Todays goal was to get the dragon model primed. Normally I prime my figures using an air brush. However, due to the size of this figure, using spray paint from a rattle can made more sense, both from an economical and a time saving perspective. I use Krylon Paint + Primer satin black as my preferred paint for this sort of thing.
Using a spray can requires taking the model outside to spray it, so I don't fill the house with paint fumes. Fortunately the weather was conducive to that - thats not always the case during winter here in North Carolina.m. High 50s, and dry.
It took me all afternoon to get the models painted - spray part of it, literally wait for paint to dry, move it, spray another section, rinse-repeat. I waited an hour between sprays, and an hour before bringing the model back inside. I am now letting it sit overnight to ensure the paint+primer hardens properly.
