My coworker gifted me a big box of old chaos space Marines. Most of them have been converted to noise marines, but they are a mix of metal and plastic, and all on 25mm bases.

Separating them from the bases is easy but what’s the general consensus on stripping minis that are combinations of plastic, plastic and metal and all metal?

I do have access to a ultrasonic cleaner, if that helps, Just curious on what products are safe for the models.

    @MetricIsRight I use Dettol. The brown stuff. Leave them to soak for a while and the paint comes right off. Might need a bit of work with a toothbrush and make sure to rinse it all off before you start painting again. Works a treat

      Dettol is super cheap here so thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely give this a whirl, how long do you usually leave them in there for? 4-6 hours or more of an overnight kinda thing?
