I use acetone free nail polish remover - dipped into a toothbrush and scrub the paint off- don't steep in the NPR it will disolve the plastic- alternativly I've used Dettol to remove paint to a lesser degree of success- the Dettol method requires steeping and won't melt your plastic miniatures- however I am not sure the effect it will have on resin- I'd recomend a google search on the subject if it is indeed resin you intend to clean up.

As for the glue-if it is a contact glue it actually melts the plastic itself welding the parts together- I think your only option here is to break the model apart being as carefull as possible not to damage the model  excessively .Then you can sand off any gluey lumps and bumpsand rebuild the model filling in any cracks you may have caused with green stuff or milliput etc If you have used super glue then there are methods of removing- I am sure that wetting and then placing the model in the freezer with break the bond and allow you to pick off the remaining glue.
