Ok. I bought the Pegasus Vermithrax Perjorative Dragon kit to do up as a sort of "thank you" to our roommate for all her help with the house, but I've NEVER worked on a monster or person kit and am stumped.

I have washed all the vinyl and plastic pieces with warm soapy water and have allowed them to dry. That is as far as I've gotten.

1: Do I assemble the model first BEFORE priming and painting?

2: I have a 2-part epoxy I plan to use for gluing. What putty should I use to seal up all the gaps?

3: If I build this thing before painting it, how on earth am I going to get primer inside the tight body places like the "armpits", leg joints, etc?

4: Not just primer, how am I going to DETAIL PAINT the same tight areas without using an airbrush, of which I do NOT own and have NEVER used before?

Ideas?

Put it together first,...

Then filler, then prime and paint,...

It'll take some brush painting funkyness, but nothing figure painters haven't been doing 4ever

Paint all your solid colours first, then washes, then highlights

Very cool figure by the way

Good Luck

Cheers
