I have plenty of marines to make a good start although some conversion work is needed, the biggest challenge however was that my models are all painted up and I want to strip them of their paint job and get a nice clean model to start over again. On the internet you can find loads of topics on this so I started reading about brake fluid,nailpolish remover and all sorts of cleaning liquids. The problem was most of the named brands weren´t available here in the Netherlands. I did find one topic in dutch on a product I know they sell in my local supermarket, it is called `Blue Wonder`. The name on itself sounds very promising so I bought a bottle and tried it on 5 SM Terminators from the assault on black reach set.
So this is how I did it:
I started off with a test batch and decided my AoBR terminators would be the best to try it on. They have the best armour ,right? no seriously, I think they won't be used much in my future BA lists so I might as well try this product on them and don't have to worry about Melting space marines..

I just put the terminators in the plastic cup and added just enough of "Blue Wonder" to drown them all. I then let them soak for about 24 hours and got a toothbrush to brush the old paint job off. And it worked! A lot of the paint did come off effortless and only the layer of primer stayed on the model. Only in some areas where I used foundation paint and where the paint filled in narrow gaps it was a bit harder to get everything off. I put them back in the "Blue Wonder" for another day and then picked off most paint with a toothpick to reveal the smallest details. However not all of the paint cam off but it is certainly good enough to paint over again, just don't expect Golden Daemon level.
