I was thinking about that; there wouldn't be much sanding needed, but it's a rather small model and it's hard to paint little details (for example her eyes)
I painted other prints and always thought they were looking nicer unpainted after the job was done but maybe thats just me sucking at painting
Well, many years ago I painted 15 mm / 0.6 inch miniatures for historical tabletop battles and 25 mm / ~1 inch fantasy miniatures for pen & paper roleplaying games. The smaller ones were a real pita, especially as quite a few were needed... like... 200 or so.
Those miniatures were made from a lead/tin mixture and I used acrylic paint for the job.
Took a bit of training to get it done right and it helped to know a couple tricks to achieve certain effects. Stuff like applying a white base colour first, then use a heavily thinned dark brown over the whole figure, which settles in the nooks and crannies, so when you apply the skin's colour after it, these nooks and crannies stay a bit darker and are therefor more apparent...
I bet there are guides for painting miniatures on the interwebz - and to quote some US president: U can do it!
