Has anyone used simple green to strip their models?

As above. I'm concerned about the plastic used for the minis and want to make sure the mini won't die horribly with the paint.

I used it with no issues on the repair  droid i let us soak for a day or two and the paint came right off

Great thanks for the response

Alternatively, may I suggest Alcohol and Acoustics? I have not experienced great success with Simple Green, maybe I'm doing something not quite right but a week of soaking didn't remove my own bad paintjob...

I have, but I found that alcohol-based gel hand sanitizer worked better for me.

I've used Simple Green for all my old Warhammer Minis and it works great. You just have to let it set for a day+ then scrub. It takes some time and a bit of work, but is totally safe for any mini. I'd be careful with Alcohol though as it has a very short working time before it starts to destroy the plastic. I've lost a mini in alcohol in as little as 8 hours. great for Metal, just beware on plastic.

Watered down simple green, set for a day, and scrub with an old toothbrush. Worked for me.
