How do you remove paint from warhammer plastic models?

I all ready ask this but it really didnt help





What can i buy from a local store something to remove the paint of the plastic warhammer models





also metal ones if you know





i whant something i can buy somewhere like wall mart or targetHow do you remove paint from warhammer plastic models?
hello matey, ok, ive dones this many times, get a nail polish remover that is acetone free,if it has acetone in it, it will make them melt. Acetone free nail polish remover is used on fake plastic nails to take the varnish off so it can be reapplied. Always test on an old base first.





I found pouring enough nail polish remover into a jam jar to cover the miniture, leave it in there until it looks like the figure has gained weight(5 min ish), when really its just the paint loosening. take out, wash in water and use a toothbrush to scrub the paint off,you may have to scrub a fair bit. wear rubber gloves nail polish remover stinks.





ive tried brake fluid, detol, allsorts,but this is the best. ive even bought miniture s on ebay, stripped them, re undercoated in black, and then resold on ebay for like 3 times the price i bought for.





also to do lead minitures use nitromoors or another brand of paint stripper used on cars or wall paint. that works a treat but will melt plastic ones. nail polish remover also works on lead ones.








im from the uk, but it should cost the same as one bottle of coke, maybe two for a bottle of nail polish remover, and you can get it in most supermarkets.





IT MUST BE ACETONE FREE!How do you remove paint from warhammer plastic models?
I have found a blowtorch to be really effective.
