Hello!!
What "primer" and paints do you recommend me use with 1:35 Dragon figures of German soldiers? (nowadays, I am using enamel Model Master).
Besides, to what do you call a "wash"?

A wash is described below by keith Forsythe
Wash Explained
I use Humbrol enamels mostly and like using them. Other use different paints like Acrylics and oils. There is no right or wrong ....... just what suits you and is available.
I prime my models with a light spray of humbrol spray can --- Ligter colours are usually best. Wash them well using warm soapy water and then rinse well. Then lightly spray them from a distance. No need to 100% cover everything. Dont over spray either or you will bury some detail!
