With all the parts finished it's finally time to prime them all for painting.
 |
| Except those antennas. And the hands. |
My primer of choice is Krylon's flat grey spray primer. It's easy to find at most hobby or hardware stores and dries enough to handle in about 10-15 minutes.
 |
| Don't spray prime on or next to anything you want to keep, such as the hood of your car. |
The primer provides a surface for acrylic paint to adhere to strongly and consistently, as it easily chips off otherwise. I use grey as a compromise between white (which enhances bright colors) and black (which provides a well-shaded undercoat).
And there you have it! It's done!
 |
| Behold its flat grey majesty. |
Actually it's not done, still a few places that are too rough or uneven that need to be sanded and given another coat of primer.
 |
| Or maybe I could pass it off as a White Dingo Squadron GM and call it a day. |
I'll have another pass at priming shortly. After that and I'll need to take a break to practice with my new airbrush before tackling the GM Cannon.
 |
| No it's still not done yet. I'll tell you when it is done. |
