The great undercoat disaster part 1

Somber news from the Amber Valley.

I'm 27 models into assembly, and after seeing Steve's speedy painting of his Alpha Legion I thought I'd better show willing and put brush to plastic.

Long story short, and due to the combo of crappy weather and only having the dregs of a can of white spray available I am  left with a case of the dreaded Orange Peel primer syndrome.

Early indications are that they'll all be saveable, but it'll take time to sort it out.

I've brush primered one already and he looks great, but I might try to overspray the other 26 to save time, or maybe I'll just tough it out to make sure it works.

Typical that in 30 some years of painting that this is only the second time this has ever happened to me

Still never mind,  I've also worked out  and tested some yellow recipes but still not decided how to proceed.

More soon stay happy people
