paint stripping question

[canadianone]

i know that everyone always says that simple green does the trick. But last time i listened to the internet, i got nurgle gaunts (plastic+break fluid=bad). So as someone who was never big into painting, but wants to change that with a new army, do people think that simple green could strip something like this

with out ruining it? 



Thanks for any and all help!

Absolutely, just have to be patient. I have stripped quite a few models with simple green. Just leave it in there till u see the paint wrinkle than hit it with an old toothbrush.

Ya Simple Green Works Wonders when I was repainting my Space Marines a while back I bought the undilluted Simple Green from Home depot and let it sit in a Sealed Tupperware container for  about 24-48 hours and just scrubbed it off with an old Toothbrush. I didnt get the Primer off some of them but that might be just because of the primer I used.

I was pensive about Simple Green as well until I tried it last week.  I had got some second hand Space Marines and a Dreadnought which were painted rather poorly, and after 2 nights in the Simple Green, the paint came off very easily.  Sometimes if the toothbrush doesn't work, using a small file with a pointed tip could help as well.

This is only good for metal models, so heed his advice carefully. Acetone acts as a solvent for plastics if you wanted to know why. Anyways, like everyone says in here, Simple Green is one of the more effective choices for plastic models.
