So due to Corona, there is a certain lack of things like a primer. Especially if you’re like me and swear on GamesWorkshops spray can primers.

I tried a load of other primers form several brands and did not find one acceptable to me. However, there is the Mecha Color Range from Vallejo.

And they do make special primers for the Airbrush for this range, which are available on the big A. So a when I ran out of my stash of cans I did start using this, and I’m more than happy. In fact, I’m so happy I’m pretty much switching to this primer. However I do not recommend the usual air primer or the spray cans from Vallejo, but the Mecha Color Primer is fantastic.

 

So have a look at the pictures of the build and primed minis, which took me about 2-3 hours total plus the curing times. Always let glued minis settle, and also always (!) give a primed mini cure for at least a day before you start painting it.
