Priming and mounting the Klingons

I received the latest addition to my fleets from shapeways yesterday

And to get them table ready the next step is to prime them. I use a silvery primer in a spray can to do many models at once.

I spray them all from about a foot away on one side then thirty minutes later I come back and flip them over to do the other side. The result is this:

I really like starting with this base to move forward to painting.

I have been working on perfecting the flight stand bases that I developed based on Corsec engineering’s OmniStand. Part of that is a magnetic component and what I think is the easiest way to attach something to a miniature for magnetic mounting.

Those are just small metal washers or portions of washers as size permits. And they work well to that end. I just use cyanoacrylate or superglue to glue the washer to the miniature and let it sit. I did that prior to leaving for work and will revisit it today when I get home… I’m a little worried that the Klingon Neg’var is too heavy at 1:7000 to be mounted this way but we will see.

    I’ve mounted some fairly large ships using the washer and magnet method with Corsec Omnistands and they’ve worked fine.

      Once the washer set it sat fine mounted to a 2 inch base
