(http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/primers/family/22) This way you can control how think you want it, and you can even prime in different colors, speeding up the base coat process. All of this assumes you have an air brush.

I have just bought myself some infinity models too as a change of pace from gw and I have to say they are awesome (a bit daunted to paint them though) your model looks really good, nice and crisp lines/blending which suit infinty well. I am thinking of following your priming technique with the white then a wash. A great idea as I primarily prime in black even for the most colourful of minis. My current gw stuff uses very bright colours but I used black base as this is how I have traditionally painted all my life. Seeing how you have done yours has made me think about changing. My current project http://www.thedarkcity.net/t6097-harlequin-carnival-la-danse-macabre. Thanks for all the inspiration and advice you post up on here.

There are so many nice minis to paint out there and I personally have just found to my regret, that the more varied subjects you paint the better you become and the more techniques you learn and improve on! I only wish I had done so sooner.

I really like your results so i'm wondering if you could share some of your experience with me. For starters, i can't decide on how i should prime the miniatures. I've only painted gw stuff, this far, using gw paints, and even on those models sometimes i think i'm losing details, especially with the awful white spray primer. I live in a pretty humid city and i think this is my real problem with spray paints. Could you give me a tip? I'm actually thinking about brush on gesso primer.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220141337326072881noreply@blogger.com
