Drastic measures, what was wrong with them for this level of correction?

The model was started years ago by a friend of mine, who painted it and refused to finish it.
The colors aren't correct, so I'll remove them to start over. :)

This Terminator is something like a paste - it is applied on the paint, wait 15-20 minutes and then it can be removed more easily.

I made a makeshift tub of nylon so I could immerse the whole body in the thinner to make the paint fall off more easily.
Seems like Costa Concordia :)
During this time I continue with the boats.
The technology is classic - a balsa wood block is made, then ribs and cladding with pear slats.

I removed the paint to 90%. It remained only around the nose - it is very slow and touchy, although it soaked it for 48 hours in Meglio.
In the meantime, I'm working on the boats - the base it's made of several layers of balsa wood, the ribs are 1.5 mm maple wood, which I soaked for 48 hours in water to bend without breaking:
