So it begins. I’m new to this sanding and finishing. I’ve read about all kinds of ways people do this, all the way to the extremes of wet-sanding. I’m not sure I’m ready to go that far or if I ever will be. Suffice it to say, I’ve spent most of my time today doing nothing but filling, sanding, finishing, repeating. I’m able to get a decent fill and finish only to find there’s something I have lost in the process and need to rescribe, only to find in doing so I lost another detail or didn’t fill as well as I hoped, etc.

I haven’t done the very best on my rescribes that I’d like it to be, but I’ve been able to fix my mistakes. The proof will be in the primer coat to see how it all has ended up, smoothed out.

One thing’s for sure: I’m not done filling, sanding, finishing for a while yet.

P.S., the toothpick is filing a hole I want left clean unpainted so I can glue a part in later.
