Retarded question from a beginner.
What exactly is priming and why or why not should you do it? I've heard about it a lot in the context of paining minis, but never so much with scale models. Is it just a fancy term for applying a base layer of a solid color, or is there actually anything special about it chemically that makes paining subsequent layers easier?
I'm going to build my first model soon and want to know what I need to buy.
>>10666680Funny you mention it. I'm planning to try building my first model some time next month and was heavily considering making picrel my first build. Though I'll probably go for a matte grey, don't want to make the painting too complicated while I have zero experience.
I don't even know if that is historically accurate, but I don't want to be too autistic about it just yet
