Was just wondering what the general consensus was, as i'm eagerly awaiting my commander to dry so i can start painting.

Typically, i leave my models to dry for 2 hours. Gives it chance to properly dry and lose the solvent smell.

I use spray primer for my models. It is usually dry enough to paint around the 20-25min mark depending on humidity and temperature. I still always check the recesses with the corners of paper towels before painting though.

Best practice is to leave primer at least 24 hours to cure fully. You'll find things chip far less easily when the primer is properly dry. Especially important with the Vallejo PU primers.

I leave them for at least 24 hours. I would rather just wait a while and not have problems with my primer.

All your options are on the low side. It does depend what I intend to do after priming and also what the weather is like. Usually even after a couple of hours, you'll find it significantly easier to chip the primer than if you'd waited a day.

If I'm using a wash or heavily watered down paint, I'll wait longer than 3 or 4 hours because the paint will soak in to the primer too much if you don't wait long enough.

If I'm using paints like Tamiya or Aqueous Hobby Colour which are alcohol based, I'll wait 12+ hours because if the primer isn't fully dry, the paint will soften the primer a lot. As the primer is curing, it releases gases, often for much longer even after the paint "feels" dry, you want that to stop before applying any sort of paint like that.

But it does depend on weather as well. If it's a cold night (I often paint in the evening/night) then it'll take longer for the paint to dry and if it's stink'n hot, it will cure a lot faster and you might be good after an hour or two.

Depends on what I am putting over them...

If I am airbrushing a base coat on them, I wait an hour or two (depending upon humidity or temp).

If I am going to brush paint on them, I wait a day or so.

If its krylon primer, I give it a bit longer
if its army painter, I give it about a day.
If its armory brand, a couple of hours is just fine.
If its gw, clearly I am out of the others and will just wait...

If its allclad special metallic primer...I wait a full 24 hours (or more) at an absolute minimum (they are not kidding about that!).

As a rule I wait 24 hours. Now this had caused me to plan out my priming and painting so I don't run out of things to paint while waiting for something to dry.

24 hours +/- typically. I tend to prime things in large batches too, which means most of it gets a lot longer than that.

My post-spray drying/curing time is mostly coincidental. I'm never in such a rush to paint a model that I'd spray it and set a timer - more often than not, I'll spray before heading off to work or going to bed. This is mostly to avoid the stink, though, since I frequently spray indoors. Odds are that I won't actually start painting the thing for at least a few days (frequently longer) and it won't be completed for a few weeks after that (even if that only amounts to a few hours of actual brush time).

Those few times I actually have had a deadline, I probably gave it around two hours. Projects with deadlines are gifts, exclusively, meant for display - I'm "priming" with plain old spray paint and they won't see much handling, let alone abuse, so I don't have to worry about allowing for a full cure of some caustic, (eventually) bulletproof super-primer. A model like that doesn't even need a full two hours before it's able to take fresh paint; it's mostly to avoid the smell.

I wait till the smell of the gases being released is gone entirely, usually get a second opinion when I can no longer smell it.

Then start slapping the paint

Depends upon the environment, mostly. I spray outside, and usually only whenever relative humidity is pretty low, and then I carry the sprues back inside, where relative humidity is EXTREMELY low (to the point of me looking into humidifiers), so I usually only need about 30 minutes, give or take, before they're dry enough for me to consider painting on. Never noticed any issues with paint rubbing off yet.

I usually wait around an hour and a half, two hours max. By then the paint is hard and there is little or no solvent smell coming off the surface. A quick wash with black or white acrylic to match the spray and I'm good to go. I do have an open fire with a good chimney though and placing the primed miniatures on a warm shelf with a good draught can really dry the primer quickly and thoroughly. In summer when there is no fire I might leave the miniature in the sun for three or four hours to get to the same level.

I normally leave them for three hours or more because I keep forgetting about them

A minimum of 24 hours, most times till i cant smell the primer on the model

I leave it about 5 minutes and it's totally fine. If it's gesso, then 12 hours/overnight. Chipping is best avoided by not chipping the paint.
