Paint part one: Priming
Paint part one: Priming
I’ve never painted something this large before, so I needed ways to save time.
making the bulk of it stone was an obvious move – easy to do with rattlecans.
early in lockdown, GW stopped deliveries and it meant that cans of GW primer were going for silly money on eBay.
Instead, I bought much cheaper black, white and grey car primers from Halfords. I find them too grainy to consider using on miniatures – but they are perfect for scenery.
- Turn the model upside down and spray black – getting all undersides caught and covered.
- Turn the model the right way up and spray thoroughly with grey at a 45 degree angle. You want good coverage.
- spray again with white at a 99 degree vertical to dust directly from above. I also spot sprayed a few areas of the floor to very the stone colour.
