Spent the first evening familiarizing myself with the instructions and starting on the interior of the ship and the base.  I'm not rushing anything, as that's usually when I get sloppy.

First step, I assembled the resin  vinyl base to test for fit and to see how it looks.  The base is a really amazing part of the kit, and one of the things that sold me on this model.  You can see a picture of it dry fit below.

Question: Can I use the same primer I always use (Model Master Sandable Lacquer Primer, via airbrush) for resin  vinyl as well?  Or should I get a special resin  vinyl primer?  I'm planning on painting mostly with Model Master Enamels.

My plan is to work on painting the base and assembling the main body in parallel, so I can have one thing drying while I work on assembling the other.  On that front, here is a current interior assembly dry fit.  I'll likely prime this and start painting it when I next sit down at the bench.  Current plan is to paint the walls/floor Gunship Gray, with a dark brown wooden color for the furniture.
