.
Try "Mr. Muscle Kitchen" some one found out that it was the same as simple green...

[The Tomato]

Would that work? i would just have to walk a kilometer and buy that right away.

Thank you executioner. Still, no worries?
