One Side or Both Sides?

Hannibal:
YES ! of course ...
I am undercoating the backside with acrylic black to prevent any light reflection from the background ... (spray).  You can then paint the characteristics of the editor, engraver, your own signature and painting year in a  clearer colour, not visisble on posting in a frame!

Enjoyed your figures and the nice paint job. The latest issue of The Scabbard from MMSI, available on line for free, is all about box dioramas, especially Shep Payne's work. On page 13 he is quoted as follows:Shep wasn’t kidding when he advised box builders not to worry about what isn’t seen: The back of the flag is not only not painted, it’s not even finished!
So forget the side no one will ever see. I think it would be important to prime it.

John Hoffmann:
Sound advice.
Fantastic painting Hannibal!
Thanks everyone.

Hannibal:

PJDeluhery:
