11/4/14- A journey of a thousand paint sessions has begun- Stage 2 Base coating.

The day has warmed up nicely & the basement tool room is warm enough
so let the spraying begin.

The Targa Plateau alternative Monsters (Snow Terrors & Ancient Spiders, )
I'm doing in a dark grey primer (& also doing the regular Void Spiders in this Primer as well)
just because I've found that white paint I'm using on these goes better over a grey primer.
The Stranglers also get this primer as I can just do a little inking for depth & highlight &
the pinkish parts around their mouths are easier with a grey prime rather than black)

I didn't find the Krylon (or Any) flat black primer for plastics at the hardware store a few blocks
from me, so fortunately my wife is out getting her nails done just down the road from a Michaels
so she'll pick me some up .

In another hour I'll need to flip the spiders over to do their
backs & check to see if the spray covered all the Snow Terrors
under parts.

The Spiders have been flipped & the Snow Terrors have their Pits taken care of
so in another hour I can put them in a plastic shoe box & send them up to my
paint room. My wife picked up the primer I need BUT she ran into friends & their
having a late lunch so she won't be home until later so spraying suspended
until she brings me the can. She just doesn't understand SoB is a priority !

Well the late lunch is into dinner territory & I've lost the natural light & my
tool room only has a single light bulb so no more priming today. Tomorrow
is suppose to be warm as well so I'll continue then. The Grey primed figs
are back up to my paint room at least.
