Nice videos, but with extremely finger close-ups, you might want to consider a manicure before the cameras roll again! ;-)

That depends on how you prime your model. If you just paint a black paint over the metal it is likely to flake or rub off. The best way to prime a model is to spray it with a matt black car primer. Also some people like to wash their figures before this to get rid of any excess release agent.

@ArtmasterStudioTV i usually use a black, matt, enamel paint, airfix i think, and i mix that with a little bit of white spirit and wash it over, i find that is quite a good undercoat :)

before painting the black primer do you use anything on the model to make sure the black coat stays on? Everytime I paint using Tamiya Paints when I put a layer of paint over the black the paint sloughs off in certain areas.

firstly dont use tamiya paints they suck and secondly some models have a mold release over them which stops paint from sticking to them. Hope this helps.

@thehalo3king Yeah the Mould release Sucks When I forget to Wash my models in Soap.
