Yes we had a chat about PP plastic already but I'm considering repainting my stormwall and I've never really stripped paint before. What do y'all recommend for this kind of model and what process to make it most painless?

Simple Green soak, toothbrush, toothpick.
I used purple power on my PP plastics/metals. Soak for a couple off days, apply toothbrush done. In most mine didn't even need scrubbed the paint and primer just sloughed off and out of most details. Alot of guys swear by simple green though. It's also supposed to be friendlier on the environment, nasal passages, and hands.

Just assume anything I post here is meant in good humor and filled with obnoxious smiley emoticons ...
Internets says yes, but if it is a metal model I'd use something stronger like a thinner.
Cool, thanks.

Pinesol will do the trick on solid metal minis.

If I tell you, "You're wrong," you'll need to click this.
Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?
i've gotten some gnarly stuff off metals with break fluid but i wouldn't recommend it. it requires appropriate PPE and disposal.
I've used brake parts cleaner. Works great and fast! Only use on metal, and if you want to shorten your lifespan.
I will second pine cleaner for stripping paint from metal.
