    The first thing you should do to any resin models is wash them and let them soak in washing up liquid water. I use an old tooth brush to get into corners. This ensures that any mold release agent is removed. It will prevent your primer from getting hold of the model if left on. Then once dry, you can't do better than follow the advice Dobbs has just posted.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Aww, jeez, I knew that and I still didn't do it! Well, here's hoping my primer choice is as good as I said...

    While many of you seem to be producing replicas of Mediterranean and Caribbean fortifications, I'm going to be taking by cues from Prince of Wales Fort in Manitoba, Canada and other North American sites:
