Probably obvious, but how do you guys do it?

I'm guessing I should put the body on the legs, paint them, attach the arms, paint them, then do the head, and finally put it on the already textured base?

Do any of you guys just glue them on the base and put them all together first?

I glued the bodies to the legs but left arms and heads unattached. I primed and basecoated everything, then assembled for the remaining painting. You can protect the glue points with a little dot of white glue before priming. I do my basing at the end.

I assemble and convert all my models fully, before spraycoating and start painting, and i also model the base at the end of painting the mini.

Glue bodies to legs, plus bags, ammo etc. But then paint heads and arms separately, before finally gluing everything together. Otherwise I waste too much time trying to paint neatly under arms and chins etc
