Thanks, guys!

Wanting to start back at square 1. 😝 😁

Watch this:

Or get a cheap ultrasonic cleaner with alcohol.

And have fun!

I'm assuming this means that you (like me) are finally able to do better than you were when you started as a painter. Way to go!

This would be my recommendation. Here's my thread on it with some pictures of stripped minis:

For us who are afraid of making a hole on the space-time by using "ultrasonic things" and "mysterious potions", a 15 minutes dive into alcohol plus an old toothbrush is enough. Maybe the model keeps some colour or looks washed, but repainting it works well.

Revell Aqua Color Clean. Bathe your mini in it for ca. Half an hour, then remove the paint with an old toothbrush. Original, factory paint should remain unharmed.

I’m trying some Super Clean. Have it on my Walmart pickup. Let you guys know how it goes.

Used Super Clean! I recommend it. Works fabulous. I was stripping some TIE repaints. Left them submerged for 3-4 hours and then brushed them clean in water with a toothbrush.

Interesting observation: I stripped 5 ties. 3 were the old OG TIES, the original 2 in the starter box and the OG TIE expansion. The other two were from the 2.0 starter box (or Gozanti, not sure, but later models).

The older ones stripped down to plastic, but the newer ones just stripped down to the factory paint. So apparently the later models have tougher paint. 🤷‍♂️

Heheh. Already had the Decimator painted. Supposed to be stylized after a 1940s police car. It’s all high gloss so it looks like car paint. Light flashes. 😜

Wanted my mini swarm to match.... 😁

Bad boys bad boys...
