Adding Texture.

Sealing the texture.

I usually like to add texture to bases before I’ve primed the model as it helps it not to come loose and means less work later on as the base is ready primed to be painted.

To make the texture really solid I seal it with thinned down pva glue and just a tiny amount of washing up liquid as a flow improver. I thinned the glue just enough to flow off the brush when I dab it on so it won’t lift off the texture. Once it’s dried it’s pretty solid.

Unsightly Gap

An example of my best sculpting.

I use green stuff to fill any large gaps on multipart kits, particularly if there’s no reason for a gap in the context for the model. I don’t do this or all gaps, generally I only do this when it will look bad when painted.

Prime Time

I usually use Citadel or Army Painter spray primer but I’ve heard really good thinks with Halford’s so I thought I’d try it, particularly as I live fairly close to a store.

I’m pretty happy with the results, it goes on smooth, has a nice matt finish, and is about a third cheaper than the others.

That’s all of the models primed. I’m loving these models, particularly the plastic barbarians kit. The detail is really good and there are so many variations.

Now the real work begins, the painting.
