Some really great info here. Wish I’d had this video a few years ago when I first started using Bones minis. Sometimes for basing, I’ll leave the broccoli base, glue the figure to a plastic base, and then build up the base surface with some of that Vallejo texture paste. Fender washers also make great round bases for bones and give the figures some weight. For priming, unthinned craft paint works amazingly well. My go to is Americana lamp black. Spray primers that are labeled automotive wet sandable work great on bones materials and don’t stay sticky. My go to is Rustoleum light gray primer. If you do end up with sticky, a thin coat of Rustoelum Frosted Glass can often fix that sticky for good. Thank you for posting and I hope that you and yours are doing well during this pandemic.
Stynylrez does make good primers, my major issue with them is getting them in Canada, since there are few retailers that carry them in general, additionally because they are sensitive to temperature there are large swathes of the year that you cannot get them or they arrive ruined.
Good vid man. Answered my bones question and the basing tip was unexpected. I have a couple of Jungle Titans and they do need to be rebased
Glad I could help

I am glad other people thought this video would be useful.
That is definitely some good advice in your comment.
Thanks for the tips on glueing and basing, it helped a lot.
Glad to be helpful 😊
I'm going to pain my first Reaper Bones minis soon. Thanks for this video!
Glad it could help 🙂
Personally I like using e6000 to adhere the minis to bases. Works great for plastic bases as well as metal (for those of us who use fender washers)
I hate to say it, but the shocking never seems to work enough.
Большое спасибо за видео! Из России, с любовью :)
