For Nosher and Paulr,

In the past I have always been a black undercoat.  But I found that there is a tonne change for some of the colours like yellows, orange, some blues and greens.  For WW2 not a real problem.  With colourful uniforms from the late 1600s to early 1900s then I have changed to grey.  I use the shading to highlight now to get depth of colour.  I don't wash and I don't black line, although black lining is still a  very good way to help create depth and a clear separation of colours to highlight detail.

All the figures painted were grey undercoat.  (note: this makes it easy when you are doing white or light grey trousers )
I use Tamiya surface Primer and Mr Surface 1500 or 3000.  My preference is MR Surface 3000.  It goes on very easily, provides a great coat and keeps the detail of the figures no matter the scale.

Cheers,

Scott

I also undercoat in grey, I tend to dry brush highlights and do wash
