I worry about sanding too much. I hope they all fit in the end.
Don't worry at all... this is just the start of your sanding process HAHAHA. When you have the hull frames assemble, you will have to continue sanding... A LOT !!! . I bought a mouse sander, to sand the hull interior and exterior. By hand,it's was a never ending story for me.

Cheers

Vic, here are the tools I used to sand the hull interior and exterior.

Daniel, you showed Don Farr some of the tools you used to clean up your decorations. How did you use your Dremel? Did you have a special bit? Also, your decorations are very clean.

Vic, I tried to find these bits online again and I couldn't. Could be a smarter modeler recognize them so I will post a few images. They are very small 1,5+ " full size (see image with ruler).

I have one of those! I also have a couple of those burr removers. Boy, you'd have to be awfully careful with them, though. It looks like I could chew up good stuff as well.

Vic, I keep the stylo dremel among my fingers in a way that I manage the speed chuck, by slowing it or stopping it, if necessary.
I have the stylo in the lowest speed and with 1 finger control it during the carving/clening. You can reduce the speed or stop it for a few seconds with your finger(s). In that way you have 100% control of the tool.

Cheers !!!
Daniel

PS: I also do it under my magnifying lighted glass

I think I’m going to have to quit my part-time job. I may also have to get a prescription for Valium. And my stack of frames looks like a jenga game gone mad!
