Re: Nova Prime WIP (Pic Heavy)

Great job so far dude! I look forward to the final completed piece!

If I may offer 3 pieces of suggestion:

1) To get sharper details, you'll probably want to clean, sand, bevel, detail all your smaller add-on pieces before gluing them together. Once they've been glued together, it ends up being increasingly difficult to do any additional cleanup or detailing work, especially if the combined parts have uneven surfaces.

2) Your priming looks really heavy, and it looks like it's pooling together at panel lines and recesses. Do multiple lighter misting coats instead. Which leads on to my next point...

3) ... I personally recommend against using white primer, and generally opt for grey primers instead. In general, white primers tends to have coarser particles, which tends to not spray on as light or as smooth as grey primers. This might help you avoid the pooling of primer, as the thinner coats are less likely to accumulate in the recesses.
