If you guys primer your models before they are completely finished, your parts aren't going to stick to the base structure. I know that's how the original was done, but they had a reason. And, there were consequences.
They primed as they went because they were making up the surface detailing as they went along. So, they had to see if it was working.
But, the end result was a large number of parts fell off! Heck, it can be difficult to get raw styrene parts to stick to plex sometimes. A coat of primer between the part and the model will not work. Even if you try to scrape it off for each part, that is a lot of extra work and seems like a PITA to me.
Just IMO. . .
