I'm always scared i'm going to crack the canopy while sanding/polishing it (and of course you can't polish out a crack).  Probably less chance of that if its superglued onto the model.

It's a gorgeous build.

And yeah, it's a real 'WTF have I done?!' moment when you first start sanding one, but the old school method still works.
And using a nail buffing system makes it even easier - at least when the canopy is off the model. 

Yup I always finish with toothpaste, but it needs to be paste not gel.

Hmm, I usually finish with metal polish but toothpaste will be finer and leave it minty fresh.

And really, really old school. In fact you could even call it "retro" and sell it for twice the price

Shh - don't give them more ideas!

That is a very good build.
Sometimes i don't even have to use any polishing compound for canopies, the buffer of the UMP sanders set does an amazing job, i really like these sanders.

How much 7 notes?  Nah, the pack of four blocks (each one has four separate grades) I got from Poundworld are far superior and much cheaper - they work out at 25p each.

Well, i've never seen those types of blocks selling around here but they are cheap indeed. But i assume that you've tried the UMP ones to say that the Poundworld ones are far superior... i can't say which are superior cause i haven't tried both types, but i know the 4 UMP buffers and sanders i've used have been working very well for me and i've been using them quite a bit for almost a year now and all they needed so far was a wash and they're as good as new. Besides, they're slim enough to sand in a lot of places where i believe a block will not reach so i'd say they're more versatile than simple sanding blocks. But again, that's my experience... and truth be told, i didn't pay for mine, i won them while watching the show...

I bought some sanding sticks very similar to that at my LMS, paid something like C$8.00 for two.  Only to find out a short while later they were identical to the polishing sticks my wife uses on her nails (same grits and everything), which can be got at Shoppers Drugmart for about C$1.25 each ---- and most of them have two different grits (one to each side)
