Tyranids Models
How do you strip paint from plastic Warhammer models?
Okay, so my boyfriend and I are into Warhammer, him with the building and me with the painting, and I'd like to redo the paint job for his Tyranids. He's done at least two primer jobs and two paint jobs on each model so the paint's filled in the fine detail areas. Most of them are plastic, and some of them are metal. How do I strip the paint from the models without ruining them since he loves them so much?
Phoenix Precision Paints does a product call SuperStrip that's especially formulated for the removal of paint from plastic models. They're UK-based.
If you're in the US, then there's a product called "Simple Green" that's intended as a heavy-duty de-greaser for engine parts which serves very well: leave to soak overnight and brush away with a soft toothbrush the next morning.
Alternatively, you can apparently use brake fluid. I looked into this a while ago, though, and couldn't work out which of the thousand different types of brake fluid I was supposed to use.
