Re: What's on your workbench?
is the batch that is particularly bad if any moisture is trapped under a longer, sort of horse sized, figure base ?

Any bases really... But the larger the base the larger the risk...

It’s possible the rust might cause lead oxidisation in some of the finer details as well. Always safest to repaint things such as lace I reckon

Best strip the whole figure, treat with anti-oxidisation cream and repaint...

Re: What's on your workbench?
I moved my workbench into the garden and am currently cleaning up and undercoating lots of figures.
In keeping with my dilettante pre-disposition it’s an entirely different period from the six cluttering up the paint table

I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Re: What's on your workbench?
I think that was in response to customers writing in to say how they always had to scrape the black coating off in order to get figures to stick to the base (and any terraining material). It cost him just as much to spray one side as both, so he decided it was easier to spray neither and let the customer do it.goat major wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 12:04 pm Yeh they are nice. Shame he doesn’t undercoat them any more but that’s only a minor quibble

I don’t mind a quick squirt on them in my little priming booth.
It’s way more fun than the rets of the basing process !

Re: What's on your workbench?
I'm not sure I want to know about your preferred primer.
