I watch a lot of Adam Savage (From Mythbusters) videos on his tested channel and he makes/creates all sorts of things. On more than one occasion he mentions that sandpaper should never be overused, stating that each use actually changes the grit and if you are using really old sandpaper there is no telling how much grit is actually still there. That being said you should look on craigslist/ebay/facebook market for an adjustable speed dremel. It will make the work you are trying to accomplish so much easier.

Well guys and gals a sad day happened over the long weekend...

I actually boxed up my entire 3.75 collection and tore down the diorama. After two years of losing interest thanks to Hasbro, I'm just not as passionate about them as I once was. It is really weird how much time and effort I put into the displays only for them to be glanced over occasionally and collect dust. I am still active on here and I have zero plans to sell my nearly complete collection, but I do feel like a small part of me died. I enjoy seeing everyone's customs, there is so much talent displayed in each piece, but I have lost interest in making customs too. I just feel like Hasbro abandoned something that had endless potential, and I feel the money they want for their current offerings is better spent on other things.

Best of luck completing your collections and fingers-crossed that toy fair will perhaps resurrect the line and I will once again be building another diorama, lol
