Working on the steam powered winch, it is wise to paint the component pieces before starting assembly, and just do touch up painting after assembly. Be sure to sand the dowel before cutting it to the 40mm length, it is much easier to sand then cut to length. Add the brass components that are not to be painted until after the assembly, including the post which is inserted into the orange top piece. It is helpful to have the winch sit flat when inserting the 8 center pieces that are painted black. You will also likely need to re-drill the eight holes for the center pieces after painting.
