Simple Green.

There have been other threads about this, and some articles on the BoLS blog, but really what it comes down to is your all purpose model stripping solution, both for metals and plastics, is Simple Green.

Metals are ready to go in a few hours, plastics should usually sit in there for 24 hours before being stripped. Leave the simple green pure, don't dilute it, and just go at the mini with a stiff toothbrush.

Soft bristled brushes make the process a serious pain.

I've found for large surfaces (when we had to strip all 6 panels of the Citadel gaming table, for example) or a lot of models a nail brush works well. Usually has a little handle you can slip over your fingers so you don't have to hold on like a toothbrush and they're a little stiffer than a soft toothbrush but not so much as to hurt your models. I get them at Sally Beauty Supply for under $1 USD, a store like Wal-Mart should carry them too. A toothbrush is great if you have a couple models to strip, but if you're in for an army stripping I'd go for the nail brush to make it easier on your hands.

Very cool idea; i'll have to give that a shot cause stripping day-after-day leaves your hands felling pretty cramped.
