Default Wash Figures....

RavennaAl brought up something important I failed to mention,
Wash your new/unpainted figures in warm,soapy water.
You can let them soak or hit them with a little brush ( an old
tooth brush is fine).The figures have what is called a
"release agent" on them.It's simply a substance that allows
the figures to come-out ( release) from the mold easily.This
needs to be cleaned off "good",then most paints will go
on much better.It's an extra step but worth it in the scheme
of things.After awhile you won't even notice you're washing
them.It becomes second nature.
Great tip Al.Boy I missed that one.Tuff getting old.........LOL

SEMPER FI,
