Soak them in Simple Green for a day. That'll loosen the paint up enough that it'll come off when scrubbed with a toothbrush.

I thought we had a topic in here on paint stripping, but I couldn't find it.

Or if you have a Pewter Model, you can soak that bad boy in some Acetone for a few hours, and BOOM! Paint Purge Pewter model.

I second that, on pewter. On plastics, I use brake cleaner and that typically removes the paint. Just don't leave it in for too long.

i have also been told that you can soak them in lemon juice for a while, it seems to make sence seing how they are a water based paint. i have also heard pops work to (just dont forget to rinse them off after)
