What do you base your models with?

I use PVA glue to attach fine sand stolen from a local playground. Works for me. But there are countless options...

Ohhh. I use GW classic chaos black spray. It's all I've ever used, so I'm afraid to try something else...

cool! I am afraid the black base will be to dark so I was going with Armoury Grey Primer

I'm hoping it works well on resin

How did you get on with the Armoury stuff? I've only ever had bad experiences with that brand. I find it very finicky with the humidity we get in the warmer months here.

I use Duplicolor Sandable Primer matt black or white which I get from the auto store, I swear by the stuff!

I've understood the sandable auto primer is a little thick and can obscure details, but, if you have good results with it, then keep using it.

I've almost always used the cheapest can of flat black I can find from Wal-Mart.

Vallejo spray-on airbrush primer is the best, though, that I've ever used.

I use Krylon ColorMaster white primer from Hobby Lobby or Michael's (if you're in the States). Lots of light coats rather than a single heavy one. Also use an old toothbrush to knock off any fuzz before painting - all works like a charm IMO.

It has worked well up until this weekend when priming tanks for Flames of war it kind of "pebbled" leaving a very rough surface
