This way you'll remove grease - after this, try not to touch the mini on the areas you want to glue. Glue them, wait for the glue to set, and then apply the primer. Before painting on the glued area, wait some more time. And then some more time. I've destroyed a brush by trying to paint on a bit where I had placed superglue the day before (you know, the stuff that's supposed to dry in 10 seconds).Don't try to glue painted areas, you'll just glue the paint and that's useless. Also, don't rely on the primer, or on the paint, or on the varnish to somehow keep the miniature together. That's not what they are supposed to do, and they don't do it. You can also use putty if the areas to be glued are too small or irregular.For coloring, Games Workshop has very high quality products. They are also costly, but they're worth the price. Remember that paint must be thinned (just use water), if it is too thick you will lose details on the miniature. For the same reason, I avoid to paint over already-painted minis... unfortunately, paint can be a real pain to strip off (especially from plastic minis, and especially if you've varnished them... whatever you use is likely to eat the plastic as well).Uhm... while I'm here, remember to never dip the brush too deep, and never let paint set on the brush (if you're planning to use it again). Those things are costly.</blockquote>
