Stripping Plastic Figures

[Stuart]

i have seen a few sites that say pine green (a surface cleaner in america) is great for stripping metal minis, but haven't been able to get hold of any over here, would you say dettol is the same sort of thing? i have a few minis that could really do with a recoat

Yeah, I saw mention of that product too. Dettol certainly seemed to do the trick - did another metal figure last night and it came up really well. One thing I've found is that straight after the Dettol treatment it's probably best to pick off the loose flakes of paint with a sharp point rather than scrubbing with a toothbrush, as the latter can smudge paint over the model again.
