Hey man! The idea is to enjoy our wonderful hobby and you did just that! Nice shot for your first!
The reason behind them scrapes is that they needed to be brought down smoothing is grit paper by grit paper having smoother grip paper every step of the way until it looks like a polished surface, then the polish wheel is applied.
Ps: also note, that file is crazy teeth! Didn't need to go that heavy file. They have small (hobby files) available
Ah right!!
I used the grit paper which you described in your topic so I hoped that I did it right, maybe had to do it nicer Haha. I might will do it over with a little more Patience.
Yeah I didn't had a clue which file ineeded xD I already had these. Going to look for a hobby file
Is it possible that the file caused the stripes because of the teeth bring crazy xD?
