Do-Overs, stripping old models

[raceygaming]

Hey, I have some old Ogre models that were quickly and poorly painted in some of my first goes. I was wondering if people had a technique for stripping paint off both the old Pewer models or Plastic models. As I think I will need to totally re-prime the models and start over from base layering.

I am not so worried about the glue dissolving as that is an easy fix to do some regluing with Ogres but I am worried about chemicals damaging the plastic models details.

I was just wondering if there is easy way to do it as they are still prefectly good models.

Any help, tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

soak them in a container with simple green (Canadian Tire and Home Hardware carry this product) for a couple of days, ensure the model is submerged into the simple green...

scrub it with an old toothbrush... paint comes right off, right down to the primer... doesn't damage the plastic at all

rinse them off with water and let dry before you re-prime them though

one of the first things I done is to ask my safe what live of detail am I real go for in these models .If the paint on the model is thin layer to just to read do then I go of that
