I usually pin garage kits like this anyway but the peg removal was a pain. Also as a general warning, don't do the thing in where you put two pieces in the same hole. Just make multiple holes instead, minimizes the chance of weak tolerances causing failure, and also contains that failure to one piece if it does happen. For that type of haircut you might also consider making it all one piece.

People recommend masks but honestly I never wore them while sanding, just while painting. You'll need a respirator if you decide to airbrush your figures (And anything larger than 3.5\\\" really needs an airbrush) so it's not a bad investment either way if you're really afraid of resin. Dabbing sandpaper in water before sanding is called wet sanding and I don't recommend doing it all the time. You'll need to at least start with a decent grit dry sanding session. From there, refine the surface you're sanding with higher and higher grit paper and/or wet sand until you're satisfied. After that, apply a surfacer like Mr. Surfacer 1000. This will act as a primer and fill in the surface scuff marks that sanding creates.\n2) Most resin is gray in my experience, and you can get primers that are almost any color. I personally prefer working with clear primer on white resin but I have a background in painting injection molded figures that are typically made with white resin, so that's probably just preference. Remember though that the original color of your model/primer acts as the base color of your paint job. So a black primer works best for darker top coats, light primer works best for lighter top coats, etc. If you have to choose just one, go for a white or light gray primer because it's easier to cover than a dark gray or black primer.
