Stripping Paint Off of Miniatures - DFC Cruiser
As I was working on my Dropfleet Commander UCM Cruisers I went through a number of different ideas for paint schemes. As it turned out, my test ship ended up with too many trial coats of paint; the details lost their crispness when compared to the other ships. I made the decision: I had to paint strip that miniature.
After 4-5 cycles (about 2-3 minutes per cycle) it was time to take a look at the ship and see how the stripping turned out. Would it remove the primer and the Vallejo Model Color paints?

I was in a hurry to finish the fleet so I decided to use my ultra-sonic cleaner and a solution of 1:1 SuperClean with water. Normally when I strip I use pure SuperClean, but I wanted to experiment with a thinned solution for this job.

Amazing! SuperClean wins the day again. There wasn't a discernible speck of paint left on the model. The plastic was stained a bit from the Armory black primer that I used, but that was fine as I was just going to re-prime it and paint the ship up again. I have since finished the three cruisers and if I didn't know already, I'd swear that it was never painted before.
