JaBears “Get off yer duff challenge” (Part 1)

I should have mentioned that if you're using lacquer thinner to strip the paint, put the body shell and the thinner into a large glass jar with a screw-on lid. That way, you shouldn't have to scrub too much or breathe the noxious vapours, either. There's a good chance that the paint will peel off of its own accord, and drop to the bottom of the jar. After removing the body shell, you should be able to pour most of the lacquer thinner back into its original all-metal can. Label the can as containing "used" thinner, as it may not be suitable for paint thinning. If left in the glass jar too long, the fumes will degrade the plastic-like seal on the jar's lid, and eventually all of the thinner will evapourate...you can imagine how I learned this.
