Do you mount your guys on horses to paint or do you mount the guys after both are painted?

Mount after for my 15mm

For smaller – not sure it would matter to me

I always mount then paint!

I always mount then paint. That way you're gluing metal to metal rather than paint to paint.

Mount on horses to paint after horse is painted.

Mount and paint. I paint the rider first, then the horse.

Mount and paint for all scales. I have enough junk on my table already.
