This is a step that I&#8217;ve been skipping for years, sometimes because I was unwilling to take the extra time, sometimes because I was worried that leftover water or soap on the model surface would do more damage to the paint adhesion than any dust or oil on the surface could have done&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>However, on several recent projects I&#8217;ve had paint adhesion problems.  Nothing major, so I was never really sure what the cause was &#8211; usually just the edges would wear off way faster than I&#8217;d like.  It happened on the Geara Doga, HGUC Zaku, the Scopedog&#8230;  Probably on the Queadluun Rau &#8211; I can&#8217;t remember&#8230;  Anyway, this time around I decided to try the soap scrub again, see how it plays out.  With luck, the parts should be all dried out tonight so I can start priming them.<\/p>\n<p>My plan for this thing is to paint it up all &#8220;Real Type&#8221; style &#8211; not necessarily one of the paint schemes from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hlj.com\/product\/BAN08725\">Real Type Zaku kit<\/a> Bandai put out ages ago &#8211; but something in that vein.
