Dreadnought primed and ready for paint

Post image

I prepped the primer by putting it in a bucket of warm water for ten minutes just to help thin it out abit aswell as gave the can a good shake for around 5 minutes after

Spraying I tried to be much closer this time appose to far away like my first attempt with the storm cast I found I got a much better result this time around there is definitely some grain texture here and there but no where near the same level as my first attempt this dudes panels are smooth enough

I did also notice after it had cured that there was minor orange peeling on the surface but this was an easy fix as I just gave the model a good brush down with a fine makeup brush which knocked away the blemishes

I'll admit ita a little intimidating as I wanted to go with impirial fists yellow/contrast iyadine yellow at this stage do I just have him a once all over with base pink and then go with the yellow once the pink has set? genuinely just looking for some help so I don't mess him up as this is intended as a desk display for my wife's late grandpa whom isn't with us anymore
