I've recently started painting some plastic medievals (lovely things from the Zvezda 100YW range). I carefully washed them (actually, put them through the dishwasher) to get the stuff off the outside that stops the paint sticking. Then I sprayed them with a special white undercoat that advertised itself as being good for plastic (for cars really, but much cheaper than specialist modelling paints).
Trouble is that every time one of the lances bends a little, a great flake of paint sloughs off. Does anyone know any way of stopping this? It has never been like this with my 15mm metals, despite the fact that their spears get spaghettied all the time!
