When is the right time to attach the rider to the horse? * before priming * after painting * after basing and flocking etc.

Before priming (if you prime) … Phil

Before priming

I often prime and paint them separately, then glue them after they are painted.
Extra Crispy	11 Jun 2016 9:23 p.m. PST
Not before the third date.
Oberlindes Sol LIC	11 Jun 2016 11:10 p.m. PST
Extra Crispy for the win.

Extra Crispy +1. Ha,ha.

Extra Crispy does it again! LMAO! I prime and paint the rider separately and attach to horse after I've "magic" washed both figures. I use a hobby knife to scrape off the paint at the area where I'll be gluing them together to get a good bond. After attaching them I do my Dullcote spraying.

Before undercoating – pin and glue, paint as a single entity.

After painting. May not be the best but that is how I roll.

All of the above. I put the rider on the horse, spray prime, paint rider, remove rider, paint horse (leaving the spot where the rider was glued unpainted), glue rider to unpainted spot.
