For 3D printed items I have found the following tutorial helpful:
www.shapeways.com/tutorials/painting3dprintedsls

Some items can be printed in  metal. This is a faucet 3D printed in a bronze finish.

For very fine details I have used a Sharpie permanent marker

     Plastic 3D items can be painted with Tester’s plastic model paints, acrylics or permanent ink. You can then seal them if desired. They can be cut with a sharp single edge razor and larger pieces can be sanded.
     White nylon plastic is the most common and is less expensive. It is a bit more flexible. Detail plastic is more expensive but can get finer details in the model. It Is mostly translucent and a bit more brittle so it can snap off the tabs easier.

I use quality Maple wood for my kits. But even so, when you paint wood it has a tendency to warp. Paint BOTH sides of the wood, even if it won’t show. This will keep warping to a minimum.

Once a kit is designed it is easy to scale up or down with the possibility of ordering kits cut in 1:12, 1:24 or 1:48 scale.
