My preference is for a white primer (white car spray works perfectly).

I find that with 10mm figs the colour areas are quite small and a white primer helps the topcolours come through, especially the reds and yellows. If they look too garish I tone down with a light wash.

Probably the most impotant thhing with 10mm figs is that you're going for mass effect not individual perfection (unless you're Nik).

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

If I reveal the location, I'll draw in a crowd of voyeurs all competing for my favourite seat!

There was a pub near M'bro bus station back in the early 80's that had topless waitresses for a while, can't remember the name but I'm sure Dave can  ;)

I used to frequent a place in Wakefield in the 80s, it was called "Hepe's Fish and Strip", oh-errr-missus, I wonder what went on at the back of the chip shop?  ;D ;D ;D

Guess what the price of admission was?

Wakefield in the 80's?  If you were wearing your own shoes, probably free...  :D

A fish supper, and there was a bin to ditch it in just past the beaded curtain, of course the only reason for going there was the bar was open until 2am.  :P
