Does anyone know where to get 800/1000 grit sandpaper? Home Depot doesn't have it :S

I have the pre-made Bandai models from when I was a kid. I have the Heavyarms Custom (my all-time favourite Gundam), and as far as I know, the ONLY one I have that's still in one piece.
If I had the cash and the time, I would attempt to build a Gundam model (but I really wanna take a shot at an Initial D one).

First I think you need to distinguish this:
Are you going to treat these as models? (Think 1/24 scale cars, military, etc. serious modelling)
or are you going to treat them as toys?
If the answer is yes to the first question, then you can PM me and I can show you what I have done in the past and occasionally do now. No snap fitting with markers. I use airbrush and paint brushes to get the effects I want.
Sadly the serious community has died locally. GWS is closed for good now so there are no local places to go for information on building these types of kits. I see a lot of mis-information here in this thread.

i prefer thinner markers (finer tips), unfortunately richmond center doesnt have them. you can get those at imperial hobbies on no.3, across from lansdowne/futureshop/bestbuy
get an eraser handy to erase the stuff on the surface after detailing

There are a couple of places in Richmond, but I'll let people who live on the other side of the "great divide" tell you about them. Hee hee........
