I think its a bit different with miniatures that are pretty much to look at. Not all plastics will even accept primer with a good bod and with these trains like Daisy with having to squeeze the sides to open them up and the odd crash here and there I would suspect the paint would start to crack and come off. No proof of this but a theory developed from some experience with other plastics but they have come a long way with primers but its the prepping the plastics that is most important. I just haven't heard or seen anything about this type of resin and paint. I am curious though.
If you use acrylics which are the standard these days for mniatures I don't think you'll get cracking unless the paint is very thick layers. Now enamels are a different matter, they are old technology and highly likely to crack from what I recall of them...
Happily collecting things all my life...
