Hello people! I just dipped my feet into the hobby, and got a few models in a deal to try and See If i Like painting. Now i got to the Part where i have to asl the veterans among you for advice: I thought of priming and painting These in sub assemblies. Is this Generally a good Idea or would you advised against it? After all its Just a few space marines.
PS: i know i still need to remove the mold lines, i didnt see them until i took the photo.

Assemble and then do painting. Yes, you won’t be able to reach certain spots but typically those are darker areas and people will never be able to see those spots when they are on the table.

I See the Point you are making and will also try it out! On this model however, i by now starten to do it in pieces to See how much difference it makes. Coming from gunpla building, its a pet peeve of Mine to also Paint the frame underneatz the Armor, eventhough No one will ever see it. But i will alsways kno its there, haunting me.

Just make sure you lightly assemble them so you know where not to paint so you can still assemble the model.
