well my attempt at priming my Yuki has failed, looking into why.3 possible reasons:
1.need the mr hobby base white 1000 spray can rather than using it thro the air brush.
2.Need a good brand airbrush like iwata
or
3.somethign else, lol.
gunna strip em and start again, heres some pics to show how bad it turned out:
There's two way that I use to prime my resins.
Firstly (the "common" way) is to use Mr Surfacer 1000, then cover that with Mr White Base. If you're goign to AB the primer, then thin it to about 40%, put about 40-50 pounds of air behind it (if your AB can take it), and go full air with only a little flow (if you've got a dual action), from about 20-30 cm. I find that when I'm doing things like this (be it colour or primer) that it's good to hold the AB behind your ear. That way you can keep a close eye on the flowrate etc at the figure end.
The second is to use a primer spray, like Tamaya's Fine Surface Primer (Plastic/Metal). I use this most of the time, as you can get primers that are also white undercoat, which makes life easier. I like the Tamaya becuase it also has a nice finish for using clear/semi-clear flesh tones on.
Although the primer you've got in this post doesn't seem too bad.
I'm not sure where you are with this fig (been away for a week or so), I'm willing to help you out if you want. Also, make sure you have some pearlescent particles for the hotpants... she definately needs it :>
I have a few kits with pesudo step-by-step details on the windfs site;

You should also try "spiking" (or pinning) your resins, it makes them much easier to handle and also helps in assembly.
