#How go from these black primed mini's to this?

Hello all! Thanks for clicking!

Also, I'm not looking for this specific flame style, just the color scheme.

I have, roughly, the necessary paints. I'm curious as to most efficient NEXT steps involved. What I believe to be correct is :

  • Base (A mix of ultramarine blue and black seems to work well when I test it, though I think I'm missing an additional hue needed)
  • Wash
  • Detail (the beige and fushia)
  • Proft?

Couple questions:

  • Do I need to do a wash if the primer is black?
  • Every time I need new paint for base after the brush is spent do I have to keep mixing to get the right color or is there a way to premix a set amount of paint in order to keep consistent shades and save time?
  • How long do you usually let paint dry for each step?

Thanks for any help in advance. Feel free to DM me questions on anything I need to clarify.

EDIT:

I just realized how cool the cockpit looks gold so I'll likely do that as well and put metals on certain joints too.

Should this be the last step?

ALSO, I have a can of ultramarine blue primer, could I apply another layer of primer and then hope the wash darkens it closer to the the shade of blue on the left?
