For anyone new to stripping minis, be aware that with methylated spirits and acetone/isopropyl alcohol at least, breathing in the fumes can be pretty nasty. So a facemask or respirator is recommended. Like the hand sanitiser, the last 2 years have probably provided most of us with some supply of respiratory PPE. As to the speeder, all you are missing is the little metal bannerpole for the back. I've owned a few of these speeders in my time and those bannerpoles are the first things that go missing.

I picked up a couple of squads of craigslist rescue cadians a couple years back- caked on paint. I tried all of the US usual suspects, LA's Totally Awesome, Simple Green, the purple stuff, soaked for weeks straight. Nothing worked. I finally broke down and picked up an el cheapo ultrasonic cleaner. Half an hour in that with any of the aforementioned chemicals and plastic minis come out as gray as new. Plus it does wonders keeping my airbrush clean.

I love biostrip, I have found it for just over £10, and it lasts absolutely ages, the last tub I had cleaned 4 copies of space crusade, one advanced space crusade, 3 heroquests, about 100 rtb01 beakies, and an Armorcast Reaver Titan, and a pair of Warhounds. Absolute bargain really, I just jab it on with a big stiff paintbrush, like stippling, leave it 20 mins, then scrub with a brush quickly, before just running water over it, and its pretty much always perfect.

I used SuperClean in an ultrasonic machine to great effect on over 400 "rescued" miniatures. It strips plastic and metal miniatures of anything I’ve come across (enamels, acrylics, oils, and even outdoor rust resistant spray paint). SuperClean is an automotive, degreaser and foaming cleaning solution. According to regulatory compliance filings, the product is biodegradable, but toxic and mildly corrosive. Do not ingest, and skin contact should be minimized or avoided entirely. Waste or unused solution, and the container, should be disposed of properly. A 1 gallon/4 liter jug costs about $20. Definitely try the "trade" products in your local market.

2 more UK products that I used almost daily are Elbow Grease from Home Bargains and Bartoline TX10 Paint & Varnish Stripper from the Range, both are cheap and can be reused on many minis. Only downside is they can affect Resin minis and make them soft if you leave them in too long. The Paint & Varnish Stripper is also quite good and helping to weaken any joints held together using Plastic glues if left long enough.

For those worried about leaving models in meths, I've left plastic models in meths for weeks and weeks with no issues. Likewise metal has no issues being left in meths. Resin does, in my experience, soften a little if left for ages in meths. Not enough to loose/damage detail, but enough to make thin pieces go very bendy

A word of note on Biostrip 2.0. It lifts like a power house and wont effect most polystyrene miniatures but it will eat the surface of some plastics so limited working time is advised. Also prolonged exposure will cause your skin to peal for 3 - 5 days afterwards so wear gloves. P.s. it will also eat nitrite gloves so have some replacements handy and dont mix with water.

Then suffer endlessly, being drip fed meagre tid bits as you strived to learn more, because there was no internet, and you lived in the arse end of the world where NOTHING was ever available, but you marvelled over what ever morsels you could find. In today’s times of plenty, things are just that much less interesting, and intrinsically have lesser value for it.

@Wijkert 8 ай бұрын

I use Dettol for a specific reason and that's when a metal mini can't be cleaned (completely) with acetone. I think it works well on paints that are enamel based. It is horrible goopy like you said, so only as a last resort. A strong degreaser can remove the goop well. I have re-used it on many many mini's without it loosing it strength,, so I think you understated the reusability a little. The reason it can reused so often is because it doesn't dissolve the paint.

@Bunyip_Studios 2 жыл бұрын

B&Qs own brand paint stripper is the same as Bio but at a third of the price, is safe on most minis, even resin in 5-10 min dips. Its also completely reusable. Cellulose thinners is by far the quickest way to strip metal minis, takes seconds, not minutes

If you head to wilkos their paint stripper is ace, meant to be similar to biostrip. But a good chunk cheaper, I have done plastic and some resin in it and all was good for me. And acetone for metal is a go to for me as it melts the super glue which is normally handy

That Biostrip stuff looks very similar to the Wilko's "all purpose paint & varnish stripper", the one I got was a 500ml bottle and cost a couple of quid and it did a pretty good job of shifting paint off models after I tested it. I think they did a larger bucket of it at my local store, but it's been a while since I looked to be fair. I'm still down in the dumps that they changed the recipe of Fairy Power Spray, that stuff was absolute magic at getting plastic and metal figures stripped clean. The paint literally would loosen and wrinkle right off in the jar in an hour or two, you'd be pulling practically clean models out and just brushing off the bits caught in the nooks. I wonder what it was in the older recipe that did the work so well. And as much as I think it's the ugly duckling in the Landspeeder family, you did an awesome job there mate. Thanks for another great entertaining video, take care ;)

Mix the Dettol 50/50 with water, leave over night submersed in the dettol, next day old toothbrush and under the tap, when clean drop it in meths to rid yourself of the oily feeling. As Dettol does not affect plastics. It's brilliant removeing enamels. Acrylics use Meths and agin leave for a few hours. The only thing I have found that removes super glue is industrial stripper, ONLY USE ON WHITE METAL, if in doubt Dettol. After you've finished an empty jar a funnel and cofee filter papers, pour in and leave it to soak through, pour it back in the bottle.

I've used a bit of 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (got it for cheap at the grocery) to strip a resin model (as well as some cheapo toy models that stayed tacky forever after priming). The results were mixed. The thickest layers came off the resin model, but other layers remained stubbornly in place even after multiple days soaking. I might have needed to let it soak for a week, idk. It got cleaned up enough that I could prime it again and give it a new paint job. (Ironically, the new paint scheme was not too dissimilar to the old one. I was just adamant about painting it myself, and to my exact specifications.)

The joy of Detol is that it that it's pretty harmless to plastic, even the pretty fragile stuff. I used to prefer Nitromorz for the metals but; a) I probably lowered my IQ by about 30 points by inhaling the fumes, b) you have to wear gloves, and C) they changed the recipe, so now it kinda sucks for stripping minis. Nowadays I just use Detol because it's so easy to get... +Strength Nail Polish remover if there's still tough paint left in the crevices (and the mini won't melt from it). I assembled and painted the Guard version of that Land Speeder a few years ago... It's not too bad if you're into Pinning with chunky brass rod. It's attached to the base via a chipped Drill-bit because the weight was a bit much for a plastic rod. Got a SM one somewhere that I'll have to look out... some day.

Probably the most powerful solution for cleaning both metal and plastic miniatures (warning: I do NOT know what it does to resin/UV resin) is brake fluid. I heard about it many years ago but only used it for the first time last year, and hell yes it works. It really works. It will not damage plastic or metal, but it is of course nasty, toxic, poisonous stuff and you have to do the whole gloves and eye protection thing, and also clean off any residue. Mostly I use either 99% ethanol or 99% IPA to strip miniatures - I get both for free (IPA and ethanol I mean, not miniatures). I think it was Ninjon (I think) who mentioned some sort of IPA mix with windscreen cleaner.. I'd like to know what he is using because I've never tried it. I've still got some Bio-Strip 20 in the garage. I don't like it much; it _does_ work, but it's very gloopy. Oh, and if you buy it in a 5 litre container like I did, check on the container once in a while because it will expand and potentially burst!
