First thing you want to do is pick your colors and primer the figure i us waterbase colors amd primer so it can get in all the crakes so i have none of the figure showing.
Second lay down your base cout i know its teadious but with the primer it should stay there and get into all the noks and crannys.
Third move your figure around and place it on its head if you can to dry the underbelly after you out the first set of details down
