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...

And rebase of course....

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 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.

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 !

I'm not sure I want to know about your preferred primer.
