Let's imagine that you have some Shermans in 15mm that you intend to use for the Northern European Theater in WWII. What color do you prime them? * white * gray * black * olive drab etc. |

White. I prime everything in white. |

Grey, most recently, so I can see the base coat of SCC15+Black – not so easy to see against my usual black undercoat. |

Olive drab, saves a lot of time. |

Spray olive drab, follow with a brown wash, dry brush some mud, and you're done! |

Olive drab. 90% of the painting done right there. |

Black, then mist it with white spray from about 2 feet up. It ends up light grey on the highlights and black in the lowlights. Same as I do all my vehicles and figures. |

White – it makes the colors more vibrant. |

If you have ever been around tanks and armored vehicles you know that after a few hours all is covered in either mud or dust. |
David Manley  | 22 Nov 2021 11:46 p.m. PST |
