I've got my figures partly painted when my Vallejo's showed up so now I want to strip the paint and start over. Whats the best way to do it wiyhout their arms & heads falling off?

I have used caustic soda diluted with cool water several times without any problems. Dilute the soda well and leave the figures in the solution for a while. Lift out using something other than your fingers and wipe gently with an old toothbrush. If nothing happens leave for a while agin. Test and add some more soda carefully. Paint should almost fall off. Dont add too much soda or it will heat up and warp your figures. Try 1 soda to 10 water mix.

Use gloves and eye protection. This stuff is deadly!

Easy Off oven cleaner won't harm anything and the paint will come right off after a few minutes......use and toothbrush gently to help get it out of the creases.....also use rubber gloves to protect your hands. I use this method for stripping anything.....doesn't even effect clear parts.

Thanks guys

Komet and the old plasticbag trick ought to do it very well...

Works great on chromed parts... yeah, yeah, yeah I build cars...

you can lightly brush the figures with brake fluid (brake hydraulic) to remover the paint..easy and cheap way

What is the old Komet in the plastic bag trick? In our neck of the woods I think its spelled COMET?
