Mr. Surfacer 1000 primer on 28mm miniatures

I always prime my models using Nippon flat white spray paint or 'Red fox' flat black acrylic spray paint. Problem encountered using these 2 budget spray paints are I had a hard time painting on my base coat. I solved the problem by using thicker and more coats for my base coat which result in the models looking quite thick with paint even before I start with other colours.

I never believe in using primer paints for 28mm miniatures since they are quite small, any model casting imperfections can be easily painted over or repair using green stuff. I always think primers are use for finding errors (holes/improper sanded mold lines etc...), covering the errors and undercoat, for bigger models. Also primer paints sold by miniature companies are very expensive...

Anyway I went reading about primers again and found it helps in paint adhesive. So I decided to try priming some of my GW miniatures with primer paint I have which are intended for gundam models.























Bottom:
Mr. surfacer 1000 (bottle version)
Centre:
Mr. Retarder mild, added into thinner+paint mixture to prevent it from drying too fast when the paint leave the airbrush.
Right:
Mr Color Thinner 400mL. Lacquer based thinner, for lacquer based paints like the Mr. color series.



Below are some of the minis I primed using Mr. Surfacer 1000, consist of metal and plastic minis.

Skaven Globerdier (metal)

Right: Primed Ork slugga (both plastic) Left: Un-prime Ork slugga

Chaos termi ( plastic)

Kaya's pet (metal)


Will update again with pictures of the skaven globerdier once I paint him up. Hope I can get some decent shots of the painted model...
