So after a disastrous attempt at painting some Stormtroopers, I've decided to remove the paint and start again.

Usually on Games Workshop miniatures I'd soak them in Detol for a bit and then scrub them gently with a tooth brush. However FFGs miniatures use a different, softer sort of plastic, so I'm not sure how the above method will effect the miniature!

Has anyone successfully stripped FFG miniatures before? If so what technique did you use and how were the results?

If not does anyone have three spare Stormtroopers!?

I just stripped the AT-ST after doing something irreversible and dumb. I soaked mine in simple green overnight and went at it with a toothbrush with fine results.

I stripped my E-Web Engineers and one stormtrooper in brake fluid for an hour or two, then scrubbed the paint right off. No damage to any of the models.

stripped the atst with Dettol. no issues with it. let it soak for half an hour then gently scrubbed whilst still in the fluid. when it was all off gave a good wash in hot water and soap (dont use water till you got everything off, else you get that sticky residue, and dont forget gloves!)

i havnt left them overnight mind you!
