"looks like an ashtray"

"i appreciate these videos as a great introduction into model making and finishing and i'd like to add a couple tips i've found over the years.Popsicle sticks are invaluable tools for making small sanding blocks to get into those tight spaces. You can wrap super fine grit sandpaper around flat jewlers files to get really crisp edges. 3M makes adhesive backed sandpaper which can help you skip the step of having to spraymount all your sanding blocks. You can use painters tape to protect important edges from being over sanded."
