I heard about this product recently and when I stumbled across it in a shop in Central London, I thought I’d get some to review for Tale of Painters. Vallejo Surface Primer is an undercoat paint. The one I’m reviewing is in a 200ml bottle...

I’ve been working late all week (any one would think my name is Stahly – lol), so work has been slow going on the Spider. I have finished the flesh and painted the claws. Sigur asked me if I would be adding a contrasting colour,...
