After a fair bit of sanding, I lightly sprayed the sculpt with grey primer. I could then go over this with wet glass paper to remove all the scratches and flecks in the primer coat. To paint, I have been applying thin coats of acrylic to build up a base skin and hair tone. I then painted in the white eyes and dark red lips, allowing them to dry before adding detail such as shadow and makeup. The pupils have been dotted on with the tip and body of a toothpick. A thin wash of dark pinks and leather skin tones gives definition under the jaw and around the hairline. To finish, white highlights show where the light should fall on her face. I am happy with this reference model and would recommend this scale for producing a poseable model for stop-frame animation.
