need advice on starting my first miniature

[Boondocksaint]

i never worked with metal miniatures before...so i have some questions and will appreciate any help

i will most likely be working with 54-90 mm figures

do you wash the parts before priming?
what primer do you use?
what glue do you use?
do you seal the paint when youre done?

Buy resin David.
I airbrush auto primer. I generally give the figure a brush with cellulose thinner, let that evaporate, removes any releasing agent/grease.
As for adhesive, epoxy, but I do like to pin too.
Never needed to seal.
No doubt someone will add to, and, or contradict what I've said.

Yeah, what Carl said. While someone will embellish his comments, they cannot make them better in terms of accuracy.
