For context, I am brand new to the dollhouse building world. I just ordered this kit in 1:48 scale, which will be my first project. I am excited to get started once my kit gets here. I have quite limited free time, so I think this will be a long but fun project for me.
I have found that some questions have popped up as I've researched dollhouse building. As with most things, it seems there are varying schools of thought, but any input would be appreciated. I was wondering if those who have worked with these kits used primer at all, and if so what type? I have heard that the sample pots of latex house paint are the way to go for the colors (unsure if I will need to go to a paint store for these), but I haven't seen too much about what primer people use. Also, have people found that painting all of the parts is best before assembly for this kit, or are you painting as you go? If there is anything else you wish you had known when you started out, feel free to post as well. I will try to post photos as I work on the project; I just hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.
