In an attempt to try and stick to my challenge trying to get this initial batch painted by the weekend I decided some late night (~2200) priming was in order.

Nothing to ground breaking here, I started by roughly rubbing the back of the craft blade along the now dried filler of the sea base. This removes any loose bits and knocks down any high points.

For priming I took a departure from my usual airbrush approach and broke out the rattle cans, both for speed and thinking it might work a bit better with the filler with it drying quite quickly rather than soaking in too much.

In this case I used TT Combats V2 Black Spray Primer. Considering I did this quickly and late I’m impressed, good coverage, and a nice somewhat matt finish.
