Then the figures are attached to those spatulas and primed using the airbrush. First black -
- and then a zenithal white prime:
If you don't know, a zenithal prime is where you spray white primer down onto the figure from above, creating strong highlights and illuminating detail.
Here's another figure that shows off the zenithal prime rather better.
It also highlights the rather speckly finish I'm getting with the white primer. This is not great but it doesn't affect the finished figure. I probably need to adjust the white primer with retarder to stop it drying in mid-air before it hits the figure.
The zenithal prime makes it really easy to see the detail of the sculpts, and identifies where you need to paint highlights and lowlights.
