better way to do it:
Tupperware tub (size depending on how many models you're doing)
Fill with simple green (following directions on bottle)
Let sit for a few days.
toothbrush scrub your models under your tub or garden hose (garden hose method is more fun b/c you can tell your woman to hold the hose)
profit.
I've seen a few threads here about how to strip paint. This is an amazing tutorial (I just used it myself), and is accurate. I have noticed that this "LA's Totally Awesome" doesn't work as well as stated on very old models (I have some second edition genestealers this didn't work as well on), but some newer models with newer GW paint worked like a dream.
Also note that if your paint mixed with glue, somehow, that paint will not be coming off, no matter what you do (short of chipping the glue out). I used to paint my very old models and then glue them, so where the two mixed, the models are still stained.
