Default RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!

r\c justin. i use very light emory paper, i couldnt tell you exactly how rough/smooth it is but i buy it from my local hobbie shop. the stuff i use when hand sanding a shell is white and its 3 grades up(rougher) from the finest one avaiable. any hardware store should also stock it. i found it takes a little bit of practice and a lot of time to smooth out a rough cut shell bu hand, but it is well worth it in the end. some on my mates use a dremil to sand their bodys but i find hand sanding a shell is much more satisfying. also you should invest in a set of curved lexan sissors, you can find them at any r/c shop and there pretty cheap. it beats the old kitchen pair by a long shot(and trust me it took me a few shells to figure that one out!!!)
i hope this has helped in some way.
