I received my first WSF model. I'm new to this and I'm not sure how to go about painting it since the surface is so bumpy.
I've heard I should just layer on lots of paint, or try sanding.
I was hoping someone who's actually done this could give some advice.

The best possible surface is produced by first using an ultra-thin coat of white putty:
Followed by very fine sanding with an Emory board, until almost all the putty is removed, so it fills in the gaps.
Then a coat of dilute PVA glue (to seal it), more sanding, then it's ready to paint.
If there is ultra-fine detail, just use 2-3 coats of dilute PVA glue, a very very light sand, then several coats of paint.
