MoonMonkey Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I use Humbrol spray acrylic primer for Modelu / Hardys figures. Plus some ones from a company which isn't trading anymore. It worked fine for me. FYI, I then painted using Humbrol acrylic paints, and perhaps a very thin wash of watered down Humbrol black acrylic afterwards. Then finished off with Humbrol spray matt acrylic varnish. I think they came out ok. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Agatha Christie, perhaps? the figures look very natural. A win, I think! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Chas Levin Posted November 8, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2021 Agreed, superb figures MoonMonkey! I use Halfords Plastic Primer on ModelU and similar, no issues as yet. I'm not sure how well it would withstand flexing though, so I tend to be careful not to flex the finished figures, but I'm working in 4mm so it's not too much of an issue... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
