Thanks

Got my 3 main sections trimmed and primed, trimmed out all the detail parts today. It took me about 3 hours to do that. Now I need to do a bit of sanding and a tiny bit of putty on the main body. I'll snap a pic when I have all the primed parts put together. Then she'll be ready to decorate.

The only reason you would want to prime "before" is to make sure there are no imperfections on the piece. If you prime before, you will just have to sand the connection points so the CA glue can adhere to the resin instead of the paint to create a stronger bond... or I may be talkin' out of my :booty

The only parts i remember priming before assembly were some of the seam on the body that needed putty. Everything else was primed black after assembly, maybe with 1 or 2 small exceptions. The refeer yellow i used was a spray can from Scalecoat technologies, i am lazy enough that if i don't need to break out the airbrush i don't , this like most SS models is big enough to get away with that.....
